If your church is juggling separate tools for bulletins, giving, email, events, and your website — and paying for each one — eChurch was built to solve that exact problem. It's a free, all-in-one church management platform that brings everything into a single connected system.^1
Originally launched as a digital church bulletin tool, eChurch has grown over 20 years into a full-featured platform serving over 50,000 churches. Today it includes digital bulletins with built-in analytics, peer-to-peer fundraising, online giving (with Stripe, Square, or Vanco), email and SMS communication, an AI-powered website builder, small group management, event registration with check-in, an online store, and automated giving statements — all at no cost. The free tier is funded by optional donor tips, which churches can turn off at any time.^2
What makes eChurch stand out is its commitment to eliminating platform fees entirely. Most church software charges monthly subscriptions plus per-transaction fees that can add up to thousands annually. eChurch lets churches choose their own payment processor and keep those dollars in ministry. A $19/month Plus tier is available for advanced integrations like QuickBooks and Vanco.^3
The platform is designed for simplicity — pastors, volunteers, and administrators can get up and running in about 15 minutes with no technical background required. It includes a built-in AI assistant that helps create bulletins, write announcements, build forms, and draft emails.^1
