Running a church means juggling member records, event planning, donation tracking, volunteer coordination, and communications — often across half a dozen disconnected tools. ChMeetings brings all of that into one cloud-based platform designed specifically for churches, ministries, and dioceses of every size.^1
At its core, ChMeetings offers a member database with advanced search and custom fields, online and offline donation management through Stripe and PayPal — including Apple Pay and Google Pay on the online giving page — event registration with child check-in, volunteer scheduling with signup sheets and reusable email templates, worship service planning with templates and a song library, a drag-and-drop email designer with an AI Writing Assistant that can generate, re-tone, or translate text, text and voice messaging, push notifications, project and task management, and a full accounting module with budgets, bank reconciliation, fixed assets, and a matrix balance sheet view — all without needing separate software for each task.^1^14 Churches can now also collect payments directly through any form — fixed-price items or custom donations — with payments automatically recorded as contributions when linked to a fund.^15
ChMeetings is also leaning into AI thoughtfully: an AI Email Writing Assistant handles generate/re-tone/translate in the email editor, an AI-powered Advanced Search (Beta) turns plain-language requests like "Men aged 18+ who haven't attended events in the last 30 days" into the right people filters, and an MCP integration lets admins connect AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini to ask questions about their church data in natural language — strictly read-only, with published guidance on data security, privacy, and accuracy.^15^17
The platform is available in 26 languages, includes free data migration for paid plans, and offers enterprise-grade diocese management with centralized member records, multi-parish support, independent church accounts, and custom Power BI reporting.^2^5
ChMeetings was launched in 2018 by Jios Apps Inc, a USA-based company founded and led by Michael Attia, whose team actively serves in church ministries like youth group, couples' ministry, and Sunday school.^4 That hands-on involvement shapes how features get built — new tools are developed based on direct feedback from the churches they serve. Today, more than 7,000 churches, ministries, and dioceses trust ChMeetings, including organizations like The Salvation Army.^1 In 2025–2026, the platform rolled out role-based Form Managers, automated Attendance Reports, Public Groups for community engagement through the member portal, a dedicated Coptic Orthodox church management solution, project and task management, fixed assets accounting, payments via forms, and a Capterra/G2-recognized reputation for support.^5^9
