If you've ever wished your church could have the same caliber of management tools as the megachurch down the road — without the megachurch budget — ChurchSoftware (formerly StoreHouse) was built with you in mind. This all-in-one church management platform offers people management, online giving, accounting, worship planning, volunteer scheduling, kids check-in, event registration, small groups, email communication, custom forms, and a sermon library — and their core platform is completely free for every 501(c)3 organization.^1
Based in Longview, Texas and led by CEO and Co-Founder Chris McNabb, ChurchSoftware was born from firsthand experience on church staffs and in church plants where great tools were out of reach financially. As their about page puts it: "We believe healthy churches deserve healthy tools. And if we can remove one barrier to ministry, even just a little, that's worth everything."^2 The platform is available in eight languages — English, Spanish, Portuguese, Mandarin, French, Hindi, Korean, and Filipino — serving a potential audience of over 3.7 billion people worldwide.^3
The team of nine brings genuine enterprise expertise to church-sized budgets, spanning a CTO, a dedicated CISO, a Chief Architect, and leaders across product, mobile engineering, payment services, human resources, and quality assurance.^2 ChurchSoftware also includes an AI-powered Pastoral Care Bot ("Joe the Bot") designed to intelligently connect church members with the right ministry based on their needs, while maintaining clear boundaries — it routes people to real human care rather than attempting to provide pastoral counsel itself.^4
