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 — StoreHouse (now also known as ChurchSoftware) 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 co-founded by Eric Leija and Chris McNabb, StoreHouse 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
StoreHouse also includes an AI-powered Pastoral Care 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 Paid add-ons are available for features with unavoidable third-party costs, including payroll, background checks, branded mobile apps, church websites, and two-way texting.^3
