Churchteams is web-based church management software that unifies the systems most churches juggle separately. One platform covers the member database, groups, giving, registrations, volunteer scheduling, child check-in, communication, and workflows, so church staff spend more time with people and less time managing software.^1 Plan essentials also include a member app for the congregation.^3
Its signature feature is Text-to-Church: keyword-driven texting that lets people give, register, check in children, and sign up for events by text, with no logins or apps required.^1 Built-in online giving offers donor-covered fees, so more of each gift stays in ministry.^1 With all of a church's information in one place, Churchteams tracks engagement and discipleship progress and can add benchmarks to member records through automation.^1 The team imports a church's existing data, sets up the system, and personally trains staff during onboarding.^1
Churchteams began in 1999 as an idea for a church database at the church where co-founder Boyd Pelley was the discipleship pastor and co-founder Mark Horan, a software developer, was attending.^2 It started as small-group software and grew into a full church management system as churches asked for donation tracking, check-in, and assimilation.^2 The company is still owner-operated. In the founders' words, "Churchteams is a blend of ministry and business, in that order. Ministry always comes first."^2 Boyd served as a discipleship, administrative, and family pastor for over 18 years before and alongside building the company.^2
"Churchteams has been a great partner to us. It is easy for our volunteers to work with. It is easy for our staff. And, best of all, it's reliable." — David Jordan, Executive Pastor, Crosspoint Church^3
Churchteams is sold in subscription tiers, the All-Star, MVP, and Homerun plans, picked by the number of people in the church database. Every plan starts with 30 days free, with no credit card and no contract, and churches can cancel anytime.^3
