Jim,

 

We have been using ACS since 2002.  They have many modules that can be used
as you need them now or you can add them later.  We also use the Financial
Module to have the contributions amounts feed directly into the ledger.  

 

I think ACS is one of the best out there because it was written with
churches in mind.  It has modules to track attendance, a calendar to
schedule rooms (or people), they are starting to have modules you can use
over the internet.  If I can answer any questions, let me know.

Greetings all.

As the new chair of finance at McMannen UMC, I'm looking for some guidance
and feedback from this group.

Specifically we are in search of a new software package to support the
Financial Secretary and track and report our incoming contributions. This
would integrate our membership database and provide more functions as we
grow. Some of the packages we are reviewing include Church Helpmate,
Membership Plus, PowerChurch, Servant Keeper, and Shepherd's Staff.

 

Can you folks share your experiences and thoughts (good and bad) about any
of these? Is there a "gold standard" or one package that is head and
shoulders above the rest? Is there a package that we do not have on our list
that is worth a look?

 

Just as a quick poll.what is your church using?

 

Thank so very much for your help in this.

 

Jim Shaw
