Everything your parish needs, in one place
Parish life is busy: services and events to plan, rooms to book, volunteers to coordinate and a congregation to stay in touch with. When all of that is scattered across spreadsheets, sticky notes and email threads, it costs time you don't have. With ChurchDesk, your parish's work sits in one place – so you have the full picture and more time for what matters: your congregation.
As a busy Central London church with lots of services and events going on, we have found ChurchDesk a great single solution for some of our key administrative needs. As an early user, we took a bit of a leap of faith but have no regrets, having found the support and responsiveness of the ChurchDesk team second-to-none.
It was a breath of fresh air coming to ChurchDesk. There was no hard sell and since signing up the support team has been really responsive and importantly recognise that all churches are not the same.
All your parish's work in one place
The calendar is the heart of your parish: services, rooms, resources and rotas sit in one place and stay up to date for everyone with access. Best of all, enter it once and it's used everywhere. An entry in the calendar appears automatically on your website, in your newsletter and on the rota, with no double keying. Because every module is connected, fiddly, repetitive tasks become simple and automatic.
Stay in touch with your congregation
A church that communicates well reaches more people. With a contact database that is always up to date, you have an overview of everyone your parish is in touch with, and you can reach them by email, SMS or newsletter. From the invitation and the sign-up to a website that keeps itself current, everything works together, so you can build a living conversation both inside and beyond the church.
Teamwork for staff and volunteers alike
A parish is run by many hands. With ChurchDesk, everyone has access to exactly what they need, without a round of phone calls or emails back and forth. Role-based permissions let you decide precisely who can see and edit what. That way staff and volunteers can organise themselves, and tasks are handed over clearly and reliably.
Administration and finances, kept in order
A parish has to keep track of collections, payments, invoices and the cash book, often with very few people to do it. ChurchDesk brings it all together in one place, so you can record collections and cash payments without loose slips of paper. And your data is held securely: ChurchDesk helps you stay on top of GDPR, so the rules don't get in the way of your work.
Less time spent coordinating and updating, more time with people
With ChurchDesk as an all-in-one platform, you can spend more time with your congregation and less time on administration tasks. In ChurchDesk, all changes are automatically updated across the platform, so staff and volunteers always have the latest update.
The big picture makes your work easier
All your tasks and data in one place. In ChurchDesk you get the full overview. All changes are synchronised instantly across devices. This means you don't have to spend time checking all details and changes.
Access based on need and role in the church
In ChurchDesk, staff and volunteers are granted an access based on their role and work needs in the church. Therefore you can rest assured that they only have access to relevant information.
Always on top of GDPR compliance
Keeping track of GDPR across the website and communication workflows can quickly become time-consuming. ChurchDesk helps you stay on top of the complicated rules so that GDPR doesn't get in the way of your work.
All workflows in one platform
One login for everything you need. With ChurchDesk, you don't have to switch back and forth between numerous tools. All workflows are in one place – transparent and clearly organised.
