Church management software features your staff will love

Between Sunday mornings, midweek ministries, and all the moving parts that keep your church thriving, your team has a lot to manage. Coordinating volunteers, planning events, keeping up with families, and tracking engagement can stretch even the most organized staff thin.

That’s why the right church management software (ChMS) matters. It means helping your systems talk to each other, so your people can stay focused on what really matters: caring for your congregation.

That’s where ChurchStaq comes in. Pushpay’s all-in-one church platform brings together ChMS, Giving, Everygift, and Insights. A connected ecosystem designed to make ministry operations simpler, smarter, and more human.

A single, connected system that keeps everyone on the same page

Ask any church administrator what slows them down, and you’ll hear a common theme: information scattered across too many places. Member details in one system. Giving data in another. Volunteer schedules tracked separately.

With ChurchStaq, your team works from one shared source of truth. Every person, family, and volunteer lives in a unified profile that’s easy to find and simple to update. When your giving tools, mobile app, and ChMS all communicate seamlessly, your staff can access the right information at the right time.

Attendance tracking that works quietly in the background

Every church needs to know who’s showing up. But that shouldn’t require manual lists or extra admin work. ChurchStaq’s attendance tracking tools make it easy to record participation through check-ins, events, and small groups.

Because attendance data is captured automatically and synced with your ChMS, your team gets accurate insights without adding extra steps to their workflow. It’s one less thing for staff to chase down each week.

Volunteer management that keeps everyone organized (and happy)

Volunteers are the heartbeat of your ministry, but managing their schedules can feel like a full-time job. ChurchStaq simplifies it with built-in volunteer management tools that help staff schedule, send reminders, and even let volunteers swap assignments on their own.

When communication is clear and expectations are set, your volunteers stay engaged and your staff gets time back to focus on leading, not coordinating.

Events and registrations made simple

From retreats to family nights to community classes, events are one of the best ways to build connection. With ChurchStaq, your staff can manage every step from registration to follow-up in one place.

You can build custom forms, collect payments, track attendance, and sync event data right into your ChMS. No duplicate entry. No missed follow-up. Just one seamless experience for both your team and your attendees.

Giving tools that simplify generosity

When it comes to financial stewardship, clarity and reliability matter. For both your donors and your staff. Pushpay’s giving platform, powered by Everygift, provides a fast, secure, and flexible way for people to give online, via text, or through your church app.

Everygift keeps donations flowing even during service interruptions and helps prevent failed transactions, giving your finance team peace of mind. And when tax season rolls around, IRS-compliant giving statements and financial reports are only a few clicks away.

Your donors get peace of mind. Your finance director gets a weekend.

Pushpay’s giving platform meets PCI-DSS Level 1 compliance standards, the highest level of security for payment processing.

Reports and insights your leaders will actually use

Data’s only helpful when it’s easy to understand. With Pushpay Insights, your staff can see giving trends, volunteer engagement, and attendance metrics in one clear, visual dashboard.

These real-time reports give leaders a better grasp of what’s working in ministry and where to focus next—no spreadsheets required. Whether you’re prepping for a board meeting or planning the next quarter, the insights are ready when you are.

Integration that brings it all together

One of the most powerful parts of ChurchStaq is how naturally it all fits together.

When someone gives online, checks in their kids, or registers for an event, that information flows automatically to their member profile. Finance, communications, and ministry teams can all work from the same connected data without double entry.

Less manual work. More shared visibility. A clearer picture of your church community.

How it changes ministry behind the scenes

You can see the difference in small but meaningful ways every day:

• The children’s ministry leader who checks in families with confidence.
  
• The volunteer coordinator who’s no longer chasing confirmations.
  
• The pastor who can see recent engagement before making a care call.

When your tools are connected, your staff feels equipped and supported—and your ministry runs with greater ease and clarity.

Technology that fuels ministry

Great ministry happens when people—not processes—take center stage. The right church management software removes friction, connects your systems, and gives your staff more time to do what they do best: lead, serve, and build relationships.

With ChurchStaq, everything works together—ChMS, Giving, Everygift, and Insights—so your team can spend less time managing data and more time caring for people.
