## Reviews

### "No need to look elsewhere for church management software" — 5.0/5

> **Greg** | *November 20, 2018* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Three years ago after extensive analysis of the top church management software on the market, I recommended and then implemented Church Community Builder at my church. I've never looked back. In those three years, the company not only significantly expanded its features and functionality, but also its ease of use. Administration and finance areas now run so much more effectively through the use of the software, and our mission critical youth ministry relies on it for all their local out-reach and international events. I continue to enthusiastically both use and support the software.
> 
> **Cons**: In the last year, Church Community Builder has caught up and is beginning to surpass the user interface experience that much smaller companies with limited software functionality were rolling out. I look forward to the continued rollouts that are planned for making the mobile experience surpass those smaller companies, many which have gone out of business.
> 
> The exceptional experience I've had with the software has only been matched by the top-notch customer support experience that encompasses friendly and knowledgeable customer service personnel, substantive email updates, and webinars that cover both current functionality and future plans. Their level of integrity in sharing forthrightly where the product is and where it is going exceeds the experiences I've had with other businesses.

### "Church Community Builder" — 5.0/5

> **Sam** | *March 23, 2020* | Computer Networking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software was very useful as a communication tool. I also used the software for the check in feature as well.
> 
> **Cons**: The software was difficult to navigate and could be difficult to configure but once you had it set up properly it worked well.
> 
> Church community builder is an excellent tool with an excellent support staff. Although the setup was difficult, once complete the tool was excellent and offered tons of customizable options.

### "Choose someone else" — 1.0/5

> **Tiffanie** | *May 12, 2022* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Never even used it. They took forever to set it up so by the time we got to use it and realize we don't like it, it was too late to cancel. They are scamming churches.
> 
> **Cons**: We have had church community builder for almost 2 years. Part of that was the setup time, then we launched... We hated it. It was challenging to use and didn't work for our church. I tried to reach out and figure out what we could do to fix it. They never respond\! I have been trying to cancel my services for over a year. As soon as someone responds, they find out what's going on and stop responding. We have never used the software at our church, other than the giving, and we don't want to. I have never had worse customer service in my life. If you are thinking about using this company, don't. Use Breeze or Subsplash or literally anyone else.
> 
> Horrible. Customer Service is awful and they are unwilling to work with you. Basically a scam for churches.

### "Great Product Especially in the Present Circumstances" — 5.0/5

> **Matt** | *December 9, 2020* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: The software has been great for our church family during these times. It has helped our congregation to stay engaged and to follow along with our services and remain connected. The customer service has been great and has responded quickly any time that we had an issue.
> 
> **Cons**: So far we have not been able to use the Connect features and that would be a great help to our engagement ,but I understand that these features are still being rolled out so we look forward to their being implemented soon. I believe this will be a significant upgrade to the features within our church app.
> 
> Great product with great customer service which has definitely improved engagement at our church.

### "My Review" — 5.0/5

> **kenneth** | *July 12, 2023* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: donor management, online giving, and forms.
> 
> **Cons**: lack of options to customize options on profile and various parts of the chms.
