    The system fits extremely well with our non-profit requirements and provides us the capability to report to our congregation their payments to the Church. The system is set up for recurring events and not one time events. This would not fit a for profit business very well.

    Cons
    Ministry Brands
    • The only thing I can suggest is frequency of memorized transactions, to allow for bimonthly billing. Right now, the system allows for 26 week cycle.

    Sometimes the support team is very busy and can take a while to get in contact with them. When we do, the individual is very knowledgeable about the system and they collaborate with us for solutions

    Just like any system, while trying to explain your issue, it was difficult to be on the same page. ParishSoft was very patient through this process

    Implementation was seamless. ParishSoft assisted us at the time of downloading our existing information from the system we were on and uploading the information into ParishSoft. We found no errors in the conversion.
