About

BCMS is a church management software that has been designed to assist Churches and other religious organizations with structuring and managing of daily operations. It facilitates all aspects of operating a Church: assisting with membership acquisition and retention, fund-raising, event planning, financial reporting, etc. We believe that Churches can focus more on loving people and helping them grow spiritually than spending thousands of hours on operational issues. BCMS has been designed with actual Church data and scenarios, tailored for the best convenience of Church administrators.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The ease and simplicity of this product is amazing. You follow the prompts and if data entered is not correct, delete it and re-enter. Data entered can be saved on a flash drive.

Cons

  • I often use the program at night and if I need tech support I must wait until next day business for assistance. That is not really a ‘con’ but it is closest to a ‘con’.
