Church Management Software installation, commissioning and support

A unique area of specialization for 5K is our Church Management Software consulting practice. It’s our 5K Ministry™ Program, with three levels based upon your exact needs. We have provided IT services to churches and other non-profit organizations for years, and know the different providers and their packages very well. Even smaller churches can make use of some type of church management system (ChMS). A good software package will help manage membership, committees and groups, mailings, donations, events, learning, reporting and more. With dozens of vendors providing software of all types, it can be confusing which software fits your ministry and it’s initiatives.
