About

Small Church Admin is for the person who keeps a small church organized, often without the title and usually without much time.

In a church of 40 or 140 people, the administrator might be the pastor, a part-time staff member, or a volunteer with a spreadsheet and a free evening. The advice written for large churches assumes a staff and a budget most small churches don't have. These guides start from where small churches actually are.

Who writes it

I'm Steven Chen. My wife Ivana and I are members of 4Pointes, a church in Dunwoody, Georgia. For a long time we ran it on spreadsheets, forms and group texts, and they served us well. As we grew, we wanted one place for all of it, so we built church software for our own church. That became Churchory.

The honest part

Because we make church software, we have a reason to want you to use ours. So here is how we handle that:

• Every page says who made it.
• Most of what we write here works with any tool, including a spreadsheet. When a spreadsheet is enough, we'll say so.
• When we describe other products, we use their own public pages and link to them, and we don't hide what they do better.

If you spot something wrong or out of date, email hello@churchory.com and we'll fix it.
