About Church Member Pro
Honest reviews and guides for church management software, written for churches that most tech publications ignore.
Why We Exist
Most "best church software" lists only review American tools for American churches. But the majority of the world's 2 billion Christians live outside North America. The fastest-growing churches are in Africa and Latin America, and diaspora churches in the UK and Europe have unique needs that no one covers.
We started Church Member Pro because nobody was talking about software that works for churches in Lagos, Nairobi, São Paulo, or London. Not just Dallas.
What We Cover
Real Pricing
We break down what software actually costs in your currency, not just the US sticker price.
Local Payment Methods
M-Pesa, Paystack, Flutterwave, bank transfers. We check if tools support the way your members actually give.
WhatsApp & SMS
In much of the world, WhatsApp is the communication channel. We test whether church tools support it.
Mobile-First Access
Most church admins work from their phones. We evaluate how well each platform works on Android and mobile data.
Our Approach
We test real products. We pay attention to pricing in emerging markets, mobile-first access patterns, communication tools like WhatsApp and SMS, and regional payment methods like M-Pesa and Paystack. Every review considers the global church, not just the American one.
We're honest about what works and what doesn't. When a product is great, we say so. When it falls short for your context, we say that too.
Who We Are
Church Member Pro is a publication by the team behind Gathrik, a church management platform built for churches worldwide. When we review Gathrik alongside competitors, we aim to be fair and honest. Our reviews cover strengths and limitations for every product, including our own.
