## Reviews

### "Church Windows" — 5.0/5

> **Dawn** | *5 February 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Church windows allows us to track tithing, membership, births, death, etc.&#10;Membership and Donations are tied together to make it easier to look at each family as a whole.&#10;I really like the versatility in using envelope numbers or the persons name.
> 
> **Cons**: End of year Envelope reassign can be tricky. Along with transferring Head of Household.
> 
> There are so many webcasts and web videos to learn from. If you come across something you are not sure how to do you can find the answer easily.

### "Using Church Windows you need to study the webinars and wookbooks\!" — 4.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *17 May 2019* | Nonprofit Organization Management | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It is basically a good database that is steadily improving as new abilities are added. Mail merging running list all of this is very easy. Also the Payroll software is easy and complete. A first timer can use it. You put the information in and update your information as needed. Church Windows data can be converted and used in Word, Excel even Outlook so it is very usable. Also I use it in WordPerfect which my pastor prefers.
> 
> **Cons**: You are forced to use the default programs but you can save your own version under a different name. The printing program can be a problem so you have to be careful what computer program with printer that you use.
> 
> I use Church Windows everyday, because I work for a United Methodist Church and it is required, but I don't have any real complaints. It is a very good database for members, visitors, payroll and running giving statements, etc.

### "Navigating Church Windows for Ease of Use" — 3.0/5

> **Staci** | *1 August 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I like how all of the options and functions are easy to find and navigate through in finding the information and the end result of printing out a report, labels, or directory listing that I am looking for. All of the information is easy to read, find, and use when I am able to print out a listing and read it correctly.
> 
> **Cons**: I did not like how the instructions are somewhat muddled and a little hard to interpret sometimes. The system itself is easy to use, but however the steps in order to understand in how to use the software is not necessarily the easiest to understand. Whenever I have contacted Church Windows phone support they have always been very helpful, but sometimes it gets confusing in order to know how to ask the certain questions to under to achieve the end results for what I am looking for. I am going to explore more so in newest coffee break webinars in order to access the features and function to help me understand the system and help me to navigate around it much better.
> 
> Overall experience is very good. I would rate it very well. Adequate support makes all the difference in helping to apply a good experience in working with any kind of software uses.

### "Perfect for small to mid sized churches" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *21 May 2022* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the option of one time payments. Although we do pay monthly for certain services, it's so nice to know if we needed to cut back on the monthly options, we would still have a working product for running the church financials.  &#10;&#10;The customer support is amazingly helpful.
> 
> **Cons**: No mac support. This is a little limiting since all of my design programs are running through my macbook.
> 
> Our team loves Church Windows. It's perfect for our church, and we haven't had any payday hiccups since we adopted the software. So that makes everyone happy\!

### "Membership Module" — 5.0/5

> **Cheryl** | *20 May 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is the only module we have at this time.  It has lots of features that allow me to customize reports and data that I need to help my co-workers out.  It is very easy to use.  The webinars are amazing and since they are recorded, you can go back and re-watch if you need a refresher.  Everytime I have called in or emailed a question I get prompt and helpful feedback.  They will even right down your request for the developers if what you are looking for is not possible at this time.  Friendly and knowledgeable staff.  Thanks for making my workday so much easier\!  I also like the ability to only purchase the modules you need.  No wasting money.
> 
> **Cons**: The beginning was a bit rough.  The migration of data was a bit rough.  Some things did not migrate well.  Since then all good.  I started using Church Windows Membership in 2008.
> 
> I did not have access to the other system at the church nor could I get access to it for some reason.  I needed a system that I could use to do my job.  A friend of mine had used Church Windows at another church and gave me the heads up.  It has been a huge help.
