Church Management Software: Building for Multi-Branch Congregations
Member directories, donations, events and sermon archives — architecture notes from PSL AMEX deployments.

Churches need CRM warmth, not corporate coldness. Software must handle families (not just individuals), volunteer rotas, donation tax receipts and livestream embeds without overwhelming volunteers.
Member graph model
Households link spouses and children. Privacy controls limit who sees contact details. Pastoral notes require encryption and role restrictions.
Donations and compliance
Track cash, card and recurring gifts. Generate year-end statements. Integrate Stripe or PayPal with proper fund accounting.
Events and communications
RSVP, volunteer signup, email/SMS blasts segmented by ministry. Mobile-first because most volunteers manage from phones.
