Church Office Online
About Church Office Online
Church Office Online is a web based church management software with its own iOS and Android apps . Using Church Office Online’s mobile apps, users can add new members, edit existing member profiles, manage groups, review completed and incomplete follow-ups and tasks, assign interactions to staff, take event attendance, register visitors, communicate with members, and more. Integrations with Twilio and MailChimp allow users to send out mass emails and text messages to church members, notifying them of emergencies, cancellations, changes to meetings, and keeping them up to date with church news
Church Office Online empowers members to manage and update their own profile information, without allowing access to other members’ personal or sensitive information. Members can view and download annual contribution statements, search for other members in the online directory, see events on the church calendar, and be reminded of birthdays and other important church anniversaries.
Church Office Online’s child check-in feature allows parents to check their children into events using their mobile phones once they are within half a mile of the church. Name tags are printed automatically on check-in, with matching numbers for parents and children to increase security, and the option to include health and allergy notes on children's badges.
Church Office Online’s integrated online giving lets users create multiple funds to accept online, mobile and kiosk donations. Through the custom-branded online giving page, members can set up recurring contributions, which are automatically collected, and users can also enable Facebook integration to allow members to donate directly from the church’s Facebook page. There are multiple payment options available, such as debit card, credit card, and eChecks, and users can choose which forms of payment to accept. Church Office Online also enables users to view giving trends, high and low donation months, and month-to-month donation comparisons, as well as creating donor contribution statements and custom reports.

Great experience.
Great experience.
Pros
They have great functionality on certain levels of the software for leaders to connect with their small groups easily which has been nice.
Cons
I think as you grow and want to see more data flow, it's hard to see everything with the reports that they give you.

Overall, I am a huge fan of Church Office Online. We are adding more features, online giving and streaming and ministry one which I believe will be hugely beneficial as we move forward.
Pros
Before we set up the chms we kept track of small group attendance by filling out forms which was a pain to say the least. Leaders had to remember to fill out their form and bring it to church. Many times it was forgotten. Now with the mobile app leaders can take attendance immediately after their group gets done and I have it in my office the next day. What a time saver!! We love the kid check in feature also!!
Cons
Sometimes reporting for attendance gets a little difficult to get the results I want. for example, I wanted a group of adults outside a particular group. it worked to get all people outside a particular group but when I wanted to separate out the kids it would not do it.

A small organization that could fit very neatly into the way COO is structured should consider this. I know there are larger organizations that use this product and I would think they have had to address some of the same issues we have discovered. I have no doubt the program could be expanded to be outstanding. Just needs a little attention in some of the areas listed above.
Pros
The cost of the program is certainly great and the support Mike gives also seems to be outstanding. The basic concept is very easy to understand as databases go. The interface is not cluttered with lots of things that look like a programmer designed it. The various levels of rights is a nice touch as is the ability for members to access and update their own data. Although we haven't implemented yet, the ability to integrate with online giving is also a plus.
Cons
Very limited in its ability to be customized in basic areas such as membership labels and categories are static and unchangeable. Student's email and phone numbers are unavailable in directories. Inability to directly sync with Google contacts and calendars is a big drawback. Current calendar is not useful for our organization and because of this we will have to duplicate every event on 2 calendars. The inability to import data apart from sending in to COO seems antiquated. Using the product has revealed shortcomings in usability such as simple navigation links that have been omitted. Although highlighted as a feature, lack of a native iOS or Android app makes the program virtually unusable on a smart phone. Overall this is certainly a step up for anyone who hasn't had an online database, and yet it seems to be a bit immature for a product that has been available for 7 years.

Once I contact the office they respond promptly and ai am able to make good decisions about the church software needs.
Pros
We are a small church and needed some software that would allow us to take care of giving reports and document membership. This software is easy to use and will allow us to expand functionality as we grow.
Cons
The only drawback Insee so far is that it is sometimes hard to communicate directly to the company. They have different titles for the different versions or parts of the software and that sort of confuses me. I think because I am not a robust user.

Their customer service support is outstanding. If I have had questions, they have always worked to provide answers, even if they didn't have them immediately.
Pros
I appreciate that this software is robust enough to handle multiple functions, ie giving reporting, data base for church membership, directory options, and linking to security checks for our volunteers. I would appreciate a few more options on reporting, but we have used work-arounds. Most data can be downloaded into spreadsheets to manipulate.
Cons
I find the entering of new people cumbersome in the ways they have to be assigned to families.
