Visit ChurchDesk

ChurchDesk is a church management platform that brings calendar, contacts, forms, website, finance and workflow administration into one system. It is designed to support the day-to-day digital work of a parish, including room and resource scheduling, rota management, contact records with consent tracking, event sign-ups, website publishing, invoicing, donations and cash book records. The platform also offers GDPR-related tools, including a cookies and analytics solution.

Core modules include Calendar, People, Forms, Website, Finance and Workflows, with permission-based access to sensitive information. Additional tools include ChurchDesk Studio, a drag-and-drop editor for newsletters and flyers, Multi-Parish for parish networks, additional websites, and a payment terminal. The platform is available on the web, with support provided by phone, chat and email, alongside unlimited training and a personal advisor.

ChurchDesk is aimed at churches and parish networks. Plans are billed annually and scale by the number of contacts and users, with time registration limits varying by plan. All plans include the platform modules, personal support and attendance tracking, while some features such as booking enquiries, anniversaries and payment terminals are limited to higher tiers. Add-ons include Studio, Cookies & Analytics, Multi-Parish and additional websites. A one-time setup and training fee applies per parish, and services such as website transfer, web accessibility and implementation are available separately.
