ChurchTools ❤️ Church Planting

Set the stage for healthy growth from day one

Plant a church and use ChurchTools for the 1st year free of any charge

Did you know that rockets use 80% of their fuel in the first few minutes—just to break through the atmosphere? We believe, it’s the same with church plants: in the beginning, it takes an enormous amount of energy, careful preparation, and clear structures.

We want to support you in focusing your strength where it matters most. With ChurchTools, you establish a solid framework from the very beginning for everything related to organization, data protection, public relations, communication, accounting, administration, and more.

How we help church plants launch 🚀

We understand that every euro counts, especially during the start-up phase. That’s why ChurchTools is completely free for the first year, and the full fee for the corresponding license package is not required until the fifth year.

Off to a strong start

ChurchTools exists because churches exist. That’s why we go all in: your church gets the full ChurchTools package — no restrictions. 🤯 Every module, even Finances and Website, is included to support you in every aspect of planting your church.

Solid infrastructure

With the People and Groups modules, you can keep all your contacts in one central GDPR-compliant system, while organizing teams and groups — creating a foundation for meaningful care and healthy growth.

FAQ

How do I claim the church planting discount?

First, create a test installation and then contact support. Please send directly a proof of the church planting. This can for example be a copy of the foundation papers or a letter from the church federation. It is important that a founding date is given.

We started up last year. Do we still get the discount?

Yes. Feel free to contact support with a proof. The discount depends on the date of foundation. That means if the church was formed last year, then you are already in the 2nd year and you start with a 75% discount.
