ChurchRaise
What it is
ChurchRaise is a web-based church management platform from Faith Systems for people, giving, communications, events, and ministry administration. Its tools include household records, online giving, bulletins, events, groups, forms, reports, a website builder, and service planning. Child check-in, volunteer scheduling, and SMS messaging are also listed, although there is no mobile app. Nine AI assistants can help draft newsletters, plan sermons, and generate graphics; AI is optional for core use. Accounts start with 1,000 free Ministry Credits, with additional credits available at cost. The Free Platform plan has no monthly platform fee, unlimited people, and no feature gates. Churches can import people, households, groups, and giving history through CSV templates with guided setup. Integrations include Zapier, Slack, Vanco, QuickBooks, Stripe, Square, Google, Outlook, and MinistrySafe. The maker says churches receive 100% of donations, while optional donor tips or a service fee cover online payment processing and standard Stripe fees apply.
