Faith Teams

Faith Teams is church management software for small and medium-sized churches, available on the web, Android, and iOS. Its people and families database holds contact information, membership status, notes, giving, communications, attendance, and involvement. Ministry tools cover attendance tracking, children’s check-in with printable name and pickup tags, volunteer scheduling, and service planning. Churches can offer giving through the app, text-to-give, an embedded website form, a kiosk, or custom signup forms. Paid subscriptions include email and 500 text messages per month; extra batches of 500 cost $10, and an unlimited texting option is available to apply for after using the system. A 10-day trial requires no credit card and provides the features except messaging; users can preview messaging but need a subscription to receive a Faith Teams phone number. The free account supports up to 100 active people, with online giving activation required within 30 days. Monthly plans start at $75 a month for up to 499 active people. Support is available by phone and email, and the team can help import data from another system for free.

Faith Teams brings member management, ministry planning, and giving options into one church system. Check the active-person limits and messaging terms against your church’s needs before choosing a plan.

Faith Teams suits churches seeking member records alongside attendance, giving, and volunteer tools. The free account may fit a church with up to 100 active people that can activate online giving within 30 days.

Overview

Faith Teams is web-based church management software aimed at small and medium-sized congregations. It is a strong fit for churches that want member records, ministry scheduling, attendance, giving, and communications in one account rather than stitching together specialist tools.

The breadth is persuasive, but the cost is tied to active people and the free account is capped. Churches should compare their active-person count and texting needs with the tiers before committing.

Key features

The people and families database stores contact details, membership status, notes, contributions, communications, attendance, and involvement. That combination gives staff one working record for pastoral administration and participation tracking. Faith Teams says there is no limit to people or users in an account, although paid prices still rise by active-person band.

Attendance tracking, group management, event registration, volunteer scheduling, and service planning cover the recurring work of organizing a congregation. Children’s check-in can print name and pickup tags, a useful operational feature for services where secure handoffs matter.

Giving is available through the vendor’s mobile app, text-to-give, an embedded website form, a kiosk, and custom signup forms. The variety suits congregations with members who prefer different donation channels. Communications include email and 500 text messages per month. Extra batches of 500 texts cost $10; an unlimited-texting option can be requested after using the system, so churches with heavy messaging should budget beyond the base subscription.

Integration with Checkr supports background checks for people in the church database. Faith Teams says account information is encrypted, protected, and backed up, and its terms say it does not retain sensitive representative or banking information used by its payment processor to verify online-giving accounts. Phone and email support, support documents, and tutorial videos are included; paid plans specify US-based phone and email support. The team also offers free help importing people and data from another system, which reduces migration work.

Pricing

A 10-day trial is fully functional except for messaging, requires no credit card, and lets users preview messaging without receiving a Faith Teams phone number until they subscribe. A free account costs $0.00 and supports up to 100 active people, but online giving must be activated within 30 days of signup. That makes it suitable for a very small congregation evaluating the system, not for an unrestricted free deployment.

The Monthly plan starts at $75.00 per month for up to 499 active people, then costs $95.00 for 500–1,499, $125.00 for 1,500–4,999, and $150.00 for 5,000 or more. Monthly billing is the straightforward choice when headcount or budget may change; the lower tiers give up the larger capacity of the same feature set.

Annual billing is $750.00 per year for up to 499 active people, $950.00 for 500–1,499, $1,250.00 for 1,500–4,999, and $1,500.00 for 5,000 or more. The three-year option is listed as $7,503.00 per year, billed over three years, with the same active-person prices shown and a free iPad offer indicated. Annual or three-year billing suits churches confident in their size and commitment; otherwise, renewal obligations and headcount changes make monthly billing less risky.

Platforms

Faith Teams runs on the web and offers Android and iOS access, including its mobile giving app.

Who it's for

This is best for small and midsized churches that need a shared database plus attendance, children’s check-in, volunteer and service planning, event registration, and giving. It is less compelling for a church seeking only donations or messaging, or for a congregation whose active-person count will push it quickly into higher tiers.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Broad church operations in one system, including family records, scheduling, check-in, events, and multiple giving channels.
• Pros: No stated database limit on people or users, with free migration assistance.
• Pros: A no-card trial and support through phone, email, documents, and videos.
• Cons: The free account stops at 100 active people and requires online-giving activation within 30 days.
• Cons: Only 500 texts per month are included; additional batches cost $10, and unlimited texting requires an application.
• Cons: Paid pricing increases across four active-person bands, making growth directly affect the bill.

Alternatives

For a wider comparison, see Church Management Software, Nonprofit Text-to-Give Software, Church Background Check Software, and Church Event Management Software.

ChMeetings is worth choosing when a freemium entry point with 50 people and 50 donations per month is enough. ChurchCMS suits churches wanting self-hosting, all six core modules, and no usage limits at $0 forever. ChurchPlan is an option for unlimited members and free online giving features. Planning Center fits churches that prefer separate free modules such as an unlimited People database or a one-room Calendar. Tithely Giving is the clearer choice when donation processing with no monthly fee is the priority. Asoriba offers a free tier for churches with 50 members or fewer. Elexio Community uses custom sales pricing. ParishSOFT is an alternative for churches seeking a paid giving-consulting engagement.

Verdict

Choose Faith Teams if your church wants one account covering member administration, ministry coordination, children’s check-in, giving, and communications, and its active-person tier fits the budget. Look elsewhere if you need a larger free allowance, consistently heavy texting without extra charges, or a narrowly focused giving or event tool.
