B1 Admin

What B1 Admin is

B1 Admin is a free, browser-based dashboard for church operations, including member records, attendance, donations, website building and live streaming. Its tools cover people and households, groups, volunteer plans, forms, reports, sermons, calendars and permissions. Churches can create website pages, customize their appearance, manage media and publish event calendars without code. Giving features include donation batches, funds, year-end statements, Stripe imports and online giving through Stripe and PayPal. Listed integrations include Slack, Discord, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, a REST API and webhooks. The developer guide documents running the app locally with a configurable API target. Church settings include up to 100 MB of free hosted file storage, and external storage options include Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and S3-compatible buckets. The privacy policy describes HTTPS encryption in transit, firewall-protected database servers and one-way password hashing, and says ChurchApps does not store payment card or bank details. Platform data is hosted on AWS in the United States, in the us-east-2 region. The maker says every feature is free for every church, with no subscriptions or premium tiers.
