Church Flow is a church management platform that combines people records, visitor follow-up, children’s check-in, giving, and communications. Person records can hold family and group links, attendance, giving, prayer, and follow-up details. Check-in supports self-serve kiosks, children’s security tags, badge printing, and live headcounts. A shared inbox places WhatsApp, SMS, and email conversations in one thread per person. Churches connect their own messaging and payment-provider accounts, and those providers charge separately; donations settle directly through the church’s payment account. Plans are based on average weekly attendance, with database capacity for six times the attendance band under fair use. Pricing starts at 79 ZAR per month, with a 30-day trial and no free plan. CSV imports from Planning Center, ChurchTrac, Excel, and Google Sheets are available on every plan. Android, iOS, web, and a phone-browser staff portal are supported. Data is hosted in South Africa; Church Flow says it has no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification.
