What MinistryPlatform is

MinistryPlatform is a church management platform for keeping information about parishes, people, and operations in one customizable system. Churches, parishes, dioceses, and denominational offices can shape its fields, tables, and data structures, then adapt reports to their own needs. Reporting includes real-time ministry dashboards and more than 200 customizable reports. Administrators can set role permissions down to individual fields and restrict access to pages using filters. The platform supports OAuth providers and offers a REST API and Swagger for building integrations. Listed connections include Realm Accounting, Growth Method, Verified First, MinistrySafe, Twilio, SendGrid, and digital giving providers. Event payment processing is available through MP eGiving, GiveCentral, OnlineGiving, PushPay, and Vanco. Its PocketPlatform mobile app can present tailored content, giving, events, volunteer opportunities, group management, and engagement analytics under an organization's brand. MinistryPlatform also lists family profiles, event registration, child check-in, SMS messaging, volunteer scheduling, and import and export. It is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with an API platform. ACS Technologies was founded in 1978 and is headquartered in Florence, South Carolina. Pricing is available by request.
