What OttoChurch is

OttoChurch is a church management platform for coordinating giving, member information, facilities, children’s check-ins, events, volunteers, and recreation leagues. Its mobile-first approach is designed to let church staff manage ministry from Android, iOS, or the web. Churches can use OttoPay to receive donations and arrange recurring giving, while quick check-ins support children’s ministry and youth groups on any device. Email, text, and app notifications provide ways to communicate with members, volunteers, participants, and families.

For events, OttoChurch covers registration, scheduling, ticketing, and volunteer coordination; facility tools support room and facility reservations. Recreation league features bring together registrations, rosters, schedules, payments, and communication with families. The church solution is intended for staff and leaders as well as members and families. The Community Funded plan includes all platform features and unlimited administrator, staff, resident, and participant accounts, with a checkout convenience fee. The Organization Funded plan has a tailored platform fee based on transaction volume and flat card processing of 2.9% + 29¢. Online card processing is also described as PCI-compliant. Funds are reconciled and deposited to the organization’s designated bank account on a rolling basis, with financial reports.
