My favorite part is the ease in which we can send our annual giving letters. It used to take hours to generate letters manually, but now it takes just a few minutes.
I wish there was a feature to show previous year giving alongside current year giving. That would be an amazing tool we would use.
It allows us to easily and quickly communicate with our members.
The software is great, but the people make it. Todd Shields was a breath of fresh air when reviewing OneChurch. I'm buying because of him. An all-in-one solution. One price for all the things we need rather than "nickel and diming" that our previous solution became.
It would have been nice if it included a website builder like some other solutions. But that is generally offered with hosting platforms anyway. The pros far outweighed this slight negative.
It's taking many solutions and putting them into one. Church accounting was the primary concern, but it also included a text-to-give (previously paid extra for that), text and email communications to contacts (previously charged for that), easily generates giving reports, and provides some things that we didn't even think about using.
Our church of 300+ members established a relationship with OneChurch in February 2020. At that time, the software design, ease of use and, most significantly, the willingness of the principals of the company to help us get up and running got us “hooked”. After one conversation about transferring our data from an existing cloud-based application owned, developed and managed by a talented and very successful church tech professional, we signed on to their solid design and commitment to our success as end-users.
OneChurch tools have served us well during the pandemic to build consistently dependable strategies for communication and management of donations and pledges. Now, on the “other side” and back to hybrid worship and meetings, we are working smarter to use more OneChurch connection and involvement features. Perhaps we may even switch to cloud-based accounting.
We enjoy how the design of OneChurch supports our mission to build a supportive, inclusive community that can use technology tools to worship, grow, learn and work for justice.
There were some missing features in OneChurch that church leaders wished for during our first “pledge season.” However, the staff remembered our requests and these features were built into doable queries for subsequent pledge seasons.
I love finding software features that should work but fail to come through for me. In EVERY instance, the OneChurch tech support members have worked to understand what I was attempting to do, then quickly helped me get the data I needed, showed me a better way to use the software or fixed a minor bug.

Easy to use, understand, and support is great
It's still relatively new, which makes it a good software company because they are open to updates that will help its clients.
Processing guests through automation. It helps us to stay on target to reach out to our guests to find out if they are plugging into the church or have other needs.
Our team loves that One Church Software is ONE software program that handles most of our needs in management. We also love the fact that the One Church Software development team continues to add to their program and have allowed us to offer input on areas of development that we felt would better benefit our uses. OCS is easy to connect with, easy to work with, and VERY responsive to our needs and requests. Their system is reliable, stable, consistent, and easy to use - once you get past the initial learning curve.
Our dislikes happen to be areas that they are presently working to improve. We have two "hot" areas that we have communicated with the OCS team about and have been told that those areas are in development. One of those is that we would like an interactive "prayer wall" for prayer requests and responses to prayer requests. Our second request has been the ability for "groups" to have the ability to use push notifications within their groups and not have to push a notification to the whole church for just a group need.
Communications through push notifications and the ability to more easily facilitate prayer requests and make the interactions with prayer requests live.
OneChurch has an incredible interface with great capacity to grow with a large congregation. It also has a very user-friendly interface. Their customer service is very responsive
I would like for their personalized app option to have more features. Also, texting members of the congregation could have more features.
We are able to connect members, make small groups, track, attendance, and even organize finances. It is really a one stop shop for us. We are able to use forms and visitor cards all electronic through OneChurch.
One Church Software carries many features, including breaking down reports (people and contributions), replying to text messages via email and customizing a mobile app. The customer support is also quick, friendly and helpful.
One Church Software sometimes has bugs- BUT customer service always comes to the rescue.
One Church Software is always adding more features- and regularly takes requests for improvements.
Transitioning from our previous system was incredibly easy. Had to move quickly, and the OC team was so helpful. Always engaging and ready to assist.
Would have liked if there was some more pre-fabbed onboarding materials. Team had to make those all from scratch. So that would have been nice.
Centralizes most of our Church management processes: payments, calendar, volunteering, communication, engagement, constituent care
I love that OCS is user-friendly and intuitive by design. The best features are its automation capabilities for follow-up and assimilation. The query and report builders are structured so that even a non-tech-savvy person like myself can use them with ease.
The Service planning feature still needs some love: simple features like "template services" are still missing, so when planning a new service, one must copy a previous service individually. But the rest of the service planning features are so great that this inconvenience is easily overlooked.
First, OCS keeps our member and guest records in order. Second, through its automation features for communication, we can reach out to more people quickly for guest retention and member follow-up. Third, all of our events are organized through this system, from calendaring to service planning. Having this one-stop shop helps our church be organized and keeps all of our ministries connected.

One stop shop....like everything! No need to have several integrations or find other solutions. Thorough, customer service top notch, and all we need.
The "look" is not "beautiful." And we can't text message inside groups yet...we love everything else.
Solving a way to post prayer requests to a prayer wall. They are looking into messaging within a prayer group.
