Chose TouchPoint Software
We moved from Shelby to Touchpoint 5 years ago. Although Shelby has moved on to the web, it has been a more recent development
after a 40 year history as a server based product. We wanted to go with a web-based option that started on the web.

Ministry Brands
The three modules we use are well integrated and work together well. The membership module does not communicate with the financial modules if I recall correctly.

For our church size (1000 weekly attendees), Touchpoint has been a great option for us. We moved from a legacy server based system to Touchpoint which has brought a much needed transition to a web-based product with all its advantages. The various features that stand out in our use of Touchpoint includes: good child-care check-in process, the integration of volunteer background checks with third party vendors, increasing integration with accounting packages like Sage Intacct, strong contributions module with flexibility on selecting various providers for the front end, generally intuitive ease of use combined with good flexibility to tailor to our needs.
