    The City would work well for a church who struggles to provide an easy way for members to connect and join groups. While the app has some drawbacks, as noted above, it beats allowing visitors and members to remain disconnected and in the dark about ways to involve themselves in church activities. Better to have this kind of ability to connect than none at all.

    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.

    Alternatives Considered
    ACS Technologies
    While I haven't used another social networking app built for churches, I have used an app built by another local church. The City makes connecting with members easier. The user experience is severely lacking in The City app. It does, however, facilitate connections between members.

    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.

    • Touchpoint's value has been in the ability of staff and lay leaders to be able to connect with and manage others.
