• You will have fun managing your church with this uniquely visual, intuitive, and modern interface including "Explorer" style screens.  You'll notice (and appreciate) the "fun-factor" that we've put into Church Helpmate... and you will find a refreshing balance of power, flexibility, and simplicity.  Packed with enough power for the "techie-types", yet simple and intuitive enough for computer novices. 

"As the administration pastor for my church, I am
thoroughly amazed at the capabilities of Church Helpmate.
Everyone on my team that has touched this
program has, without exception, smiled in delight with its
user friendliness and functionality.  Thank you so much for
producing such a valuable tool for our ministry!"
Dennis Pollard - Windsor, CA

• Our "usage-based" pricing structure will enable your financial investment in this powerful management system to more closely match your organization’s financial capabilities.  There are 4 different licensing/pricing levels available - and your license level can easily be upgraded as your church grows.  Smaller churches (those with less than 100 families) receive more than a 75% discount off standard pricing!  Plus, all license/pricing levels include full multi-user/network usage on as many computers as desired (includes personal/home computers!).  There are absolutely no extra fees involved!  You could spend thousands of dollars on costly & complex software "solutions" and services - or, like our Church Helpmate clients, you could choose to use your money (and time) on more important things.

“Thank you for taking the time to provide such a quality church-based
database product at a reasonable price.   Small churches such as ours
do not have the resources to hire consultants or take the time necessary
to customize off-the-shelf software to meet our church needs. Your product
gave us a turnkey solution that allowed us to concentrate our efforts on
ministry rather than administration. Thanks!”
James Creighton - Putnam Valley, NY

• Your users will have full 24x7 read/write access to your organization's data with Church Helpmate's "Replication" feature.   This allows users to run Church Helpmate independently of one another on disconnected (non-networked) computers.  They can each be adding, modifying, and deleting data in any portion of the database.  For example, one person could be working on Church Helpmate at the church office, another at their home computer, another at the beach on their notebook computer.  Then, at any point desired, these data files can be merged (or synchronized) into a single data file.  After this merge, all changes to the database are seen by each user.     

• Effortlessly communicate with your congregation with a single click of a button, using Church Helpmate's simple-to-use Bulk Email capabilities.  You have the option of including each person's greeting at the top of each email so that it is personalized just for them - and you can fully format your email and add graphics if you like (supports full HTML formatting). 
  
  You will be able to quickly send an email out to everyone in your database - or, more likely, you'll have the option of being very specific about the target (such as members of the Choir, married individuals in their 30's, all first-time visitors for last Sunday, contributors who gave over a certain amount last year, and so on).  Church Helpmate includes a complete built-in email system - so you don't need any special additional email software installed on your computer.

• Easily create personalized form letters with style and simplicity with Church Helpmate's built-in "Rich Text Format" Form Letter generator.  You will have all of the common text and format layout capabilities of a full word processing program like MS Word - right from within the Church Helpmate program.  

• The Church Helpmate system utilizes an open "back-end" MS Access® data file which can be "linked" to from any MS Access® database and other products such as Crystal Reports which can read an Access database file.  This provides extremely powerful "outside the box" querying and reporting options when custom requirements must be met.  Now, most of our clients find that querying and reporting options built into the Church Helpmate product fully meet their needs.  However, it's certainly nice to know that you can extend these capabilities with MS Access if and when necessary.

"Its main advantage, in my opinion, is that it is MS Access based and
we can use Access to link up to the data and generate custom queries
and reports if needed."
Jane Montgomery - Ontario, Canada

"I was very pleased when I found Church Helpmate which uses MS Access
as its backbone database.  Not only has Church Helpmate exceeded all
my expectations, it has allowed me to further enhance our usage by allowing
me to build custom reports and custom interfaces using MS Access.
I truly love this product!"

• Church Helpmate's built-in "User Level" security system allows you to easily setup complex security permission scenarios by enabling you to control the exact permission levels of each user for each section (module) of the program.  For example, "Susan" needs full read/write/delete access to contribution records, but she should have no access at all to connection records - "Joe" needs to be blocked out of the contribution sections completely, but he needs full access to connections - meanwhile "Terry" needs to be able to see (read) contributions and connections, but he shouldn't be able to modify or delete them. 

• With Church Helpmate's unique Internet mapping capabilities you will have a powerful demographics tool - allowing you to visualize the addresses in your database as "pushpins" on a map.  This is a great tool for visualizing the locations of your members, contributors, visitors, etc. 

customer quote
"The map feature is very useful.  We have volunteers who drive to
people’s homes for numerous reasons, and we are able to print out
directions.  We used to write out directions, and invariably we would
forget something necessary to find the home."

• With Church Helpmate's powerful Custom Filter Builder, you will be able to define and store very specific "subsets" of your database.  For example, you could create and save a custom filter named "Members & Regulars, Male, Guardian, Married" which would return (or include) all married male individuals who have a membership Status of "Member" or "Regular".  Then, when you are creating outputs such as reports, labels, envelopes, bulk emails, form letters, etc., you could apply this custom filter so that the output only includes those records meeting the filter criteria.  Your custom filters can be as simple or as complex as necessary to define the exact subset you need to target.
