Best Church Management System, Singapore
Sojourner is a comprehensive and robust church management system designed to help churches by simplifying and streamlining complex ministry and day-to-day operations.
Sojourner is a comprehensive and robust church management platform which consolidates all member, visitor and event details. Through an integrated set of features, Sojourner empowers church leaders with information like who is involved in which ministries, learning history of members, attendance statistics, booking details, visitor status and more. It helps administrators to organise people into hierarchy of ministries, groups and services, as well as manage resources and events. Members can pretty much perform most activities through self-service. It is designed to be used anytime, anywhere and on any platform - PCs, tablets and smart phones.
Overall Sojourner allows the church to manage its membership and operations effortlessly, effectively and efficiently and serves as a reliable ‘corporate memory’ with the centralised repository of data it maintains.
