Church Community Builder Review

PROS: The member and event tracking capabilities of CCB are the best features for me. They are very helpful in organizing events and in taking attendance. Other modules are also very comprehensive and intuitive.

CONS: The mail merge function is very limited and it requires a bit of coding to make them easy on the eyes. It would be nice if CCB can upgrade this to make it more like Mail Chimp.

PROS: The user-friendly interface of CCB is the best feature it has because it allows us to complete our tasks without much difficulty. I also like that it centralizes church and member data so we can manage everything from a single window from member profiles to giving options. It is also nice to see that CCB is always improving and that they incorporate user feedback in their updates.

CONS: The process queue feature is not the best and some members of our church find it difficult to use.

PROS: I find CCB to be an intuitive application that lets us connect with our volunteers without breaking a sweat. It has even enabled us to manage our data better.

CONS: The information exported to an Excel file is formatted differently and it is difficult for us to understand it. So we have to format it again in a way that is suitable for us.

PROS: The financial module of CCB is incredibly full-featured. Apart from that, its contacts grouping capability is helpful in creating separate rooms for people involved in different activities.

CONS: CCB is limited in its functionalities so they have to upgrade the system.

PROS: CCB has a wonderful interface that makes it easy for anyone to work with it. Since most of our members use it for check-ins or registering for church activities, we only have to explain the steps to them once they are already familiar with it.

CONS: Introducing a new volunteer to the system can be difficult because there are so many things to become familiar with. Fortunately, CCB has a reliable support team so our volunteers can get the hang of things after a while.

PROS: I like how we can connect CCB with other solutions like Constant Contact easily. The digital contact book is also a dream coz it lets us find people fast.

CONS: CCB is not as intuitive as I wish it to be and it can be clunky in some aspects.

PROS: Church Community Builder is rich with features that make our church organization tasks easier. Using it, we can track anything from contacts to tasks. It even helps us generate forms and count our donations.

CONS: Because it is a robust software, it can be difficult for new users to get around it. Even though I am not a power user, I already have extensive uses for the application.

PROS: I enjoy different modules of CCB but the one I like the most is the process building feature because it lets me track the movements of the church members to determine whether they are integrating with the community.

CONS: The availabilities of our staff and volunteers can be challenging to figure out.

PROS: CCB is always listening to their users and you can see this in the features and modifications they roll out. It's not just about the function, too, they also take care to implement design suggestions that work. On top of it all, they are always working to make the solution mobile-friendly.

CONS: They are working on upgrading every aspect of the software but they are doing it slowly. So some parts are up-to-date and the others are old and slow.

PROS: Because of the communication tools, our congregation is much closer since everyone is connected. Finding their contact information is easy as well since we only have to type a portion of their name and the search results include them. What's more, it has a member-facing portal that lets members manage their information, contributions, and access the public calendar for activities.

CONS: It is challenging to navigate CCB, especially at the start. One wrong configuration and everything falls apart. Fortunately, their customer service is understanding and helpful so we can fix issues immediately.

PROS: CCB is a multi-functional church management tool with a user-friendly interface that allows everyone to familiarize themselves with it in a breeze. One other thing I like about this software is its ability to display the church's performance in reports.

CONS: It can be difficult to maximize CCB because of its steep learning curve. Plus, customer service is not as excellent as I thought because they are slow to respond to issues. On top of everything else, the mobile application is not very responsive.

PROS: CCB is a wonderful application that lets us send invitations to members of the congregation to join activities. It also helps us keep a record of all members and guests. It is not just their contact information--the software also lets us track whether they are part of groups, are baptized, and more.

CONS: CCB requires technical knowledge to be maximized. It is difficult to find some tools and there are times when we have to study for a while its capabilities before we can use them.

PROS: What I like best about Church Community Builder is its innovativeness. There is always something new in every update. In fact, there were huge improvements in the user-friendliness of particular modules that has enabled members of our church, regardless of their age, to use the app without problems. You can see from the updates that this solution is going in the right direction, technologically wise. On top of that, the software has an excellent customer support team that you can count on anytime.

CONS: Some updates were slow to roll out so we had to be creative in working around them. However, once the updates were finished, we went back to working normally so it is not much of a problem.

PROS: Managing volunteers is a breeze using this software. I can group them according to custom categories, send group communications to them, and view their availabilities as well as upcoming events on one calendar.

CONS: The software can be slow compared to other applications but, aside from that, there are no problems.

PROS: There are many options available for customizing the calendar, the schedules, the financial aspect of the church, giving, volunteer management, online forms, and many others.

CONS: Church Community Builder can be overwhelming with its plentiful modules and features.

PROS: I like how the Church Community Builder team is always releasing updates that make the software rich in functions. I also enjoy how easy it is to generate reports and perform administrative tasks using this application.

CONS: There are many rooms for improvement when it comes to the metrics, the availability of private notes, and others.

PROS: I am a church leader so I need to be connected to my staff, volunteers, and church members. The software's mobile app has helped me do that even when I am not in the church office.

CONS: I cannot create an event for the congregation using the app though I know I can invite the church members to large gatherings using the infomail feature.
