What is Church Suite?

Church Suite is a cloud hosted, web-based church management system which is designed to help us administer our church and provide all elements of pastoral care to our members and the community. Our members may be provided with access to a user account, which they can use to provide us with information (including personal information), update preferences and access options to allow the booking of events and recording attendance. Church Suite should bring benefits to everyone as we can stay in touch with you much more easily and you can provide us with information in a quick and efficient way.
