Built inside a South African church

Church management software, built for South Africa.

Church Flow is priced in rand, gifts go through your church's own payment account, and your team answers WhatsApp in one shared inbox. Under POPIA, your congregation's records stay your church's.

The five modules on every plan: People, Events & Check-in, Pipelines & Follow-up, Giving, and Communications & Web.

No VAT is added: Church Flow isn't VAT-registered. Three things can cost more. An app add-on costs half your plan's price or more. Short links come with Growing (up to 300 people) and up, and your own web address with Thriving (up to 750) and up. Messages and gifts carry your providers' own charges.

Giving

Giving that settles to your church.

Online giving runs through your church's own payment account, with Paystack, Payfast or Peach Payments. Donations settle directly to your bank account and Church Flow never holds your money. We add no platform fee on donations; you pay only your payment provider's standard rates.

01

Your own merchant account

Connect your church's own payment account once. Every gift lands under your church's name, on your church's statement.
02

Statements and pledges

Year-end statements, pledge campaigns, payouts and batch counting live in the same system as your people, in rand.
03

Counting Sundays too

Cash and card-machine offerings are counted in batches with a clean audit trail, so the books agree at month-end.
04

No percentage taken

Church Flow adds no platform fee on donations, and your plan's price doesn't change with what your church gives.
Communications

WhatsApp is a channel, not a link.

Church Flow runs a shared WhatsApp inbox for your whole team: one thread per person, templates for the messages you send every week, opt-outs honoured automatically, and mass messages that follow WhatsApp's rules. See how the WhatsApp inbox works.

Reliability

Built for South African Sundays.

Load-shedding is a planning fact here. Church Flow assumes the power and the wifi will not always be there, and keeps Sunday moving anyway.

01

Your records live off-site

Your church's records sit on servers, not on a computer in the church office, so a power cut at the building leaves them untouched.
02

The same codes at every desk

Rooms, capacity and security codes come from one place, so every check-in desk works from the same ones. When the venue's wifi goes down, check-in keeps running on mobile data; with no connection at all, it pauses until one returns, rather than one tablet guessing.
03

Labels have a plan B

If the label printer is unreachable, kids' security labels can be emailed as a PDF instead, so pickup security does not depend on one cable.
04

Runs on phone data

The staff portal is mobile-first and works in any phone browser, so a venue with no wifi still runs check-in, people lookups and giving from a phone.
Data care

Your people's data stays your church's.

Under POPIA, your church remains the responsible party for its congregation's personal information, and Church Flow acts as an operator: we process it on your instructions, to provide the service, and for nothing else. It is encrypted in transit and at rest, kept separate from every other church's, and administrative actions are audit-logged. You can export it at any time. More on how we treat your data.

Pricing

Priced in rand by your church's size

Every ministry module on every plan, priced by how many people attend on an average Sunday. No VAT is added: Church Flow isn't VAT-registered. See your church's price, and what each extra costs, on the pricing page.
Switching

Bring your people with you

Every plan includes the import. Some church software connects directly, and Church Flow pulls your records across. Other records come in as a file: an export, a spreadsheet or your phone's contacts. See which systems connect directly.
