An open-source Planning Center alternative
Looking to replace Planning Center, Breeze, or another hosted church management system? Church4Christ is free, self-hosted church management software (ChMS) with a bilingual church website, so your people records, ministries, and public site share one database you control.
Everyday church management in one place
- People and households directory with CSV import and export
- Small groups with join requests and attendance
- Volunteer scheduling with email confirmations
- Children's check-in kiosk with pickup codes
- Newcomer follow-up, prayer care, and community workflows
- Church website with sermons, bulletins, events, and a page builder
- Multiple campuses with separate data and roles
- Service planning with timed run sheets, rehearsals, and availability
Switch gradually
An optional read-only Planning Center People sync links existing records so both systems can run side by side, and the CSV importer brings people across with reusable column mappings.
Not included yet
No native mobile app, SMS messaging, or song library with chord charts. Live online giving and paid registration need Supabase and Stripe; this demo only simulates payments. Church4Christ is source code your team hosts, not a managed service.
