"The Best Church Management Software That Doesn't Cost A Fortune"

5/5

What do you like best about Breeze ChMS?

Breeze is by far one of the most useful church management tools a church can have! You can store information on members and attenders, get useful church metrics, send out church texts/emails, create forms that sync with church member profiles, accept online giving, categorize people into groups, and even offer child check in! Breeze does pretty much all of what the big ChMS softwares do, but at a much lower price. $50/month is practically unbeatable especially for all the tools that it offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breeze ChMS?

The only downside is that child check-in is only compatible with windows and apple devices if you want to print nametags. Only two kinds of printers are compatible as well. However, they have beneficial resources and lay out what materials you need to print out name tags. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Breeze ChMS:

If you're even considering using church management software, definitely give breeze a try. It will take your church planning and administration to the next level. Sometimes cost is a hindrance for churches considering church management software. $50/month is totally affordable, and Breeze delivers way more than $50 worth of tools. It is 100% worth the investment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Breeze ChMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

1. Breeze works best, first and foremost, as a church database. You can add members, create family groups, enter information such as when they joined the church, their date of baptism, what classes they belong to, etc.

2. It is also a fantastic communication tool. You can send out church texts/emails to the entire database, or to specific groups as needed.

3. Information gathering is another great resource. You can send out registration forms, signups, polls, etc. and when a person fills it out, you can link it to their profile in the database or create a brand new profile from the form.

4. Child check-in is a game-changer, especially for security in your children's ministry. Every kid can be checked in, given a name tag, and a pickup tag is given to each parent with a code and their children's names on it.

5. Volunteer management is a huge benefit as well. You can assign people to certain roles, or you can allow them to pick roles from a list. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Church Management Support that does exactly what it should."

5/5

What do you like best about Breeze ChMS?

All of our member tracking, donation tracking, and event management is in one place. This has helped us become more organized and present better options for online services in our church. We love that donation tracking is so easy, and we can keep a tight watch over who can access different items on the site. The flat $50 per month is the big reason we went with a cloud-based program this time. We wouldn't have made the switch if the pricing were more complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breeze ChMS?

There are some minor inconveniences, but the staff at Breeze CHMS has been quick to respond to requests. I expect that updates will address the issues at some point. I want a few more simple reporting options, like a detailed one-page monthly calendar and settings to view the month/day of a birthday without the year. No big deal, we can work around it without too much trouble. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Breeze ChMS:

I recommend Breeze to all of my colleagues in church management. I work as an office manager full time in our church and also have a Masters in Theology, so think about things from a pastoral perspective. We wanted something easy for an aging population to use but also providing all of the features that we want in modern church interactions. Breeze fit the bill. It has been great. It takes a little time to learn some of the components of the system, but I feel like my time is always rewarded because there is such good training and explanation for how it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Breeze ChMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Online giving is up, members are able to get in touch with each other easy, tracking attendance and form registrations with touchless options during Covid-19 has been fantastic. Being able to register people for events and use of facilities without having any exchange of physical paperwork is fantastic. I feel like I am learning new ways to use Breeze CHMS features whenever we come up with a new idea for how to serve our congregation. So far, no complaints. Which is unheard of!

"Breeze is a great fit for our church!"

5/5

What do you like best about Breeze ChMS?

Breeze is an easy platform to use and navigate. It is flexible and easy to customize but powerful in its ability to organize and manage our church database, calendar, giving & more! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breeze ChMS?

It would be helpful if there were more available and easier-to-use templates to use with emails. Also, I would like to have a master set of roles for volunteers and confirmation emails and not have to copy and paste and recreate every summer when our worship time changes from the school year to the summer schedule. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Breeze ChMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We manage our calendar in Breeze, which uploads to our website in real-time. We also track our volunteers for Sunday services who get automatic email reminders which have almost eliminated scheduling conflicts. Breeze is very affordable for our small church, and offering online giving through Breeze has quickly paid for itself. Tracking contributions with Breeze is fast, and it is easy to print weekly giving reports and end-of-year tax statements. The secure Breeze online giving portal is a great way to set up recurring giving and is easy to update. We also love using the forms to register for church events.

"Best church software, hands down!"

5/5

What do you like best about Breeze ChMS?

Breeze is an intuitive, easy to lean, cloud-based database and contribution tracking tool. With the functionality to create accounts with different levels of access, staff and volunteers are able to access what is necessary for their work without having blanket access. I have been singing Breeze's praises to all my colleagues, and promoting it everywhere I can. It was a world's better (and less expensive!) option than our former database, and because it was designed with small churches in mind, it is perfect for our needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breeze ChMS?

Nothing! I haven't found anything that I dislike, and when I run into a problem, the online help pages and customer support are phenomenal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Breeze ChMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

Breeze is accessible from a website, and is not based in a single computer/database. Since COVID, I am even happier that we have Breeze, since it has made working from home much easier. I am still able to do all my work within the system. I'm also able to use the Volunteer Management features, which we didn't have with our previous system, and they work so well! Love the automatic reminder. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easiest membership tracker"

5/5

What do you like best about Breeze ChMS?

My favorite part of Breeze is ease of use. We can customize fields to meet our needs, and if we find a new way to organize information, it's easy to move things around without losing anyone's info.

Our secretary's favorite part is that attendance tracking went from taking over an hour to only taking a few minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breeze ChMS?

One of our major needs is to be able to track family records through breeze - and create a genealogy of sorts - which is not a function that Breeze technically has. HOWEVER, with the ability to customize fields, we were able to add any and all family records we needed to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Breeze ChMS:

Look through their demo and try things out. It's so easy to run and you will not find anything better for the price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Breeze ChMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have updated all of our records! We can keep them updated easily!

With covid19, we've had to switch to online VBS and Sunday school, and the Forms application in Breeze makes registering for events a... cinch. Along with that, the system will auto-tag anyone who registers for events so that I can send emails to specific groups that register. So. Easy!

Additionally, our financial secretary has no problem logging contributions. Switching from our old system to Breeze has saved her at least 10 hours a week - if not, then more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"This is a great, time saving, easy to use church management program."

5/5

What do you like best about Breeze ChMS?

The most helpful thing about Breeze is the ease of using and learning the program. It is a very intuitive program and this makes it easy for me to figure out how to perform tasks. The ease of using the program means I don't have to look up in manual how to perform a task or run a report. If the information is in the data base, I can run a report to get the exact information that I need.

It is really a benefit for the pastoral staff to be able to make notes on members so everyone is up-to-date with member issues. It makes it easy for them to follow-up with a member who has a problems and then they can notate immediately afterwards what occurred. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breeze ChMS?

I have found nothing that is not helpful about Breeze. I have been using the program for a short period of time and have seen no downside to using the Breeze Church Management program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Breeze ChMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

I can easily access the information in my database. Previously I had to look in multiple locations to find all of the information on one member. Now I go to Breeze and can look everything up in one location. This is a huge timesaver for me. It also makes it easier to track member information.

We are also going to be using the barcode scanner option to create an easier and more fluid check-in for worship services and for other events, which again is a timesaver for me because I won't have to manually input the information.

We will also be using the event sign-up and check-in portion for events held at the church. This way we will have an accurate count of how many people we will have attending and then be able to see how many actually came for the event. This will really benefit our Director of Family ministries who runs many events at our church, including VBS.

The ability to run name tags is fabulous. Previously people filled out their own name tag, and it was sometimes hard to read. Now we can print them and will be able to know people's names.

The use of the check-in process will allow us to have accurate contact tracking information should an attendee be diagnosed with Covid-19.

The program has made things so much easier for me as the administrative assistant that I have been able to take on additional responsibilities because I have more free time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Breeze as a Donor Database is a BREEZE!"

5/5

What do you like best about Breeze ChMS?

Breeze is a fully functional donor management database at a cost that does not break your organization. Breeze support is timely and very well done by pastors and other leaders. The Facebook page for Breeze is a great place to also learn from other users with answers coming from a variety of users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breeze ChMS?

Breeze is NOT a full marketing site with building of webpages and other marketing tools but at this cost, you can find those specific services elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great App and Very User Friendly!"

5/5

What do you like best about Breeze ChMS?

Breeze is cloud-based, so I can access our database anywhere I can access the Internet. The fee structure is quite modest for a cloud-based database. It is very user friendly. Our church staff has learned to navigate and use Breeze with little trouble. Between tutorials, knowledge base articles and Breeze staff, migrating from our past local database was literally a breeze! We are a 400 attendance church, and Breeze easily meets our database needs, with flying colors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Breeze ChMS?

We have found no downsides. Breeze just works! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Breeze ChMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problem with the old database is that there was no technical support unless you paid steeply for it. So the benefit of greatest value to me is the wonderful technical support that Breeze offers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Church Management That Serves The Church!"

5/5

What do you like best about Breeze ChMS?

The online giving platform is not fully developed and is missing some features, especially for Canadian customers. I also think their forms can be a bit awkward to work with and very limited. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Excellent practical features at an affordable price. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Breeze ChMS solving and how is that benefiting you?

The problems we solved with Breeze is to provide records of families, including their weekly attendance, giving records, and participation in other programs and classes. One of the key benefits is the ability to tag people. This is excellent! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
