Church Community Builder Overview
What is Church Community Builder?
Church Community Builder is a cloud-based church management software with a focus on increasing connection and communication between church members.
Church Community Builder offers a drag-and-drop form creation feature, allowing users to create forms for different purposes, including event registration, donation collection, member surveys, and more. There are multiple answer format options, such as radio buttons, checkboxes, drop-down menus, and scales and priority lists. Inbuilt automations can be used to add respondents to groups, positions, events, or process queues, and these can be further specified based on an individual’s response to questions on the form.
Church Community Builder’s dashboards reveal short-term and long-term trends in metrics such as attendance, volunteering, and donations. Shareable event summaries include attendance numbers, event topics, general notes, prayer requests, details of new visitors, and more. Users can create, share and save their own custom reports, or use those included with Church Community Builder.
Church Community Builder assists users with volunteer scheduling, with its drag-and-drop interface allowing users to copy volunteers between weeks, send requests for positions that need to be filled, email volunteers with opportunities, or directly place them into open positions. Users can view all volunteer and event schedules to see how frequently individuals are serving, and volunteers are automatically reminded of their commitments by Church Community Builder.
Church Community Builder includes a touchscreen-compatible check-in feature, with an iPad check-in app available, enabling users to view room rosters, track attendance in real time, print name badges and labels, use barcode scanners for check-in, and more. It also supports text message paging, allowing parents to be contacted quickly if there are any problems.

The Industry Standard for Web Based Church Administration
Church Community Builder allows me to keep track of everything that I need to keep track of in one place. It allows the church to empower each ministry to easily do the administration that's required.
CCB - Some Great Features... Still in Deveopment
While rolling into a new database can be a daunting task for anyone, CCB provided a great user interface that was still lacking in some major areas. While I do believe they are working on some new features, the rollout has been rather slow and caused us to look at other systems for different needs.
Keeps our Congregation Connected
I love using this app and all the features that it provides. We use it for churchwide and group calendars, serving opportunities, teams, kids check-in, and communications.
Church Community Builder
I use this software daily to track people, create groups, processes, process giving, etc. Overall, it serves our purposes well.

The Industry Standard for Web Based Church Administration
Pros
Church Community Builder is the leader and industry standard for web-based church administration. The software is intuitive and easy to use. I have implemented the software at two churches in which I have worked and helped others get the most out of their subscription.
What I like most about the software is that it is comprehensive. I've seen too many churches build separate and unconnected systems for children's check-in, group sign ups, payments for events and donor records. When these systems don't "speak" to one another, it creates more confusion and work for the church staff.
The goal of church administration is to remove the burden of administration away from the ministry team. They typically excel at being with people and doing the work of the ministry. However, many struggle with administration basics such as keeping track of groups, communication, attendance data, etc. Church community builder allows our staff to be "efficient with things, so we can be effective with people".
Everyone benefits from a centralized system - whether you log in daily or rarely. We always know where we can find the information we need. Saving time makes the churches dollars go farther.
Cons
The mobile computing revolution took place since CCB launches their 2.0 platform. Getting the software to work and interact well with mobile devices has been a slow process, but I'm happy to see the progress that's been made with the Lead App.
CCB - Some Great Features... Still in Deveopment
While rolling into a new database can be a daunting task for anyone, CCB provided a great user interface that was still lacking in some major areas. While I do believe they are working on some new features, the rollout has been rather slow and caused us to look at other systems for different needs.
Pros
I think the singular greatest benefit our organization has benefited from with CCB is the use of Process Queues. Process Queues have allowed us to have better traction and accountability when it comes to the follow up and connection with new guests who walk through our doors.
Cons
The groups feature is seriously lacking. Once issues we have experienced is consistently being told that their are great features that are still “being developed.” We have had to switch to a separate groups database just to ease the strain on our volunteer group leaders.

Keeps our Congregation Connected
I love using this app and all the features that it provides. We use it for churchwide and group calendars, serving opportunities, teams, kids check-in, and communications.
Pros
The groups function has been a lifesaver for us during the pandemic. It's allowed us to stay in contact with our congregation while we are meeting in smaller groups. The calendar feature allows our congregants to subscribe and see when they are serving and what events are happening easily.
Cons
At this time there is not congregant app. I know that with the merger with Pushpay that this is in the works.
Probably a great ChMS 10 years ago
Pros
CCB is a beefy, feature-rich software that allows you to do almost everything that you might want to, from an administrative perspective, for your church.
Cons
The main problem with this software is that while many updates are released, it feels like a software that has been piled up for a long time rather than thoughtfully integrated. As a result even the simplest tasks are often convoluted, taking triple the number of mouse clicks than they should.
Just one example: editing profiles is cumbersome, finding information about a person requires multiple clicks through their profile information, and adding people requires a process that is more than simply filling out a simple page (you have to create a person, then find that person again from the list, then click into their profile, click to edit their password, and click "send password reset email" in order for them to receive a welcome email).
Their sales page looks fantastic, and the software at least LOOKS good when you log in, but whenever you try to do something basic, while it's definitely possible, the whole time you're trying to do something you're left thinking "should it be this complicated"?
Probably our biggest disappointment is that congregational engagement, which was a huge sales point, is virtually nonexistent. Because people cannot find other people and communicate easily (because it is cumbersome) with other people, they never log in to use the software. Even our leaders with full permissions would rather copy/paste email addresses into their own email software and communicate via email (or text message) than use this as a communication tool.

I use this software daily to track people, create groups, processes, process giving, etc. Overall, it serves our purposes well.
Pros
The software is pretty user friendly in most aspects and does a lot. Really good system of processes to keep track of where people are and steps of membership. Robust giving platform.
Cons
I am a little underwhelmed by the calendar system, having come from EventU, especially where recurring events are concerned.
