Billing

Questions about pricing, payments, and your Faith Teams account.

  • Why is the price so low compared to other companies?

    Good Question. Our price IS low : ).  The reason is simple: Our main objective ISN’T just commercial. Our team is made up of Church Leaders and we love helping churches and serving other church leaders.


    To be clear, we’re not a non-profit company. We do want to make a profit. We just don’t have that as our only priority.


    But don’t let the low price fool you. Just because it’s inexpensive doesn’t mean it’s cheap. In fact, we believe Faith Teams is the best option on the market for most churches. Faith Teams is a powerful church software program packed with all the features you need.

  • Can we cancel if we don’t like it?

    With our Free Trial , you can try the entire system for 10 days. This gives you the opportunity to see it for yourself and connect with our team to talk through any questions you have.


    Once you subscribe, if you don’t love it, we don’t WANT you to keep it. The more people we serve, the bigger our servers have to be, which costs us more money in overhead. We only want Happy Users. If you aren’t happy, you can cancel at any time and we’ll never charge you another single penny.

Features

Learn about what Faith Teams can do for your church.

  • What is Faith Teams?

    Faith Teams is a web-based church management software designed primarily for small and medium-sized churches. We help churches keep track of People, Attendance, Follow-up, Groups, Volunteers, Service Planning, Contributions, Online Giving, Text-to-Give, Custom Forms and a whole lot more for a fraction of the price you’d expect to pay. Many churches are using 2-3 different software programs to get these things, but we offer it all in one single platform. To see a full list of the features we offer, click HERE

  • What is Community?

    Community is a web experience (designed for computers and mobile phones) located at your own Faith Teams location.  From a Community site (via the web or the Faith Teams Community mobile app), congregants can:

    • See a church’s calendar’s public events
    • Find and join available groups
    • Give and manage giving to a church
    • And for guests, interact with a welcome form to introduce themselves to church leaders
  • Is Emailing and Texting included in the subscription, or is that an extra cost?

    Emailing and Texting are included in the subscription cost. Each account 500 text messages per month. This is typically plenty for most churches, but if you need more, you can add 500 more for only $10. We also offer an “Unlimited Texting” option, which you will be able to apply for once you have spent some time in the system. If you want to see more details about church texting and emailing, click here.

  • What phone number do text messages come from when we send them?

    Once you subscribe, we give you a unique phone number (at no extra cost) that your church will use to send and receive text messages. Once you get into your account, you’ll be able to choose your phone number from a list. When people reply to your text blasts, you’ll be able to see those replies within your Faith Teams account.

  • Can we schedule all our volunteer teams like Planning Center?

    Yes, you can setup all your volunteer teams and schedule volunteers. Our screen designs make it really easy for your leaders to schedule their teams and send out reminders.

  • Can we do Child Check-in and print security labels?

    Yes, you can easily check-in attendance to any of your services, classes or events. You can print name tags for children and pick-up tags for parents.

  • How does the Automated Guest Follow-Up work?

  • How fast do we get access to our account after we sign-up?

    Once you sign-up, we’ll send an email immediately with your account information so you can get started right away.

  • What are the first steps to getting started?

    The first thing you’ll want to do is Get Familiar with the system.  Faith Teams has LOTS of features and functionality. It’s a powerful system where you can manage your church all in one single system. With that in mind, you and your team will want to block out some time to really get educated on the system. We HIGHLY recommend that you and anyone using your account make this your first step.


    The next thing you will want to do is add your people. If you have a spreadsheet, or if you’re moving to Faith Teams from a different church management software, we’re happy to help you get your people and data loaded.

  • How many people can we add into our database?

Whether you have 50 people or 2,000 people or more, your rates always stay the same.  Click here  to see more details about People and Families

  • How many users can we have?

    There’s no limit to the number of users you can have. You can give access to all your leaders and staff, and they’ll each be able to have their own personal login.

  • Can we control what our users have access to?

    Yes. You can setup different roles, such as Financial Administrator or Group Leader. Then you can set permissions for each role. This allows you make sure they see what they need to, and don’t see what they don’t need to.

  • Can we import our data from another software application?

    Yes. If you’ve been using a different software system, or if you have your data in a spreadsheet, you can easily import into Faith Teams. Also, if you’d rather, we’ll do it for you. We have a team ready to step in and get all your people and data moved in for Free.
