Our story began when our founder, Gavin, was on staff at his local church. Alongside his role as a kids' pastor, he built tools to help the church run more efficiently - the member's database, small group ministry and Gift Aid/giving to name a few. As other churches saw these tools, they showed an interest in using them, but they hadn't been built to be customisable or support multiple churches. In 2011, having pondered the idea for nearly 3 years, Gavin started to rebuild these tools from scratch and released a Beta product, ChurchApp, to a small number of churches in August of that year. With positive feedback and continued development, ChurchApp launched as a full product in January 2012, including four modules.

Despite all our well-loved and widely-used functionality, the feedback we consistently hear that ChurchSuite is best known for is its culture of passionate support for the local church and its mission. We love the Church and our mission is to build world-leading software that supports the Church at an affordable price. It is our passion and love for the Church that comes through in our customer service. Time and again, customers mention that they appreciate that we listen, respond promptly and take their feedback into account when building new features or updating existing ones. A growing number of customers have chosen to provide reviews, which are available online.
