Elvanto's membership management module helps church leaders keep their database organized by collecting and storing contact information, notes, interactions and demographic details in a central repository. Member data can be entered manually, or collected through custom forms on websites and via emails. Elvanto’s event management module helps users to maintain calendars and keep track of details for multiple events that also includes room reservations. Event calendars can also be embedded on the church website for members to view. Elvanto’s volunteer management module supports volunteer coordination tasks. Coordinators can assign volunteers to positions and alter them if there are scheduling conflicts. Rosters are then automatically generated and sent to volunteers via SMS messages or emails. Volunteers can choose to accept or decline the position and coordinators can view their responses. > > Verdict: Rated **4.5/5** by 126 users.

Not expensive for a small church like ours. > > **Cons**: On Android phones it takes you to a website and does not function like a true app by letting you give totally on your phone. However, we have not yet had any complaints regarding this. > > Allows members of our congregation to give via a mobile app. Money is deposited in our bank account very quickly and the giver usually pays the fee, so we get the donation they used to give via check. ----- ### "Easier for our staff, empowering for our congregation" — 4.0/5 > **Gordon** | *20 October 2016* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: A very comprehensive solution to church management, with flexible pricing, customisable appearance and functions, secure access control, and freedom from software compatibility issues. > > **Cons**: Getting the broader congregation to draw on its capabilities. Staff and key leaders have taken this up well. There can be cultural expectations that church life is 'low-tech' and simple - I can respect this is some ways. But passwords and online comms are as common as cars and phones in the 21st century. It's ok for people to have to learn. > > We've been with Elvanto since 2012 . It now supports all the core activities of daily life in our congregation - in one program, with one subscription, and without any software compatibility hassles. This is easier for our staff who ride one learning curve then rise to draw on all Elvanto's capability. This is also empowering for the congregation, because we use Elvanto in a way that empowers the congregation. They plan, communicate, and take action though Elvanto. As a result... We follow up and support our people better through accurate attendance and directory information. We know more specifically what's been happening through the wide range of reports on hand. We plan our calendar more clearly and book facilities and resources with more confidence. We communicate more frequently and clearly with our congregation in our emails and SMS. We organise more effectively for our worship life through the rostering, service planning, and song selection capability in Elvanto. We equip people with resources through blog posts, sermon outlines, and documents whenever needed. We have learned to use the new functionality of a program that is in active development \[in a good way\], as they are responsive to user feedback. We relax over costs because we only pay for people who are actively involved in church life now - and can still keep in touch with others as Contacts. We have even more ways we COULD use Elvanto but choose not to so far - such as the online giving or the small group attendance. Why Elvanto compared to other church management software \[CMS\] solutions? It was flexible pricing, customisable functions and appearance, software-as-a- service convenience, and a complete set of functions across the board - pastoral, worship, communication, and calendar planning. Elvanto fulfils and exceeds our congregation's expectations and agendas. Criticisms? Frankly the larger challenge with CMS is the church culture. For some, church life is a sanctuary which they wish was free of passwords or pins. This shift is small pain for large gain, if they take it up. The usage curve is far from level - about a quarter of our people use E most days - and about a quarter log in maybe once every few months. I'm ok with that. In short, choosing to go with a CMS, and Elvanto specifically, has been the single most significant step forward in organising church life that we have made in the past ten years. ----- ### "Could be better." — 3.0/5 > **Greg** | *18 May 2023* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: This product offers everything you need for a church management software. You can check people in each week with service. It offers a kids check in. You can plan your worship service. And so much more. > > **Cons**: The messaging is not compatible with its partner software tithe.ly. I have messaging on tithe.ly but I can't use it with Elvanto. They are part of the same network but can't be used together. You have to get a third party messaging system in order to send text messages in Elvanto. ----- ### "Great way to take payments from our church website" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *25 September 2019* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that I could integrate payment options seamlessly into our website, without sending the donor to a separate site. I was able to adjust colors to match our colors to ensure a seamless experience. > > **Cons**: When using the app the user is directed outside the app for payment; seems like it would be simple (maybe not?) to build the ability to keep it in the app. > > We were able to add a seamless donor experience to our site and allow people to give from phones, helping to grow out giving by removing barriers. ----- ### "Gets all our team on one page" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *9 October 2018* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: We love that it's fully online, in the cloud Easy to make custom fields Smartphone apps SMS text support for Australia Automatic notifications to fill out attendance reports > > **Cons**: A little "clunky" in some features Permissions a little confusing at times > > Our team and Pastors love the workflows and day to day use after it's setup ----- Page: 1 / 6\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/392695/elvanto?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/392695/elvanto) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
