See what makes One Church Software so special and why churches are switching daily to our platform.

One Church Software

Here's what sets us apart from Breeze

Groups: Comprehensive Management with One Church Software

One Church Software features a fully functional Groups management system, which allows churches to categorize and organize their congregation into different types of groups—whether for small groups, classes, or ministries. With One Church Software’s Groups module, churches can track attendance, manage communication, and even automate group promotions or updates. The Groups tool is designed to make managing your church’s community more structured and flexible.

Breeze ChMS organizes people using tags, which limits the flexibility and granularity of how people are grouped. There is no comprehensive “Groups” module available for managing small groups, classes, or ministry teams.

Why One Church Software is Better:

Customizable group types for any purpose.
Flexible categorization that suits different church ministries.

Check-In Customization: Total Control with One Church Software

One Church Software: Provides an extremely customizable automation tool. Churches can create tailored workflows to mirror their own manual processes, set to run automatically or on-demand. With One Church Software, you can automate emails, SMS, group promotions, and assignments. The system also allows for perfectly timed communications (email reminders, text messages), and triggers based on search results or form submissions. This level of flexibility allows for a more hands-off approach, saving time and ensuring follow-through.

Breeze ChMS: While Breeze offers an automation tool, it is limited in its functionality. The automations are very basic, with few use cases and no control over when these automations run. This can be restrictive for churches with more complex workflows or those wanting to automate common tasks like follow-ups or communications.

Why One Church Software is Better:

Send perfectly timed emails and text messages.
Send your team reminders to personally connect with others.
Set automation triggers on search results or form submissions.

Accounting: Complete Financial Management with One Church Software

One Church Software offers a robust Fund Accounting system that empowers churches to manage their finances with clarity and precision. Our accounting solution supports fund allocation, making it easier to track income and expenses across different categories. This helps ensure accountability and transparency in your church’s financial operations.

In contrast, Breeze ChMS lacks an accounting solution entirely, forcing churches to rely on third-party integrations or manual processes.

Why One Church Software is Better:

Integrated fund accounting for full financial management.
Clear, organized financial dashboards for easy monitoring.
Advanced reporting features to make data-driven decisions.

One Church Software: Delivers a fully integrated and accessible data view, particularly in the Directory. It provides a more robust people listing with customizable columns, allowing church staff to quickly scan through key information without extra clicks. This increased visibility allows for more efficient management of member data.

Breeze ChMS: Provides a very limited view of data, especially when it comes to the People module. The platform restricts the number of columns available in the people list, making it harder for users to view comprehensive information without drilling down into each profile.

One Church Software: Highly customizable across various modules. Churches can adjust fields, data views, reports, and workflows to better fit their specific requirements. This makes One Church Software an ideal choice for churches that require a tailored approach to managing their congregation, events, donations, and more.

Breeze ChMS: While Breeze offers some customization options, they are limited to certain areas of the platform. It may not offer the flexibility needed for churches with complex needs or specific workflows.

One Church Software: Offers lightning-fast loading speeds. Whether you’re managing people data, running reports, or making updates, the system performs quickly and efficiently, reducing time spent waiting and boosting productivity.

Breeze ChMS: Known for its slow and laggy performance, especially during screen loading. The delay in loading can be frustrating for staff, especially when trying to access or input data quickly.

Fully Branded App: Stand Out in the App Store

With One Church Software, we offer the option for your congregation to have a fully branded mobile app that showcases your church’s unique identity. Your app will stand out in the app store, helping you build a stronger connection with your community. organize groups in a way that fits your church’s needs.

Offering a fully branded mobile app allows churches to keep their community connected in a seamless and engaging way. Small to mid-sized churches can use this feature to improve member engagement, manage events, and facilitate giving—all from the convenience of an app tailored to their church’s needs.

Why One Church Software is Better:

Fully branded app that highlights your church’s identity.
Greater visibility and connection with your congregation.

Query Builder & Reporting Tools: Instant Insights with One Church Software

One Church Software: Comes equipped with a powerful query builder that allows users to create ad-hoc reports quickly. Reports run lightning-fast, meaning you spend more time analyzing data and making decisions than waiting for results. Additionally, One Church Software offers pre-built specialty reports such as “lapsed donor” or “lapsed attendance” reports, as well as custom reports that can be scheduled and automatically sent to leaders and decision-makers.

Breeze ChMS: Does not offer a robust reporting feature like a query builder. The reporting tools are fairly limited, requiring users to rely on preset options without the ability to customize reports or build new ones on demand.

Why One Church Software is Better:

Lightning-fast reporting and query-building tools.
Pre-built specialty reports like lapse donors or attendance.
Scheduled reports for automatic delivery.

Online Widgets Automatically in Sync with Your Data in One Church.

One Church Software: Offers a variety of web embeds that allow churches to easily integrate elements of their Church Management system (such as forms, event registration, giving options, etc.) directly into their church’s website. These embeds automatically sync with your One Church Software data, ensuring that your website always reflects the most up-to-date information.

Breeze ChMS: Does not provide the ability to embed any portion of the Church Management system into your church’s website, limiting the ability for churches to seamlessly integrate their data into their online presence.

Why One Church Software is Better:

Single source of truth for your publicly visible data.
Customization tools to match your branding.

Manage and request resources, such as rooms and items for events.

One Church Software: Includes a Resource Management module, which is a game-changer for churches needing to organize rooms and resources for events. This module allows churches to manage facilities, add approvers, and customize questions for event organizers when requesting rooms or resources. It also gives facility managers the ability to approve or deny requests, streamlining the process and ensuring that resources are efficiently utilized.

On the other hand, Breeze ChMS lacks a facility scheduling tool or resource management module. This means churches using Breeze have to rely on third-party tools to manage room bookings and resources for events, which can create extra administrative overhead.

Why One Church Software is Better:

Request rooms and other resources when setting up an event.
Allow an individual staff member, facility manager or an entire team to approve or deny requests.
Create custom questions when scheduling.
