Re: consolidating with another church

We will be in one building, consolidating mid fiscal year. Consolidating a UCC church and Presby church is not a new idea and is becoming more popular in order to survive for the future. The members of the new entity will belong to both demonizations simultaneously. The financial books will be combi...

consolidating with another church

Neil, we will be consolidating with a UCC church this year and I'm wondering if it's possible to set up PowerChurch in advance with their account info. We will have one set of books after we consolidate. What is the easiest way to enter their budget categories and then fill in the $ blanks when the ...

Re: Merging with another church

Ok, I get that, but when I transfer the assets to PowerChurch, what does the transaction look like? It’s not like they are coming from a donor. Unless I set their church up as a donor?

Merging with another church

Our church is merging with another, smaller church. We will become a new entity, combining a UCC church and a Presbyterian church, with a new name. We have decided to use PowerChurch and not their version of Quicken. Whew! How do we merge their financials into ours? They have checking, savings, and ...

Re: Project cost accounting

So at the end of the year my project cost overran donations by $25,000. It's a temp restricted account and the $25,000 is carrying over for the 2025 fiscal year. what should I have done to close it out in 2024 so it's zero for the next project? Thanks.

Re: Project cost accounting

I found the problem. The Project expense account was set to close to the "Equity" account instead of 01-3110.

Re: Project cost accounting

Neil, before you spend time answering this, I may have found the problem. I have to run my close to reports and check that each expense account is closing to 3110. I'll post my solution.

Project cost accounting

Neil, I've looked at this until I can't see the forest for the trees. We did a paving project last year for $35,500 and the donations fell short by $25,000. That left our unrestricted net assets 01-3110 in negative territory. We have a positive balance in our check of $40K, but we receive large pass...

Change Password

The Knowledge Base method works for windows but not for Mac. Any idea how I do this for Mac? I created an automator app, but it only worked once.

Re: Simple Texting

The only choice I had was a so-called free trial. Clearly the integration is no longer there and should not be promoted as a feature.

Simple Texting

I am a new user of PowerChurch Online and found the SimpleTexting interface in the Contributions module. After trying to set it up and failing, I called tech support and found they really don't know anything about it, other than it doesn't work. I suggested they remove it from the menu!
