Hi Everyone, I'm very new here and have not purchased PowerChurch yet but I am wondering how PowerChurch works as a church membership AND as an accountant package. Ideally, given the size of our church (approx 100), we would like a package that functions well at both. I would like to know particula...

We have 20 years of data in PowerChurch Online, and some old expense accounts that seem to predate even that. Many hands have resulted in the end of the chart of accounts looking like an illogical mess, so I'm trying to clean things up. I have several accounts where: --I run an activity report that...

I am adding new activities under the "Maintain Activities & Skills" menu. Under the lower categories on the screen, Activity Department, Activity Type and Default Role the option under the drop down menu for <Add New Code> is missing. I am assuming this is a software bug or how do I go about adding...

I am new user and considering the jump to the reader. Do you use the PowerChurch Check Reader? Pros/Cons. Is it easy to use? Does it post details to Contributions/Donors? TY :D FWIW the check reader works fine. After the first time you associated the donor's checking account with the donor's Contri...

Thanks, we have a Windows Server 2012 box. Previously they were told that they could not upgrade Powerchurch on that server. FWIW ... Server 2012 is very old, and has been out of support for a while. You can host Powerchurch on a NAS drive because it would actually run on the client computer. If yo...

Not sure if this is in the right place or not but I have a couple of people wanting to directly deposit from their 401K, I am not even sure how that is possible. Or if it is possible. I assume once it goes into the bank it would be posted as a regular deposit. Does anyone else have members of their...

I've had this problem before and the tried the fixes then, but they don't work. When trying to extract a file to excel I get :Error:1429, Method report_export, Line 122, OLE.... I've restarted the computer as well as install PCPLUS (c:\powerchurch\pcplus14\nstall, but i still get the error. So you ...

Hello PowerChurch team, We have a big problem with double entry of schedules for Visitations and Events. Our staff uses Google/Outlook calendars, and we enter everything into PowerChurch for membership tracking. I've seen that there are solutions for synchronizing calendars with each other, especia...

Donor gives a donation of $1,000 in November 2024. It was their 2025 pledge. Donor gives a donation of $2,000 in December 2024. The donor says it is a 2026 pledge. We recorded both contributions against their 2025 pledge. Now it is November 2025. Their 2025 Contribution Statement shows: $0 tax cont...

Dear All, I am please requesting some guidance on an error I have not really had before, at least not in this direction. A donor's contribution was done via check in the amount of $100. It was deposited late in the month. The bank, however, credited the check as $400; meaning we were given an extra...

When I run the Detail Changes in Equity report it only shows the current balance no other transactions are available.

What about the other report ??

Hi, We have 2 of our restricted funds in our endowment fund at Fidelity. We keep an excel spreadsheet to distribute the Fidelity endowment income to the main church endowment and the 2 restricted funds. These amounts are entered into CPlus using an entry in Fund Accounting. Up until July of this ye...

Hello, An idea for the Contributions and Fund Accounting section. Our church is looking for an easier way for members to see the impact of their donations. I've heard about online tools that show figures and successes in real time on a single page. Is there a way to link PowerChurch to create a sim...

Thank you for all of that. I should have explained better. We closed the Money Market from the old bank and deposited the money into our general fund at the new bank. Does that make a difference? In that case, I would just CREDIT the old money market account and DEBIT the checking account. This wil...
