Re: CheckReader

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...

Re: Minimum hardware requirements

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...

Re: electronic 401K contribution

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...

Re: Sync visits

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...

Re: Reposting multi-year prepaid pledge payments

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...

Re: Bank error of contribution check at month end, best approach for reconciliation

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...

Re: Better visibility of contributions?

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...

Re: Best method to transfer funds from one bank to another

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...

Re: PowerChurch Online Server Updates

To whom this may concern: I hope you are doing well. Can the posting be changed to Fund Accounting as a separate post? Since I file the documents alphabetically, I post each posting separately. This way, the posting report can be stapled to each document for audit purposes. For example, post funds ...
