    I heartily recommend ChurchApps. It is a ministry in the truest and best sense of the word. ChurchApps provides technical services to enhance and elevate the church's spiritual impact in their communities. They will help the infrastructure of the Church for years to come.

    Card processing for online giving is handled by the payment processor at their standard rates. We add nothing on top.

    Why is it free?

    Not for sale.
    Not for profit.

    B1 is built by Live Church Solutions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2012. Churches spend hundreds of millions a year on software — we'd rather see that money go to ministry.
