Loved by Churches Everywhere
Pastors and church administrators who needed free church management software tools — and stopped paying a monthly ChMS bill.
"We use this platform every Sunday to track attendance and keep records of everyone who attends, including our Sunday school children. As missionaries with a limited budget, we appreciate that this software is free and effective."
"This is a church saver. As a small Church with a limited budget, this software is GOD SENT and a blessing. It is user-friendly and easy to set up. Donation reports are easy to draft. The fact that I can export data to excel makes analysis of records very simple. It has shaved off at least 25% of my office time."
"This helped us transition to digital giving seamlessly during the pandemic. The support team was fantastic and the platform is incredibly reliable. Being free allowed us to redirect our software budget to actual ministry."
About Our Free Church Software
B1 is free church management software from Live Church Solutions and the open-source ChurchApps suite. Hosting is included. The product is people, giving, check-in, groups, website, and attendance — not a free trial that turns into a quote.
Our Mission: Helping Churches Focus on Ministry
Every year the Church spends over $800 million on church management software. We believe that money can be put to better use, which is why we developed this platform; a completely free, open-source church management solution.
