Better information for important decisions

What makes it different

This is more than a list of supplier links. It records sources, dates and unanswered questions. It also covers UK issues such as Gift Aid, pounds sterling, charity tasks, data protection and support.

What it does not do

Inclusion is not endorsement. The site does not provide legal, financial, safeguarding or tax advice, and it does not replace a church's own checks before choosing.

Current catalogue

Church Software UK is live and currently includes 147 researched profiles and 552 dated source links. It is not a market-wide shortlist, and inclusion is not endorsement.

Publisher, accountability and corrections

Publisher: Church Software UK

Church Software UK is an independent software directory for UK churches.

Contact the publisher about a correction or update.

AI may assist with research organisation and drafting, but a human remains accountable for published claims and corrections.

How to use the directory

Start with the task that needs attention rather than a supplier name. Compare the published facts, note the unanswered questions, and ask a small group of users to test one ordinary task. A shortlist is a starting point for checks before choosing, not a purchase decision.

For a shared starting point, use the shortlist tool; it only narrows recorded profiles and explains the evidence behind each result. Then record costs, ownership, data, exit and set-up questions before making a commitment.
