Church Giving Health Check

How healthy is your congregation's giving — really?

Use free tool →

Most churches don't know their giving rate. They know the total — but not what percentage of their congregation is actually giving, what the average gift looks like, or how they compare to similar-sized churches across the US.

The Church Giving Health Check asks you four simple questions and returns an instant score with benchmarks. You'll see where your church stands on giving participation, average gift size, per-capita giving, and online giving adoption.

It takes about 60 seconds. No account, no email, no data stored. Just a clear picture of where you stand and what to focus on.

Best for: Pastors and church administrators who want to understand giving patterns and identify where engagement is slipping.

ChMS ROI Calculator

What is manual church administration actually costing you?

Use free tool →

Churches that manage members on spreadsheets, track giving in Excel, and schedule volunteers by hand spend an enormous amount of staff and volunteer time on tasks that modern church management software handles automatically.

The ROI Calculator helps you put a number on it. Enter your church size, how much time your staff spends on admin, and what you're currently paying for tools — and get an estimate of how much time and money a platform like ChurchStacks could save you each year.

Built for church administrators and pastors who are evaluating whether a ChMS investment makes sense for their size and budget.

Best for: Church administrators, executive pastors, and finance teams evaluating church management software.

AI Sermon Assistant

From blank page to structured outline in under a minute.

Use free tool →

Sermon preparation is one of the most time-consuming parts of ministry. The blank page problem is real — even experienced preachers spend hours getting from a passage to a structured outline.

The Sermon Assistant is a free AI tool that takes a Bible passage or theme and returns a full sermon outline: main points, supporting scripture, illustrations, and application questions. It's not a replacement for the Holy Spirit — it's a starting point that handles the structure so you can focus on the message.

No signup required. Works for any passage or topic. You own whatever you create — nothing is stored on our end.

Best for: Pastors, preachers, and small group leaders who want a fast starting point for teaching preparation.
