Church Office Online was founded in early 2005. Church Office Online's flagship product, Church Membership Online, was born based on a discussion of one of the founders with a friend who happened to be in charge of the church membership database for their church. As they spoke the following problems / needs were identified: - The available church management software was expensive, outdated & difficult to use- Storing all church management data on a local church computer was insecure & unstable- Volunteers had a hard time making time to drive into the church to use the church computer- Backups & data integrity measures were not being taken on the church's dataBased on these needs, the idea of creating an inexpensive, user friendly and accessible online church management software was born.With a small, but dedicated and caring staff, Church Office Online has grown to service churches across the United States and all over the world.
