It's also convenient to be able to access the entire congregation of our church. It's easy to view their photos and their information. It contains information such as names, phone numbers, and addresses. > > **Cons**: The Church Membership Directory is only limited to a maximum of 900 members so it's not a practical option for congregations larger than that . > > Information on the Church Membership Directory can sometimes be outdated due to inefficient administration and this can be an issue because you get too reliant on it. ----- ### "Great Value" — 5.0/5 > **Kathy** | *17 March 2017* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Very straight-forward to use. Lots of "helps" for those tasks you don't use as often. Can be customized to add categories. Reports are easy to export. > > **Cons**: Can't really think of any. I don't use as many of the export to mail options because we have specific looks we want and I haven't taken the time yet to figure out how to do that directly from CMD, which is not really CMD's fault. > > We have been using CMD for many years. The program is flexible and customizable and very affordable. The customer support is phenomenal. Very happy, and plan on staying with CMD for years to come. ----- ### "Great way to keep members and interests together" — 5.0/5 > **Theresa** | *17 March 2017* | Religious Institutions | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is competitively priced and has an easy learning curve. > > I use CMD to track my interests and keep my membership info in one place. This is a plus. It allows me to make mailing lists, sort the names according to type of interest and degree of interest. It has features that also allow me to customize reports and keep attendance. I really love the fact that the file works and looks like a folder where families are kept together. A place for pictures and now the ability to have mobile access allows me to keep track of my members and interests even when I visit them. I have used CMD for over 7 years and have been very pleased with how it has been updated during that time. It is a great value and a tool I would recommend to church leaders. ----- ### "Best for Less" — 5.0/5 > **Aaron** | *18 March 2017* | Nonprofit Organisation Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Support and easy to use for most users. > > **Cons**: Can be confusing with some of the terminology. > > Working with Church Membership Directory is a pleasant experience. It is quite functional and provides what I believe would be what churches need to understand their members. What I like most about the software is the technical support. When encountering a problem or question, you do not get routed overseas or a person reading a support script, but someone that knows the ends and outs of the software. I recommend this software on the support alone, but the functionality just adds the icing on the cake. We love it\! ----- ### "CMD by Software for ministry meets our needs\!" — 5.0/5 > **Jon** | *20 November 2015* > > We love Church Membership Directory by Software for Ministry. We recently wanted to publish our church family pictorial directory in house instead of having to deal with a photography company. The specs were clear on what resolution was preferred and which format. A church member took all our family photos and then we followed a simple upload process. We wanted to customize the order and format of the names that appear as picture captions and it was easy to do that as well. It's not a con, but a challenge...with such feature packed software, you do have to take the time to learn the program. To help with this there are videos and documents for reference. The company also provides excellent email support when needed. Very responsive. ----- Page: 1 / 2\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/40130/church-membership-directory?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.nz/software/40130/church-membership-directory) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | ----- ## Structured Data
