Church Management System

Members, families, giving, ministries and church records in one system

Quick answer

What is the Church Management System?

Zinen Church Management System brings member records, families, ministries, attendance, giving, events, pastoral follow-up and church programmes into one searchable platform. It is designed to replace disconnected registers while keeping sensitive church records organised by role.

The supplied system covers the operational side of a congregation: member and family profiles, visitors, departments, small groups, volunteer rosters, services, events, attendance, sermons, prayer requests and pastoral visitation. It also supports church rites and records such as baptisms, confirmations, dedications, weddings and funerals.

Financial workflows include giving types, tithes, offerings, pledges and M-Pesa collection. Church teams can also use configured SMS and WhatsApp notifications, event registration and online-facing content to keep members informed without maintaining separate spreadsheets.
