Thank you, Bill! We're so grateful for your long-standing partnership! It's wonderful to hear how Rock has supported your ministry and that you're finding strength in both the platform and the community. Many of our churches use Rock out of the box – no developer required. Though if churches want to, there are vendors ready to help with customizations. Rock is flexible like that!

The ability to receive both core updates from the development team of Rock RMS, as well as customise Rock RMS using the built in features, plus perform custom development ourselves if necessary.Child Check-in was improved dramatically for us!The community is amazing as well, with forums, ideas, chats, and recipes on how to set new features up using Rocks customisation features.

Elvanto wasn't meeting our needs anymore and Tithely wasn't interested in helping to meet them.

More people are using our Church Management System than ever. Ministry staff interact with it, and the data helps them to build relationships with people. Event Registration is enabling us to streamline the process of people signing up and not losing that data in the process Groups as a central tool (instead of just small groups) gives our teams a common tool that provides clear understanding or what smaller groupings of people look like. eRA is a revolutionary tool for our team. We've never had this level of insight into who is connected to our church We haven't even fully integrated our giving processes, and we're anxious to leverage Rock's abilities there, as it's WAY easier.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

The most valuable things about Rock to me: 1. Rock is open AND extensible. We no longer have to compromise on the way we manage our ministry. The software can be configured to work with the way our ministry teams need. 2. Rock's community... I'm continually thankful for Rock's community. From Core developers working with and solicting the community on how to make the next version better, to the level of support we get from other churches, it's all top-notch. We previously paid thousands of dollars per year for a lesser product with less support 3. RockRMS' "Shop" has given us access to tools and ways to accomplish the 'fringe' needs that pop up in a supported way. We can say 'yes' to the "Is it possible" question instead of "not with our software" 4. RockRMS has documentation and real-world examples that work for someone on the administrative/management end, such as myself. However, the documentation and examples are also approachable for my ministry and volunteer staff

#### Cons

The biggest hurdle that I (and my org) had to work to overcome was taking a more involved and invested approach to integrating and using the software in our ministry areas.

### Leave expensive ChMS systems

- Overall rating: 5/5
- Reviewer: Josh C.
- Verified reviewer: Yes
- Industry: Non-Profit Organization Management
- Company size: 2-10 employees
- Product usage: Used daily for less than 2 years
- Reviewed: October 2018
- Review source details: This reviewer was invited by us to submit an honest review and offered a nominal incentive as a thank you.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 3/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Have you ever thought it was weird that a private hedge-fund bought both Fellowship One and Shelby and created a quiet monopoly in the ChMS market? Rock is the free, open-source rebellion against monopoly higher prices and lower service for church software. With Rock you have a church database system that allows you to automate ministry workflows and view ministry reports. Want to see "Show me everyone who's attended twice, who's not in a small group, who lives within 2 miles of an open small group". And then you can put that into a list to send an email to them, or make a list for a pastor to call. The best part of Rock is how easy it is to get help and support in the community slack chat. Rock users hang out there all day and answer each other's questions.

#### Cons

You install Rock on your own server. 1-click, handled-for-you hosting has not arrived yet (2018-10-18). (But it may have by the time you read this) Going from "I'm interested" to "we are setup and running" is the hardest part. You'll probably need a tech-savvy person at your church OR work with a Rock Partner (professional consultants). One common path is take advantage of Microsoft's $3,000 non-profit credits to host on their Azure cloud hosting. So if between saving the money you'd spend on your current ChMS and having effectively free hosting on Azure, there's a big incentive/budget to get yourself over the "we are now setup" hurdle.

### Fully featured, incredibly customizable, and a pleasure to work on

I have heard from many of the church staff from different ministries that they genuinely enjoy using Rock, and it saved us from using multiple different systems with separate, redundant databases of our congregants. Everyone's jobs are made easier with Rock. The community is incredible and the core development team works closely with us to make sure that any changes we're making are the best they can be for us and for the community. It's an absolute pleasure working with Rock.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Although I am a developer that has made many customizations to the software, I am consistently impressed with how well-designed all of the features are, and how many of them there are. A church could do incredible things with this software without employing a developer. But when we do choose to customize or build new features, Rock makes this process incredibly easy compared to other systems I have worked on. New versions are released all the time with a plethora of new features. Just when you think Rock couldn't possibly do any more for your church, they announce a new version with things you never knew you wanted but now must have!

#### Cons

Anything I could mention here would be nitpicking.

We were on Arena and migrated to Rock v7.3. Before go live we did a huge amount of planning, process redesign with the inidivual ministries as well as training everyone. Once we went live, we had probably the best softwear launch ever in my 20 years of managing software releases. We launched to 9 campuses across kids, students, volunteer check-in, events, connects, groups, and next step registrations, integration with Pushpay and Secure Give, email and text to workflow etc. We are getting ready to deploy 7.4 next week and will start testing v8. We are super excited to start utilizing content channels to basically replace our website and have partnered with a group of churches to build a mobile app completely open source with Rock as the back end. Our mission is to impact our world with the love and message of Jesus Christ to everyone, everyday, everywhere. Rock helps us to use technology to do that!

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5

#### Pros

Rock is so powerful right out of the box but because it is open source, intuitive, and there is huge support community that comes with it...Rock has completely transformed our IT department. We can quickly delivery small, medium and large asks from all areas of ministry. This in turn is changing how the ministries are looking at processes in general and they can see results.

#### Cons

Truthfully there aren’t really cons, the folks at Spark are awesome in helping us to customize where needed on the more complex functions and where it make sense they actually add the functionality to core product. They are growing and so is the community of Rock developers.

#### Pros

I love how flexible it is. We generally don't have to worry about workarounds like we did in systems past. We love how it fixed so many of our difficult problems without becoming a problem itself. The community is also a great part. You aren't buying into a company, you are joining a community.

#### Cons

Waiting for the newest features and tools. It can seem like forever when it's something you didn't even know you needed until you heard it's coming soon. Then you have to wait until it's polished and ready. When it's here though, it's basically Christmas.

I like the customization possibilities of Rock. It has been such a gift to our ministries to be able to have tools that work the way we need them to.

#### Cons

The degree of difficulty involved to customize and build new things. However, this has challenged me to learn.

#### Vendor response

Thank you! We're so encouraged by your story—hearing how Rock has both supported your ministries and sparked personal growth means so much to us. We know that change can be tough, and we’re grateful for your perseverance and leadership through that journey. Having lots of options can mean lots of things to learn. It sounds like you’re on the right track! We're honored to be part of your mission, Helen!

### Great for larger churches

#### Ratings breakdown

#### Pros

If you are a larger church with a high membership count, Rock is fantastic software. There is a steep learning curve, but the customizability makes up for it if you have the resources to invest in employees or third-party developers, who can help you with that.

#### Cons

Learning curve for Rock is incredibly steep. If you do not have the time, resources, or desire to invest in such a complex product, it may be worth looking for a more user-friendly church management platform.

#### Pros

The thing we link most of all is that it included all the features we were trying to use with multiple different platforms and the ability to customize and automate using workflows.

#### Cons

The cons are that if you really want to dig in a customize. You have to be willing to dive in a little deeper that the surface level. You should start to make workflows and learn LAVA and SQL to be able to pull in information from your church database.

This is a monumental shift in what is out there. Instead of shoving your church data into a pre-built box solution from a vendor, this is a set of Legos that comes pre-assembled, functional out of the box, but allows you to fully customize what you see, where you see it, and even how it looks. If you have further skills, you can even code your own integrations with this. They didn't lock it down like so many vendors do.

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 4/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 4/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Open source, shared community, highly active Slack support community, plugin shop, fast growing wave of adoption... Look, this is the future of church software. It does everything we had with a very expensive vendor of the past 15 years and it does so better, with more ability for customization, and is free to smaller churches. Larger churches should support the core team for sure, but even that isn't forced. The heart behind this product is incredible and the product is constantly improving with 2-3 major releases a year! We're seeing more flexibility and customization happening than we've had in the past 15 years combined and we're on year 1 still.

#### Cons

- There is a learning curve with self hosting, but there are 3rd party partners that you can pay to migrate or set you up, and extensive step-by-step documentation exists as well. - You don't NEED a developer to use this, but having one can sure make things easier and allows you to customize.

Rock RMS is THE tool we are using to manage all internal data. Congregants can log in and register for events, give tithes, and make changes to their family profiles, and it is all updated in real-time for staff to manage. We use it for project management, resource reservation, and mass communication. It is very good.

#### Cons

#### Ratings breakdown

- Ease of use: 5/5
- Value for money: 5/5
- Customer support: 5/5
- Functionality: 5/5

#### Pros

Rock's feature-set far exceeds our previous solution that cost > $1k / month. Biggest pro is access to data: if we are recording the data, there is no limit to how it can be processed or viewed. Second biggest pro is flexibility: the entire software is open source and extensible. Beyond that, we were very surprised at how much customization and flexibly were available without ever writing a line of code. Lastly, Rock is a much more polished solution than other options we've looked at: more features, mobile friendly, a UI that just makes sense.

#### Cons

The flexibility definitely requires knowledge and time to setup and administer. We definitely wouldn't change that because of the flexibility it provides, but you should expect to need a knowledgeable point person that has time available.

#### Pros

There is so much that Rock can do. We loved the fact that everything is completely open source and customizable. There is little that Rock cannot do.

#### Cons

We are a small church and have realized over a long period of time that you almost have to have a full time person or team that is solely responsible to rollout Rock and maintain it. I know that it spectacular for larger churches with large staff but was far too much for a medium sized church to implement.

#### Pros

Implementing the Rock RMS system was the biggest thing that we did to be able to better understand - and structure - our church data. It is user friendly for ministry leaders, yet powerful enough to build strong analytics from it. The open source model creates a network of partners that can help you out if you don't have a large IT team.

#### Cons

There is still a learning curve with Rock, and probably a few too many data fields (that can cause confusion at times).

The ability to do so many things without having to be a developer, etc. The community that supports Rock is amazing and answers questions to much faster than any tech company.

#### Cons

There are some assumptions made about how you should handle your data that I would make differently. So, it is a little frustrating when I run up against those things, but the community is always there to help with a solution.

It has been incredible - I have actually learned a TON of new things using this product. Just the fact that there is a community ready to answer any questions instead of a slow sale's staff saying they'll 'get to it' is great.

#### Pros

This is a church software unlike you have used before. It is open-source, fast, user-friendly and completely customizable. You can use it out of the box with no issues if you desire and there is a community of churches waiting to help you with any wild questions you may have.

#### Cons

Check-in must use Zebra printers (which are pricey)

We've been on Rock for about 18 months now. We are thrilled with the flexibility of Rock. We have complete access to all our data so any report we want can be generated. We have the ability to add fields we need and if needed purchase or write plug-ins to fill any integrations we need. The only function that isn't there yet that staff ask about is volunteer scheduling. We were able to do our migration to Rock ourselves. There are partner vendors available to help churches that don't have the IT staff to handle doing it alone. The developers regularly seek feedback on features and are very open about what is coming next. The community surrounding Rock is AMAZING! There is an active Q&A board and Slack channel. Questions are answered quickly by someone in the community. Questions and problems of all types are answered respectfully and helpfully. It doesn't matter if you are an IT person, developer or ministry staff, questions from the most basic to the super complicated are welcomed. The community is very willing to share anything that they have built or coded. Ask someone how they did something and they will likely send you the files or code needed to do it. It is great to have software, developers and a community that truly want to make my local church as efficient and effective as it can be!
