Pros / Cons
  • Notebird allows me and my team to track members, their health concerns, visitations, and other important information which allows us to serve them and provide care as needed.
  • The address input is sometimes annoying because it tries to add without zip code and we need zip codes.

  • The CHMS is highly functional and does everything a church of any size would need it to do.
  • We stopped using Shelby about 4 years ago as it was not meeting our needs as we grew as a church.
