I work as a software engineer and am a part time pastor. Yeah I would agree most church software is not that great (I use Easy worship instead of PowerPoint and that totally rocks). First because a lot of what the church does has echo's in business software. Office managers use MS office and off the shelf accounting software. I know pastors use facebook to connect with others (or should be but that is a different post). The church software that I have seen was either too expensive for the churches I was serving at or was not a felt need for us to go out and purchase. I have thought long and hard about church software and I see needs, but most of those needs are being met by off the shelf software that helps with the need to manage or the need to connect.
