Description:
Bellevue is different from the other CMS applications geared toward churches. It is an open source, web-based application for managing your church: its members, visitors, organizations, attendance, contacts, and contributions. Since bvcms is open source it is both free (except for your development cost) and open in its source code (you can edit, expand, revise, or entirely rewrite the software from the source code).
On the other hand, that means your church must be prepared with the technical resources to manage and support such a system.
