Praise God for people like John Saddington and blogs like Church IT. Man you don’t know how much I searched for a opensource ChMs with a clean and professional interface…
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to blog about this. I will be the first person to use it as soon as it’s released to the public and promise to let you know what I feet about it.

I tried the online demo and it’s great.
Unfortunately it’s still in alpha testing level and not released to the general public.
However there’s an alternative called “ChurchInfo” and I have covered how to install it in a Windows based PC instead of a Linux powered web server. You can check the link below if interested….
