Spanish Version Church Management Software
We at Church Growth Software are happy to announce that the Spanish version of Church Growth Software is now ready. We have been working on this translation for over a year. The Spanish Purpose Driven Churches have been asking for this translation so they could make it more accessible for their Spanish speaking staff.
The CGS Spanish training manual is in the process of being completed shortly. There will be more training resources available in the next few months. Training videos are are being developed in the English language at the moment. The Spanish videos will follow.
If you are interested in trying out this Spanish version of Church Growth Software you can logon to our site at http://www.churchgrowthsoftware.com and download a Free 30 Day Spanish Demo.

Do we need any more churches? As the population is increasing on this earth and
more churches are closing their doors. Read the following statistics and see
what our future holds.
We are losing America spiritually
If the current trend for church attendance continues in America, by 2050 or even sooner only 10-12% of people living in America will attend a Bible-based church.
Established churches are most likely to plateau in 3-5 years
After a church is 3 years old it is not as effective in reaching people for Christ as it was in the early years.
New churches seem to grow faster than established churches.
In the average year, more than half of all churches do not add one new member through conversion growth. With the right leadership, new churches are reaching out to the community. The leadership in established churches many times do not keep the five New Testament purposes: Worship, Evangelism, Fellowship, Discipleship and Ministry. They put more emphasis one purpose then the other. This church will eventually plateau and start to be ineffective. A new church plant has the zeal to keep these purposes in the forefront.
To answer the question “Do we need more churches”? Yes we need more effective churches. There are billions of people that need to be reached.

We are currently working on a few updates to this purpose driven church management software.
Here are the updates in progress.
- There is a report update in the Donation module coming soon that will allow you to get a summary of all giving selected in a date range per donor. This will give you a snap shot of total giving in that date range.
- Another summary report is being created in the Ministry module. This report will show attendance per individual in each ministry they are involved in. Again this information will be generated within a date range.
- We are looking into adding an alternate address page that can be used for mailing purposes.
- A Spanish version of Church Growth Software will be released shortly. This will help the Purpose Driven Spanish churches use the purpose driven church philosophy in their church growth.
If you have any suggestions for updates to Church Growth Software email us.
