Church management for UMC polity
Pastor-built. Made for small churches.
Free for churches under 50 in average worship attendance. $15/month when you grow. No per-member fees, no hidden tiers.
Every other ChMS charges by the size of your membership roll. For a UMC church with 300 members and 50 in worship, that's a punishment for keeping faithful records. Chapel is priced on average worship attendance. Your rolls can be whatever the Book of Discipline requires. We don't count them against you.
Professing members. Baptized members. Affiliates. Constituents. Charge Conferences. Local Church Reports. If you've ever tried to squeeze UMC data into a system built for a Baptist church, you know why this matters.
Every other system was designed for one church at one address. Appointed to a two-point charge? They force you into "multi-campus," which treats your churches like branches of one organization. The Discipline treats them as two separate churches with two Charge Conferences and two Local Church Reports. Chapel does the same. One login for you, completely separate data for each church.
Chapel is designed for no-staff and bi-vocational pastors. Every feature started with a question: what's a pastor doing by hand on Tuesday morning that a computer could just do?
