ChERP — Ministry. Coordination. Accounting. Planning.
Multi-tenant · Role-secured · AI assisted

One platform for pastoral care
and financial stewardship.

ChERP unifies member care, ministry coordination, and accounting behind a strict privacy firewall — so pastors serve people and accountants steward resources without stepping on each other.

Testimonials

Trusted by churches that carry both

Ministry teams and finance offices working from the same platform — without seeing each other's records.

Our elders finally see ministry health and our bookkeeper never touches a pastoral note. ChERP settled a debate we'd had for years.

Ps. Thabo Nkosi

Senior Pastor, Grace Community Church

1 800 members · Congregation plan

Month-end used to take a week of chasing slips. Expense approvals and the asset register cut it to an afternoon, in Rands, with a clean audit pack.

Lerato Dube

Finance Administrator, Living Word Centre

Moved off spreadsheets in 3 weeks

The WhatsApp blasts and AI run-sheets replaced three separate tools. Our volunteer rota gaps are flagged before Sunday, not after.

Rev. Michael Adeyemi

Executive Pastor, Cornerstone Network

4 campuses · Cathedral plan

Counselling notes stay with the pastoral team, full stop. That single guarantee is why our board signed off in one meeting.

Ps. Naledi Mokoena

Care Pastor, Hope City Church

Pastoral firewall · 6 counsellors

Giving reconciles itself. Card fees, EFT and recurring pledges all land in the same statement my treasurer already understood.

Sipho Khumalo

Treasurer, Ebenezer Assembly

R2.4m processed in year one

Room bookings used to be a WhatsApp argument. Now double-bookings are blocked before anyone hits send.

Anita Pillay

Facilities Manager, New Life Centre

11 venues · 400 bookings a month

The family tree view showed us three generations we had listed as unrelated visitors. Follow-up got personal again.

Ps. Daniel Botha

Discipleship Pastor, Riverside Church

2 100 member records cleaned

Background checks and clearance expiry reminders run themselves. Our children's ministry compliance is no longer a spreadsheet.

Grace Nyathi

Safeguarding Lead, Bethel Family Church

180 volunteers screened

Service planning, chord charts and the tech run-sheet in one place. Rehearsal starts on time now.

Kagiso Sithole

Worship Director, The Sanctuary

3 services every Sunday

The morning digest tells me who was admitted to hospital, who missed three Sundays and what needs my signature. Before coffee.

Ps. Elizabeth Marais

Senior Pastor, Covenant Church

Daily pastoral digest

Proposals used to sit for weeks. AI risk notes against our own policy docs mean council decides in one sitting.

Themba Nkabinde

Church Administrator, Faith Tabernacle

Approval time down 70%

We run five campuses on one login. Each site sees its own numbers and I see the whole picture.

Network Lead, Harvest Churches
