Software
CDM+: This is both a database software AND a financial software. Inexpensive integrated software for non-profits that really works for both things. Developed by Clergy, it does offer a lot of "extras" for pay, but the basic software is powerful and offers some private tracking for pastoral concerns as well as visitor tracking that really helps track potential new members.
