Purpose-Built

Designed specifically for the operational realities of churches and nonprofits — not a corporate tool scaled down.

Church & nonprofit operations software built for your actual needs — not enterprise workarounds

  • Replace 5+ disconnected tools with one platform
  • Affordable pricing that respects your budget
  • No technical expertise required to get started
  • Built around how your organization actually works

FAQ

Everything you need to know

Quick answers to the most common questions about JethroOS.

What is JethroOS and who is it for?
JethroOS is an operations platform built specifically for churches and nonprofits. If your team is managing volunteers in spreadsheets, scheduling board meetings by email, or manually following up with every new visitor — JethroOS replaces all of that with purpose-built tools. It's designed for organizations with 50–2,000 members who want enterprise-grade operations without the enterprise price tag.
What features are included?
All plans include Volunteer Management (profiles, scheduling, hours tracking, bulk messaging), Small Group Management (rosters, meetings, announcements), and Visitor Assimilation (digital connect cards, pipeline tracking, follow-up automation). Higher tiers add the Board Portal (meetings, voting, financials), Staff Recruiting (Ministry Match job board), AI Strategic Planning (11-tool suite with Health Assessment, benchmarking, and quarterly reviews), and CRM Integrations with Planning Center, Rock RMS, Breeze, and more.
How much does it cost — and is there a free trial?
Yes — every plan starts with a free 30-day trial, no credit card required. After that, pricing starts at $29/mo (Starter), $39/mo (Growth), and $49/mo (Organization). All tiers include unlimited volunteers. The AI Strategic Planning suite is available as a standalone add-on starting at $79 one-time + $4.99/mo. See full pricing →
Does it integrate with our existing church management software?
Yes. JethroOS integrates with all major Church Management Systems (ChMS): Planning Center, Rock RMS, Breeze ChMS, Church Community Builder (CCB), Shelby / Ministry Platform, and Fellowship One. You can import your existing people, groups, and history — no starting from scratch. Integrations are available on the Organization plan. Learn more →
How is JethroOS different from Blackbaud, Aplos, or Bloomerang?
Those platforms are primarily donor management and accounting tools for large nonprofits. JethroOS focuses on operational infrastructure — the volunteer systems, board governance, small group health, and visitor pipelines that fund-tracking software ignores. We're also priced for small organizations (not $500–$10,000/yr), and we include AI-native strategic planning tools that legacy platforms don't offer.
Is my organization's data secure?
Yes. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS/HTTPS) and at rest. We use SOC 2-compliant cloud infrastructure, and each organization's data is fully isolated — your data is never shared with or visible to other organizations. We do not sell your data or use it to train AI models. Payments are processed by Stripe, meaning no card data ever touches our servers.
What is the Church Health Assessment?
The Church Health Assessment is a free diagnostic tool that scores your church across 10 operational categories — including Volunteer Engagement, Visitor Assimilation, Small Groups, Financial Health, and Church Security. You get a 0–100 score with color-coded results, AI-powered coaching insights, and a shareable report. It takes about 5 minutes and requires no account. Take the free assessment →
How do I get started?
Create a free account — no credit card needed. You'll get instant access to all features for 30 days. Setup takes under 10 minutes: create your organization profile, invite your team, and start importing your volunteer list or board members. Our onboarding guide walks you through each module step by step. Start your free trial →
