Ministry Brands

Ministry Brands is a software and services company serving churches, Catholic parishes, nonprofits and other purpose-driven organizations, with a customer base of more than 90,000 organizations. The company provides technology and services intended to help these organizations grow, protect and engage their communities. Faith-based and mission-driven groups often depend on small staffs and volunteers, so vendors in this category tend to bundle administration, giving and communication tools that would otherwise be bought separately.

Its solutions help clients engage members and donors, manage fundraising and giving, plan events and run background checks on employees and volunteers. For churches, its management software covers accounting, online giving, websites, mobile apps, communications and live streaming, and its Amplify platform includes Equip, an AI tool for sermon preparation that turns one sermon into social posts, study guides, devotionals, video clips and translations in more than 30 languages. ParishSOFT is designed for Catholic organizations and is used by more than 9,000 parishes and 185 archdioceses and dioceses, while Protect My Ministry provides background screening to 35,000 ministries across all 50 U.S. states. Together these lines form four specialized offerings for churches, parishes, nonprofits and safety, which lets one vendor handle both a congregation's daily operations and its compliance needs, such as screening volunteers who work with children.

Ministry Brands reports more than 40 years of work in technology for missional organizations, about $6.5 billion in giving managed each year, 42,000 websites built and 1.7 million background checks performed. The company has nearly 700 team members and runs a partner program and a customer success program, along with a Healthy Church Hub of resources for church leaders.
