Free church management software for the workflows you use every week
Relius gives your church a free foundation for people, groups, giving, check-in, events, and your public church website. Add advanced ministry operations only when your team needs them.
Why free works
Put the software budget back into ministry
Most churches should not need a monthly software bill just to maintain records, receive gifts, run groups, or check in families. Relius keeps those core workflows free and offers paid upgrades for churches that need deeper operations.

Questions
Free church management software FAQ
Is Relius really free?
Yes. The Relius Free plan has no monthly subscription and includes core church management workflows such as people, groups, events, online giving, check-in, and a public church website. Donation processing fees can still apply, and advanced ministry operations are available on paid plans.
How does Relius compare to paid church software?
Many churches pay $50-$300 per month for the same core CRM, giving, group, event, and check-in workflows that Relius includes in its Free plan. Relius also offers paid upgrades for churches that need pastoral care, service planning, communications, volunteer scheduling, or the full AI suite.
Can I migrate from my current church software?
Yes. Relius can help migrate data from popular platforms including ChurchTrac, Planning Center, Breeze, Tithely, and more. The goal is a clean transition for your people, groups, giving history, and core records.
Is there a limit on the number of members?
No. The Free plan includes unlimited members, groups, and events, so your church can grow without moving into a higher tier just because your directory is larger.
Is my church data secure?
Yes. Relius uses encrypted infrastructure, role-based permissions, and privacy-first controls to help protect your church data.
