Free Church Accounting Software
The free basic church accounting and nonprofit accounting that I have discovered are these spreadsheets at FreeChurchAccounting.com. If you need a way to track your church business revenue and expenses and you can't afford to buy a church accounting software package these spreadsheets are wonderful to use.
Free Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware
Computers and laptops are almost a must for any church owner. We rely on these for our business and accounting needs. It can be very expensive to try to keep our business computers/laptops safe with an anti-virus or anti-spyware.
A great free anti-virus software is Avira Antivir.
Avira Antivir provides you with basic anti-virus protection for Windows and is available to download for free.
Church Membership Software Free
Another free Amule mac catalina download stuck. business software that many IT business people recommend for your computer is Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.
It's an effective freeware anti-malware tool. It scans your computer (complete hard drive) in just minutes. The only drawback with the free version is you have to remember every week to update and scan as only the paid version lets you set up a scheduler.
I'm always looking for ways to help myself (being I've been the church secretary at my church for many, many years) and my church and other churches all over the world by saving money with such things as free church business software, free church forms, certificates, brochures, flyers, letters, etc. A lot of churches rely on volunteers because they can't afford to pay to have employees so they have find ways to save money everywhere possible.
If you would like to help out other churches by sharing your money-saving ideas please just contact me and I will include your idea to this page. I know every church would certainly appreciate the help in this tough economy we live in today.
