For UK Methodist churches
Church management software for Methodist churches
Connexional admin without spreadsheets — for Methodist churches and circuits
Methodist churches operate within a circuit and connexional structure that adds an extra layer of reporting on top of normal parish admin. Class lists, leaders' meetings, circuit returns, and Methodist Church Council records all need to live somewhere. MosesTab covers UK Methodist admin needs alongside the standard finance and compliance work — Gift Aid claims, Bacs Direct Debit, GDPR data-subject rights, and Charity Commission reporting where applicable.
What Methodist churches actually need
- Methodist Church Council (the local equivalent of a PCC) with proper governance records
- Class lists and pastoral groupings
- Circuit-level reporting fields
- Gift Aid claims to HMRC Charities Online
- Bacs Direct Debit recurring giving at interchange rates
- Connexional return summaries from existing data
Why MosesTab fits
- Class leaders see only the people in their class, with clean GDPR boundaries
- Treasurers run Gift Aid claims without maintaining a spreadsheet
- Council secretary keeps meeting minutes and declarations of interest in-app
- Direct Debit collection without a separate Bacs bureau
- Generic 'Trustees' module flexes to cover smaller circuits
Frequently asked questions
Does MosesTab support the Methodist Church Council?
Yes. The governance module includes a body type for Methodist Church Council with role terms, declarations of interest, DBS expiry tracking, scheduled meetings, attendance, and lockable minutes.
Can class leaders see only their members?
Yes. Permissions limit each class leader to the people in their class for pastoral care, while keeping full church records visible to the minister and admin team.
How are Gift Aid claims handled?
MosesTab generates a CSV in HMRC Charities Online's schedule format directly from your giving data. Donors sign declarations on your giving page; the treasurer downloads the claim quarterly.
