A New Church App

:waving_hand: I’m relatively new to the Frappe community and have been diving deep into all whole Frappeverse. As an avid open-source contributor & user, I’m surprised it took me so long to find Frappe.

Recently I started a new custom app called ‘Church’. I wanted to make the community aware of the app and to seek additional contributors. I intend to keep the app fully open source and to list it on the Frappe marketplace when it reaches a v1.0 state (whenever that is!).

I would appreciate any suggestions or contributions from anyone interested.

Can you compare and contrast with Open Source ERP Software for non profits | ERPNext

The nonprofit app was very limited and generic. This church app is solely intended for churches, so it has much more specific doc types like ‘Prayer Request’, ‘Bible Reference’, ‘Song’, ‘Missionary’, ‘Mission Agency’, ‘Church Person’ (which has fields like baptism, membership, etc), ‘Church Belief’, etc.

Currently the church app does not share any doctypes with ERP Next and only relies on Frappe framework.

so there is no accounting - even if a church wanted it?

Wow, this is really amazing, fantastic work.

Currently there is fund and expense tracking along with collection creation to track donations. It does not use the ERPnext accounting module which is more advanced than what most churches need. In the future I may add more to the module or integrate with the ERPnext accounting module.
