Built for Deacon Boards

Deacon Family Ministry Software
That Actually Gets Used.

Assign every family to a deacon. Log every visit and call. Know at a glance which families haven't been contacted in too long, before they drift away. No spreadsheets. No guesswork.

The Problem Every Deacon Board Knows

A Paper List Is Not a Ministry System.

You assigned families to your deacons. That's the right instinct. But without a way to track whether those families are actually being contacted, the assignment sheet becomes a formality, and families quietly slip through.

The List Is Out of Date

Families move. Deacons rotate. But the assignment sheet from last year is still what everyone's working from.

Did They Actually Visit?

You have no record of which families were actually contacted last month, just each deacon's word for it.

Some Families Are Invisible

Nobody realizes the Harrison family hasn't heard from anyone in four months, because nobody has the whole picture.

How OurChurchCare Works

Built Around the Way Deacon Ministry Actually Works.

Family Assignment Lists

Assign every family in your congregation to a specific deacon. Each deacon sees only their families, with contact info and the date of last contact front and center.

Contact Logging

After every call, visit, or text, the deacon logs it in 15 seconds. The record is permanent: who contacted them, when, what happened.

Overdue Family Alerts

Set a contact frequency. The system automatically flags any family that hasn't been reached in too long, so nothing slips through unnoticed.

Ministry Coverage Dashboard

Pastors and deacon chairmen see a real-time coverage percentage and a complete list of which families each deacon has and hasn't reached.

Deacon Rotation Support

Reassign families when deacons rotate off. The contact history stays with the family, not the deacon, so nothing is lost in the transition.

Works on Any Phone

Deacons install it to their home screen like an app. Log a contact right from the parking lot, no laptop, no delay.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Deacon family ministry software is a tool that helps churches organize and track their deacon ministry. It assigns specific families to each deacon, logs every visit and call, and alerts leadership when a family hasn't been contacted in too long. The goal is to move from a static assignment sheet to a living system that actually ensures every family gets personal care.

In OurChurchCare, you open a family's profile and select a deacon from a dropdown. You can assign families one at a time or reassign in bulk when a deacon rotates off. Each deacon sees only their assigned families in their own login, and every contact they log stays permanently attached to the family, not the deacon.

OurChurchCare starts at $9/month for the Basic plan (up to 5 deacons and 100 families). Standard is $24/month (up to 20 deacons and 500 families). Premium is $49/month with unlimited deacons and families. All plans include a 30-day free trial. No credit card required to start.

Church management software (ChMS) covers attendance, giving, volunteers, and member records for your whole organization. Deacon ministry software is purpose-built for one thing: ensuring every family is personally cared for. OurChurchCare does family assignments, contact logging, and overdue alerts, without the cost and complexity of a full ChMS that your deacons will never actually open.
