Does Fold understand the Assemblies of God structure?

Yes. Fold is built around General Council, Region, District, Local Church, with your departments, home cells and fellowships and the offices you actually use: Pastor, District Pastor, Church Board Chair, Deacon, Church Secretary and Treasurer.

Can Fold produce our district report?

Yes. Membership by group, attendance measured against services actually held, baptisms and confirmations, and income by type, for any period, ready to print or save as PDF for the district pastor and the regional office.

Can we use our own membership categories?

Yes. Member types are the words your church uses, such as Member, New Convert, Child, Adherent, rather than a fixed list written for somebody else's church.

Your structure, not a template

That is a real hierarchy with real reporting, and Fold is built for it. The local church keeps its own register and giving, the district pastor sees the churches in the district, and the regional office sees the totals without anyone retyping them.

Levels of oversight

General Council
Region
District
Local Church

Branches let one account oversee several local churchs, each keeping its own register.

These are examples from Assemblies of God practice. You type your own, and nothing is a fixed list.

Your district report, already filled in

The evening somebody in your local church loses every period, assembling figures that were all written down somewhere already. Fold counts them from the records your team kept as they went.

Membership totalled and broken down by departments
Attendance averaged against services actually held, not against Sundays on a calendar
Baptisms, confirmations, weddings and funerals recorded the week they happen
Income split by tithe, offering and any fund you keep

Who sees the giving

The minister, an administrator and a finance officer. Nobody else. A church board chair can keep their own people and record attendance without ever opening the giving records, and that is enforced by the database itself rather than by hiding a menu item.

Each local church's records are separated from every other church's in the same way. Under the Data Protection Act, 2012 (Act 843) your church is a data controller and must register with the Data Protection Commission, and choosing software that separates records properly is part of meeting that duty.
