“Church Commander” is currently entirely funded by Richard Carlton Consulting, Inc. (RCC) , and is made available as a FREE software package to bible based Churches.

In early 2004, I saw an opportunity to greatly improve how our local IFBC organized its membership and soul winning information. Other than announcements made during a church service, there was no effective means of communicating with the church members. Automated phone messages to members have become largely unpopular due to public backlash against unsolicited phone calls from telemarketers. Also, the desire for soul-winning follow-up was there, but the means to carry this out effectively and efficiently was largely lacking.

Most IFBC's focus on Soul Winning as a primary objective. This is great! However, once people are saved, they need to STAY “plugged in” to their local church (Heb. 10:25). Keeping people involved in the church improves their lives, making them effective witnesses to their unsaved friends and family. It is hard to track people using the back of a receipt you stuck in the cover of your soulwinning New Testament (or your car’s glove box, or your kitchen counter, or…well, you get the point?).


I was sensing these sorts of issues in my local church, as well as other churches I visited. Therefore, I set my company to the work of developing Church Commander.
