 17 February, 2010 Well, looks like we have an actual plan to support Church Commander in a way to that is self sustaining. We have added Paul Shinn, West Coast Baptist College graduate to our team, with the expressed purposes of supporting Church Commander for churches who needed extra support. Church Commander 1.0v1 is available NOW at this link: DOWNLOAD NOW.
We are in the process of updating this website, so please be patient with us. Remember, that you will need FileMaker 10 to run Church Commander. Church commander is totally free, but FileMaker Pro is not. FileMaker Pro works on Mac and Windows systems.
You can download a free 30 day trial of FileMaker Pro for Mac or Windows here: http://www.filemakertrial.com/nskto/form/entry.aspx
We are in the process of creating some training video, but those are not ready yet...so if you download Church Commander now, plan on "winging it!" Please report bugs or comment to Richard Carlton & Paul Shinn @ email.

Church Commander is a Ministry which we have felt “called” to execute. Implementing Church Commander is not entirely FREE since there are computer hardware costs, internet connection charges, etc. That being said, the database system, and the hundreds of man hours involved with its creation are made freely available. There are zero licensing costs. Only costs which RCC cannot mitigate are born by the church, specifically computer hardware costs, and the FileMaker software license. This FileMaker cost is a one time fee that must be covered by the church. If the Church Commander project receives outside funding, the management team will work to determine if this cost can be offset. RCC does not expect to be able to offset the hardware costs at anytime.
