Connectional & District Solutions
Mapped Directly to the United Methodist Itinerancy
Epworth CMS isn’t just built for isolated local congregations. It is engineered to mirror the connectional nature of United Methodist polity. Most of the powerful tools available at the local charge level—including committee builders, event coordinators, and robust profile tracking—are fully operational at the District and Conference levels to manage clergy status and connectional workflows.
Option 1: The District-Wide Bundle
Price: $25 / month per active charge (Billed annually to the District Office)
Transform your entire district’s administrative ecosystem in a single move. The District Office purchases a blanket subscription covering every local charge within its boundaries, opening up full software features to every church regardless of size, while natively tying the district into real-time reporting metrics.
- The Support Tradeoff: To maintain this aggressively low pricing tier, the District Office acts as the primary, front-line technical triage for its local charges. Local church administrators route basic interface questions to the District Admin, while legitimate core software bugs are escalated directly to the Epworth engineering team.
Option 2: The Standalone District Hub
Price: $250 / month (Billed annually at $3,000/year)
If local charges maintain their own individual subscriptions, the District Office can deploy the standalone District Hub. This is a complete administration platform designed for District Superintendents and Administrators:
- Clergy Management: Seamlessly track local pastors, ministry candidates, their status histories, and historical appointments.
- District Governance: Build and track District Committees (dCOM, Trustees, and District Strategy) with native roster management tools.
- District Events: Run district-wide lay servant trainings, youth retreats, and connectional gatherings.
- Automated Charge Conference Seasons: Subscribing local churches can securely share reports and statistics. Table 1 and Table 2 are always up-to-date in your portal—no chasing down paperwork or manual re-keying required.
- Real-Time Reporting: Get weekly worship attendance figures as a district aggregate or per-charge as soon as each charge enters them. Get up-to-the-minute demographic information, Sunday School attendance, and historic trend reporting.
Option 3: Annual Conference Enterprise Suites
Price: $750 / month (Custom configurations available)
Full multi-district rollups engineered for Conference-wide data management, specialized billing alignments, and cabinet-level analytical reporting frameworks. Monitor the entire episcopal area’s connectional health from a single, unified data engine.
