Explore I-Church, fully interactive
This is a real, working copy of I-Church — click around, add a member, pledge a welfare item, book a meeting, issue a Customer Invoice. Nothing you do here touches a real church's data, and no real SMS, email or payment is ever sent.
Four ways in
Each login opens a different part of the platform. Nothing you do here affects a real church.
Follow the money: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4
The Accounting menu is a workflow, not a filing cabinet. Log in as the treasurer and work the four steps in order — the demo church is deliberately left mid-month, with real work waiting on each one.
Transactions
Import a bank statement CSV, or type entries straight in. Imported lines stay put until you deal with them — they don’t vanish when you log out.
Waiting for you: eight imported lines — six real ones, including a Monday deposit to split across the Sunday offering and two members’ tithes, and two the system has flagged as possible duplicates for you to delete.Create Invoice
Raise an invoice off a receipt you’ve already banked, or bill a hall hire before the money arrives. Lines come from your own items catalogue, with VAT where it applies.
Waiting for you: an items catalogue, four customers, eight suppliers with a year of payments behind them, and ten captured bills — paid, part-paid and still owing.Review, print, email
Check what was raised, edit the lines, then print it on your own letterhead or email it to the customer. Then match money to paper: drag receipts onto customer invoices and payments onto supplier bills under Allocations.
Waiting for you: five invoices — paid, part-paid, printed, and two standalone ones still owing — a R4,000 deposit nobody has allocated yet, and this month’s cleaning bill whose payment already went out.Reconcile
Pick the account and the statement period, type the closing balance off your bank statement, and tick lines off until the difference reads R0.00.
Waiting for you: this month’s draft, with the statement balance already typed in. Every earlier month is signed off.The one number that has to agree
Open step 4, tick every line for this month, and the difference won’t reach zero — it stops at exactly what’s still sitting unprocessed back on step 1. Deal with the six real lines first (and delete the two flagged duplicates) and it lands on R0.00. That’s not a scripted demo trick; it’s the same arithmetic your treasurer does on the last Friday of every month.
- Two bank accounts, each reconciled against its own statement.
- Opening balances loaded, so the first month’s figures start where your bank did — not at zero.
- One banked deposit, several givers: each still gets their own Section 18A total.
Reconciled Total = Previously + Now
Difference = Statement Balance − Reconciled Total. Four figures, in the same places Pastel and Sage put them, so a treasurer who has done this before doesn’t have to learn anything new.
