Built in the pews, not the boardroom.
GreatChurchTech is the umbrella brand for software my team and I build for the local church. I’m Eddie Burroughs — pastor, U.S. veteran, bivocational founder, and a guy who got tired of paying enterprise prices for tools that didn’t fit a real-world church.
The problem we’re solving
Most church-management software is one of two things:
- Enterprise tooling rebranded for ministry. Built for mega-churches with a paid IT person, sold to neighborhood churches that don’t have one.
- Free-but-fragile open-source projects. Often well-intended but unmaintained, with awkward UX and a setup process only a developer can love.
Pastors and church admins end up either paying too much for a system they only use 20% of, or burning hours patching together free tools that nobody owns when something breaks.
What we’re doing differently
Every GreatChurchTech product is something we use first — at our own ministry, every week. If the tool is too complicated for our deacon, we simplify it. If it’s too expensive for our budget, we redesign it. If it doesn’t solve a real Sunday-morning problem, we don’t ship it.
That’s why the product line is small on purpose: we’d rather build two tools that genuinely earn their place in your week than ship a 14-module suite that’s mostly dead weight.
The current line-up
TogetherChurch — A modern church management platform. Members, groups, giving, events, communications, and a built-in AI assistant called Adam.
ChurchSermonStudio — Drop a sermon video in, get back a transcript, sermon notes outline, social posts, pull-quotes, and every scripture you cited. Currently invite-only.
Who’s behind it
Eddie Burroughs is the founder. He pastors in eastern North Carolina, served in the U.S. military, runs several small businesses, and writes most of the code himself. He’s based in Stantonburg, NC, and is the kind of founder who actually responds to email.
