Background Renovations

When Breeze was first built, the vision was to build the world’s easiest church management software system. And now, a few years later, we think we've done just that!

But there's always room to improve and innovate and our development team has been hard at work doing something that, if all goes right, you won't even notice.

Our team has been working on rebuilding portions of Breeze using a brand-new API and modern development framework called React.

The rebuild is a lot like a home remodeling project: rather than knock the whole house down and build a new one on top of the old one, we take it room-by-room, updating the electrical, plumbing and underlying structure, giving us a much better base to build an even nicer room. The beauty of doing a remodel this way is that the house is still sound, safe, and secure the whole time and you never have to move out.

Our tool of choice for this rebuild is “React”, an open source framework used by thousands of web sites to build rich, interactive interfaces used on browsers and mobile devices.

React gives our developers the tools to build new features faster and test those features much more thoroughly than we’ve ever been able to do with our existing framework. Additionally, it allows us to better test our updates and new features and prevent bugs from occurring.

Ultimately, we’re laying the foundation for innovative new features in Breeze.

This change supports one of our pillars of Breeze: longevity.  We want to be built to last. We don’t want to be “great software for today”, we want to be “great software forever!”

Other enhancements

  • Mapping Accuracy
    Occasionally Breeze is unable to map specific addresses on a person's profile. In these cases, the message of "Sorry, we are unable to map this address" is displayed below the address, instead of a map. Learn more about Mapping Accuracy
  • New Logged Actions
    We've added a number of new logged actions, including items like "subscription payment method updated" so that you know what actions other users are taking in Breeze.  To see your logged actions go to More > Account Settings > Log. Learn what other logged actions you can view
  • Improvements & Bugs Fixes
    We're constantly making improvements and fixing bugs that creep into our system.  Our developers are hard at work making sure that they can make your life a breeze.

We look forward to sharing continued product updates and enhancements as we strive to be the world’s easiest web-based church management software for small and mid-sized churches. Cheers to you doing great work in ministry!

All of our database needs have been more than met, it's easier to use than the last database we had, and the price is amazing - what a value this has been to our church! All of our staff can use this software and they do regularly. We use it to track…literally anything a church could possibly need to track regarding it's attenders.

Breeze has been a great asset to our church and congregation. Especially from an administrative standpoint, it has been the most adaptable and easiest church database I have ever used. The features from blast emails to giving on-line, and texting have been one of our greatest assets. Thank you!

We switched from a major, web-based ChMS to Breeze and our decision is confirmed every day. We are a medium size church and we use Breeze for contributions, member management, event checkin and a few other applications custom to our church. I had trouble getting any staff to use our previous ChMS but almost all staff are using Breeze. The product is very well designed, extremely easy to learn and use and customer service is incredible.

Breeze has opened the communication highway for our congregation and staff, with very little training. Because members can update their own records and search easily for other members - and map their locations, send emails and text right from Breeze, they love it and our data is more real-time accurate. Our ministries are stronger, because they can trust the data in Breeze, which is easily accessed anywhere, anytime.

Breeze is the first ChMS my volunteers have actually embraced. That's because it's so easy to use. The software is very flexible and gives us the opportunity to make decisions based on actual data we've collected and not just hunches or stories we believe to be true.

I cannot say enough about Breeze. Their customer service is so friendly, you feel like you have friends and family helping you get started, they're prompt to reply and will do whatever they can to help you get things sorted out. It's been so easy to learn, our staff is loving it and best of all even our staff who are not computer savvy find it a breeze (pun intended). We are just thrilled by our choice.

From the start of our process looking for an online solution, Breeze has exceeded all our expectations. Fast data import, fast and friendly customer support, and we can’t say enough about how much we like the program itself. Very well designed and user friendly. On a scale of 1-10, Breeze gets a 15 from us!
