ChurchTools Innovations

ChurchTools Innovations is a German software company that develops and operates ChurchTools, a GDPR-compliant all-in-one church management platform. The product was originally created in 2004 by Jens-Martin Rauen to organize the contact database of his youth group at Elim Hamburg. It spread to other congregations, and by 2010 several dozen churches in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France were using it. In 2015, Matthias Huber joined as CEO and, together with Rauen, founded ChurchTools Innovations UG, which later became ChurchTools Innovations GmbH. The company is based in Germany and serves more than 3,000 Protestant and Catholic parishes, Free Churches and Christian ministries worldwide. Its team of over 30 employees offers four products in eight languages, covering administration, communication, volunteer coordination and community building for churches. The platform aims to reduce administrative overhead so that churches can focus on their mission.

ChurchTools began in 2004 when Jens-Martin Rauen developed the first version to organize the contact database of his youth group at Elim Hamburg. The system was soon adopted by the entire congregation and then by other churches. By 2010, several dozen congregations in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and France were using ChurchTools as their internal system. Rauen continued to develop and expand the software based on church needs. In 2015, Matthias Huber joined as CEO and founded ChurchTools Innovations UG with Rauen. The company increased staff in development, support, marketing and sales in 2016 and later transformed into ChurchTools Innovations GmbH. Today, ChurchTools serves more than 3,000 churches and congregations worldwide, with a team of over 30 employees and four products available in eight languages.
