We’ll give your church a private, working copy of PewHQ — the whole thing, not a slideshow — already filled with a fictional congregation so every screen has something in it.
An empty system tells you nothing, so yours arrives as a small church that has been running for a while: sixty-odd households of adults and children, small groups and serving teams with a full year of attendance behind them, a year of giving spread across several funds, upcoming events, a sign-up form, a pledge campaign, a sermon archive and a published website. Every screen has something on it, so you can judge how PewHQ handles a year of real Sundays rather than an empty database.
Not a sandbox with the interesting parts stubbed out. Run an import from your own spreadsheet and undo it. Take an offering, then close the month and watch the number stop moving. Check a child in and print the label. Produce a year-end statement. Send a group email and watch the supervision rules fire on a group with teenagers in it. The only things switched off are the ones that would reach the outside world: email and texts don’t actually send, and billing is off.
The congregation is invented, so there is no privacy question to weigh before you let a colleague loose in it — forward the login to your treasurer and your youth leader and let them push at the parts they care about. Ask us to delete it whenever you’re done, and if you go on to sign up, your live church starts empty and separate from this.
The tour is screenshots with narration: two minutes, instant, and nothing to fill in. This is your hands on the keys, which is the only way to find out whether the software fits how your church actually works. Most churches do both, in that order.
We build each demo by hand, so it’s usually the same day and always within a working day.
