Tabernacle

Tabernacle (tabernacle.app) is a cloud-based church management software (ChMS) built in Kohima, Nagaland, India¹². The company reports serving over 150 churches and parishes across Northeast India and the Asia Pacific region³⁴. Founded by Atoba Longkumer and Vituonuo Suohu, Tabernacle launched in 2022 and was registered as a private limited company in 2023⁴. It has been described by regional press as Nagaland’s first Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) startup⁵.

Product

Tabernacle is designed specifically for church administration, replacing generic business tools like QuickBooks, Tally Prime, and Excel that churches often adapt for their needs¹. The platform covers six core areas¹:

• Member management. Store and update records for every congregant, including baptism, marriage, and transfer records⁶.
• Church accounting. Plan budgets, record expenses, generate audit reports with cash analysis, and track fund balances, with no accounting background required¹⁶.
• Online giving. Receive tithes and donations through FaithPay, the platform’s online giving system¹.
• Event planning. Schedule and coordinate events from small gatherings to large conferences¹.
• SMS messaging. Send bulk communications and automated donor receipts to the congregation⁷.
• Reports and analytics. Analyse demographic data, assess financial performance, and monitor trends⁵.

The platform also offers role-based admin delegation, allowing churches to assign management tasks across their team¹.

Pricing

All plans include every feature. Pricing scales by congregation size, billed annually in Indian Rupees plus 18% GST³:

Plan	Members	Price
Small	Up to 500	₹2,999/mo3
Medium	Up to 1,000	₹3,999/mo3
Large	Up to 2,000	₹4,999/mo3
Mega	2,000+	₹5,999/mo3

A 14-day free trial is available with no credit card required³. There are no setup fees for online onboarding, and data migration from paper records, Excel, or other ChMS platforms is included at no extra cost³. Payment methods include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and UPI³. Tabernacle also offers special pricing for mission churches and ministries with limited resources³.

Built for local churches

Most established church management platforms originate in the United States or Western markets. Tabernacle was built to address the gap for churches in South and Southeast Asia, where Western ChMS options carry higher price points and suffer from time-zone mismatches in customer support⁸⁵. The platform’s accounting module is designed around Indian church workflows, including fund allocation, donation management, receipt generation, and financial reporting that aligns with local auditing practices¹.

Tabernacle provides 24/7 support and one-on-one workshops to guide church staff through setup, feature exploration, and troubleshooting¹. The company handles the full data migration process for churches transitioning from paper records, spreadsheets, or other ChMS platforms¹.

Who it’s for

Tabernacle serves pastors, church secretaries, accountants, and volunteer administrators who manage congregations of any size. Testimonials on the site reference churches ranging from growing congregations of over 1,150 members to smaller parishes¹. The platform is particularly suited to churches in India and the Asia Pacific that need a locally relevant, affordable ChMS with support in their time zone.

Company

Tabernacle was co-founded by Atoba Longkumer (Founder and Director) and Vituonuo Suohu⁴⁶. Both are engineers who, as members and volunteers at their local church, observed that most church operations relied on manual, paper-based processes⁸. They launched Tabernacle in 2022 to address this gap⁴. The company was registered as Tabernacle Technologies Pvt. Ltd. in 2023⁴ and is headquartered in Kohima, Nagaland². A November 2024 press conference at the Kohima Press Club featured a seven-member team⁴. The company has not disclosed any external funding².
