Common questions

Does Grain work for Reformed and CRC churches?
Yes. Grain is denomination-agnostic fund accounting. Reformed churches configure accounts and funds to match consistory, classical, and diaconal needs.
Can we track ministry shares?
Yes. Set up accounts for classical ministry shares so you can track obligations, payments, and reporting alongside your local church budget.
Is Grain suitable for churches with a deaconate?
Yes. Separate funds for diaconal activity give your deacons clear financial visibility while keeping the main ledger consolidated.
