What are the problems being solved? What is it that churches do where
computers can help?

Sorry, my co-workers hate it when I start asking questions like that.
"Church management" paints different pictures for different people. For
example, I thought of these things...

* Track donations
* Track attendance
* Promotional mailings
* Worship service scheduling (bulletins, announcements, others?)
* Worship service execution (slides, recordings)
* Manage ministry/administrative teams
* Time tracking for employees
* Pay bills
* Payroll, taxes, and other accounting goodies

I'm sure I missed a ton of stuff.
