Your church runs on technology (giving platforms, check-in stations, email, Wi-Fi, computers, and phones) but most churches do not have the budget for a full-time IT director. Rooted Software gives your team a complete IT department for a predictable monthly cost (often much less than you would spend even on a part-time hire).
We handle the help desk, security, devices, and day-to-day fires so your staff can get back to serving your church body.
IT Services for Churches, Starting at $25 per User/Month
“This company is amazing. They're professional, yet personal. They're exceptional at their craft, yet humble. And most of all, they have tremendous integrity."
Jeremy Pray, Executive Pastor, NorthCreek Church
The Problem
Tired of relying on a volunteer (or your most "tech-savvy" staff member) to keep things running?
Leaning on a volunteer or an already-stretched team member for IT is rarely sustainable. When streaming breaks before a Sunday service, or a staff member cannot log in, or a security alert appears in an inbox, you need a real team you can call (not a favor you have to ask).
Rooted Software becomes that team for all your church IT support. We are a faith-driven company that has served churches and ministries coast to coast since 2021, built on compassion, fidelity, and intentionality. Our goal is simple: make your technology a tool that blesses the church rather than a thorn in the flesh.
What’s Included
Everything your church needs in one managed IT plan
We are not a generic IT vendor that happens to take church clients. Serving churches and ministries is who we are.
You get a full team (help desk, cybersecurity, and strategic guidance) for less than the cost of one in-house hire, and you get partners who understand both your mission and your budget. We’d love to provide Church IT Services for you!
-
Real people, ready to help. We resolve everyday issues remotely (logins, email, software glitches, connectivity), set up new staff and their computers, and track every request from start to finish so nothing falls through the cracks.
-
We keep an eye on your systems continuously, install security patches and updates, and catch many problems before they ever interrupt your team. Less downtime, fewer surprises.
-
We protect your church with advanced antivirus and endpoint detection and response (the tools that spot and shut down threats automatically), plus internet and content filtering (included in every plan at no additional cost) to keep your network safe and appropriate for staff, kids, and guests. We can also enroll your team in security awareness training, so the people using your systems become a strong line of defense against phishing and scams. Your staff data and giving information stay protected.
-
We manage the full life of your devices (setup, inventory, upgrades, and secure retirement) and support the shared technology that keeps Sundays running, including child check-in kiosks, tablets, and front-desk stations.
-
We help keep your VoIP and phone systems, conference room technology, and video conferencing tools configured and working, so meetings and communication just work.
-
Need a technology roadmap and a trusted advisor? Our optional Monthly CIO Consultation gives your leadership budgeting guidance, vendor evaluation, and plain-English advice for boards and staff.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Rooted's managed IT plans start at $25 per user/month and scale based on how many hours each team member works (up to $65/month for full-time staff). A small church is often fully covered for around $200/month, plus a one-time onboarding fee.
-
Your plan includes unlimited help desk support, proactive monitoring and maintenance, security (antivirus and endpoint detection and response), patch and update management, device and hardware management, support for check-in kiosks and shared devices, and phone and conference room support. Strategic CIO consulting is available as an option.
-
Not at all. Many churches keep a tech-minded volunteer or staff member and use Rooted as the dependable team behind them. We take the pressure off so no single person is responsible for keeping everything running.
-
Our Service Desk is available Monday through Friday, 7am to 7pm Central Time, and we provide emergency support outside of business hours, including Sundays. Our real goal, though, is for Sunday emergencies never to happen. Our continuous monitoring and proactive maintenance are designed to catch and fix issues before your service ever starts. We also love to partner with a staff member or volunteer on-site, training them ahead of time on basic troubleshooting (like resetting your internet connection) and exactly how to reach our team quickly when something needs us.
-
Yes, and it is included in every plan at no additional cost. We set up internet and content filtering across your network to help keep browsing safe and appropriate for staff, kids, and guests, and we pair it with optional security awareness training so your team learns to spot phishing and online threats.
-
Yes. We support the devices and kiosks that power check-in, and Rooted also offers dedicated Planning Center consulting and setup as a separate service.
-
We deploy advanced antivirus and endpoint detection and response, manage security patches, and can add data backup (Acronis) and staff security awareness training. Protecting your staff and donor data is a core part of every plan.
-
After a short discovery call, onboarding typically begins right away. We document your current setup, configure accounts and security, validate system health, and establish your support process so the transition is smooth.
-
Hardware purchases, custom software development, large-scale data migrations, and a few specialized services fall outside the essentials plan, though Rooted can provide them under a separate agreement. We will always be clear about what is and is not covered before you sign. We have additional plans with more services included if requested, such as a guaranteed SLA.
