What Tabernacle does

Tabernacle Technologies Private Limited is an Indian for-profit SaaS company that builds and sells cloud-based church management software (ChMS) for churches, with concentrated traction in Northeast India (Nagaland, Mizoram, West Bengal) and stated reach 'beyond' into other Indian states. The platform unifies seven modules — Members, Finances, Giving, Events, Reports, Messaging, and Admin — on a single cloud architecture, layered with a built-in church-specific accounting system that handles fund accounting, donor receipt generation (including 80G-compliant receipts for Indian tax purposes), tithe tracking, and flexible fiscal year support (April-March or January-December). It is purpose-built for non-accounting church staff and includes church-native concepts such as designated funds, baptism records, family relationships, and bulk tithe receipt entry.

The business model is subscription SaaS accessed via browser, with a 14-day no-credit-card free trial transitioning into paid plans; specific tiers and pricing are not publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is a hybrid of product-led growth (self-service trial, ease-of-use messaging) and sales-led conversion (Calendly demo booking, 24-hour team outreach, three-step onboarding). Marketing is content-driven through a blog of ministry resources, comparison pages versus global ChMS incumbents (Breeze, Planning Center, Servant Keeper, Flockbase), customer testimonials, and an email newsletter. The company claims 150+ church and parish customers, employs 1-10 people, is bootstrapped with no disclosed institutional funding, is led by co-founder and CEO Atoba Longkumer, and is headquartered in Kohima, Nagaland, India. Recent product activity (June 2026 platform update, Fiscal Statement feature, and the announced Sanctioning Process module) indicates ongoing investment in deepening the financial management surface area.
