People, true fund accounting, online giving, events, forms, buildings, payroll, approvals and reports — all in one place. Arketar replaces a spreadsheet jungle with a clean, modern operating system designed for the way churches and ministries actually work.

The platform

Six pillars. One unified system.

Most software solves one slice and leaves the rest on spreadsheets. Arketar is built as one integrated platform — every contribution, every event, every pledge and every paycheck flows through the same ledger, the same people graph, and the same approval engine.

01

People & Households

Members, visitors, families, relationships, titles, member types, group rosters — with private files, photos and a household-aware notification model.

02

True Fund Accounting

Multi-fund chart of accounts with restriction lifecycle, sub-ledgers, journal batches, AP / AR / GL, and cash or accrual basis — not "donation tracking with tags".

03

Online Giving & Pledges

Card and bank giving via Stripe and SimpleFin, recurring schedules, pledges with auto-pay, contribution statements and one-click deposit posting.

04

Events, Forms & Attendance

Event planner with sessions and tasks, native form designer, paid registrations, QR check-ins, attendee profiles and full event accounting.

05

Operations & Assets

Buildings, room reservations, asset register with depreciation and impairment, payroll with pay components and GL mapping, plus approval workflows for everything.

06

Security & Multi-tenancy

Row-level scoping, fine-grained role permissions, encrypted credentials, audit trails and full multi-tenant isolation — safe for diocesan and network-wide deployments.

People & Households

A people graph, not a contact list.

Track members, visitors and entire households. Define real relationships — spouses, parents, guardians, siblings, neighbors — and use them everywhere from notifications to giving statements. Roles and titles let you describe leadership in the language your ministry already uses.

  • 01Households with primary contact, kids, and head-of-household notifications.
  • 02Member types & titles drive registration rules and access.
  • 03Per-member documents: baptism certificates, photos, awards, attachments.
  • 04Smart groups by static or dynamic filters, with email / SMS / WhatsApp send.

  • CoAMulti-level chart of accounts with sub-ledgers and account hierarchy.
  • JEJournal batches, automatic offsets, cash or accrual basis.
  • APPayees, bills, disbursements with full audit trail.
  • ARPledges, invoices, fund transfers and inter-fund balancing.

Online Giving & Pledges

Events · Forms · Attendance

Plan it, register it, check them in.

  • FormsNative form designer with branded cover, attendees and conditional fields.

Operations

The back-office, finally caught up.

Reserve rooms, depreciate assets, run payroll and route every approval — without leaving the platform. Workflows let you decide who signs off on a bill, a reimbursement or a journal entry, and every step is captured in the audit trail.

  • BldgBuildings, rooms and reservation calendars with conflict detection.
  • AssetAsset register with depreciation schedules and impairment handling.
  • PayPay components, GL mapping, payroll-to-GL posting and YTD tracking.
  • FlowApproval workflows for bills, disbursements, reimbursements and journal batches.

Security & multi-tenancy

Built like a bank. Priced like software.

Every record is row-scoped to the tenant that owns it. Role-based access is fine-grained, encrypted credentials live in vaults, and a full audit trail follows every approval, edit and posting. Diocesan, network and multi-campus deployments are first-class.

  • RLSPostgreSQL row-level security keeps tenants strictly isolated.
  • RBACRole-based access · per-module read/write/approve permissions.
  • AuditEvery approval, posting and override is signed and time-stamped.
  • SecEncrypted secrets, bcrypt passwords, TLS everywhere.
