Nucleus

Surprised! 😲

Comments: Helping meeting to stay on track and professional is really amazing!

Pros:

The Agenda and the time-clock while a meeting is in prigrsss is one of the first features to catch my eye! How amazing is that?? Thus allows you to run a truly professional meeting where you stay on top of things and keep to time! This can really revolutionize meetings! Having a central hub also for users to go back and review past recordings is another notable feature that caught my eye. Digging further, I came across the ability to group your attendees into groups which can help create your own hub! This is incredible!

Cons:

Nothing! It is so intuitive that you can practically dive in and put it to use immediately! Well done to the team! 👏🏽

Best All-In-One Church Software

Comments: We have loved nucleus from the very beginning. Installing the launcher on our website as a central hub allows people to sign up, give, and stay up to date with all with one login for church admins, and attendees as well!

Pros:

I love the low rate on donation fees. It's the lowest you'll find anywhere. When you consider everything it includes, Nucleus offers CHMS, email, stock footage, social posts, giving, event registration, website builder and a sermon engine all for $199 month.

Cons:

They lack third party integration with a lot of major church softwares. You have to manually export CSV files in order to migrate people or update information. They also deposit online giving once or twice a day, which makes reconciliation a bit tedious.

The Great App

Comments: My overall experience with Nucleus has been predominantly favourable, especially regarding its functionality and adaptability.

Pros:

One of the aspects I appreciate most about Nucleus is its intuitive interface, which effectively simplifies and consolidates a range of business operations.

Cons:

One aspect of Nucleus that I find least favourable is its potential intricacy regarding customization and configuration.

Nucleus - A Must!!!

Pros:

Easy to use and simply to help reach your community for Jesus. Highly recommend.

Cons:

It too a few minutes to learn - but not too hard for the average tech savvy.

Amazing church software created by church people for church people

Comments: I have loved Nucleus from the very start and my love for it continues to grow as well. The Nucleus team offers very quick support and is always very helpful. They also make products that are very easy for volunteers to use and do not require a steep learning curve.

Pros:

I personally value the theology and philosophy that Nucleus incorporates into their products. They have concrete reasons why they develop certain features and give church leaders the ability the tools to do carry out their responsibilities simply and effectively.

Cons:

Since Nucleus is so simple and effective for church purposes, it would be amazing if they were able to incorporate other aspects of Church Management Software.

Nucleus is a no-brainer for small to mid sized churches.

Comments: Phenomenal. Top notch customer service. Incredible team. [sensitive content hidden] is a visionary and we leave a long lasting mark on the Kingdom.

Pros:

The ease of use. I can train several volunteers to run Nucleus because they have simplified it for the church. Their platform is driven by the mission to be invitational instead of just inspirational.

Cons:

I wish I didn't have to use other platforms to manage my people or schedule services (planning center) but it makes sense because I've been able to condense my web platform to stay with Nucleus. I used to use squarespace so that at least helped me consolidate that aspect of our platforms.

THE BEST all-in-one suite of website, social media, donation management products (+ beyond) around!

Comments: Again, clean, sleek, easy to use. And the team is top notch — helping my church any and every way they possibly could. I am very grateful for products and companies like Nucleus. You cannot go wrong with using Nucleus.

Pros:

Nucleus is hands down the best all-in-one suite of website, social media, donation management (+ beyond) around! I personally didn’t utilize the donation management side of things in my last church, but if we hadn’t already been so deeply rooted in utilizing Planning Center products, I would’ve had us make that switch in a flash. Clean, sleek, incredibly easy to use.

Cons:

I honestly cannot say I disliked anything during my period of use within my last ministry. My only “regret” is having to stop using it.

You owe yourself the administrative relief that Nucleus provides.

Comments: Fantastic.

Pros:

Cutting edge, user-first experience (for both church members and staff/volunteers). Saves time. Saves money. It just works.

Cons:

Would love to see Nucleus play better with other ChMS providers (two-way sync is a big need).

Nucleus has changed our church.

Comments: Was the best thing we've done for our church.

Pros:

I could rant and rave about every feature that has enabled significant growth in the last two years, but I'll say this instead: Nucleus saved us so much money, we hired another full time pastor. A 110-person church has two full-time pastors, all because Nucleus enabled our church and community to take more next steps and save on giving fees.

Cons:

Nucleus is meant for the small church to thrive- if you manage the website and communication for a large church ministry, you may be disappointed in the lack of customization across Nucleus products. But that's because Nucleus puts wise guardrails up for users who are running small ministries and need time saved or to make it easy for volunteers to manage the website and management stuff.

The Gold Standard for Digital Church Strategy

Pros:

First is their philosophy. Everything they do is based on research and accurate data. They pivot when the data changes and they communicate the “why” with excellence. This makes for excellent customer service. I have never worked with a better team of people. Every company band organization is going to have an issue arise. Nucleus also goes above and beyond to resolve any issues we’ve had. And believe me, they have been minor and minimal. Finally, the product. There is nothing quite like Nucleus and no digital church company more generous. While they make a product and run a business, it is kingdom first, always.

Cons:

The cost can be a bit of a stretch for us as a church of 60 people but their generosity and scholarship have made it possible. Getting in in their early pricing has also made the goal more accessible.

Making a Volunteer Look Like Full-Time Staff

Pros:

Nucleus makes professional appearance take seconds. In a rapidly growing church plant of 300, we need a robust system, but don’t have the ability to have dedicated staff. Nucleus allows my time as a volunteer to create a beautiful and powerful website. The integrations work flawlessly allowing max flexibility. Aside from the phenomenal website capabilities, the media provided allows our reach to exceed far what we could have ever imagined.

Cons:

I have yet to find anything I don’t love about nucleus

Absolutely worth ever penny and then some!

Comments: I am absolutly thrilled, things that used to take hours now take mere moments and look 10 times better. The nucleus social saves me HOURS of work time.

Pros:

Customer service, look, feel, ease of editing, sermon engine, social media posts Everything is absolutely fabulous and yet they seem to never stop improving. Our website is used more, and is more functional than ever!

Cons:

Nothing...Anything I have not liked they have improved.

Amazing church connection website

Pros:

Ease of use. This website building does the hard work for you, while also opening the door for advanced code injection for more experienced web builders.

Cons:

It can be a little overwhelming with the number of features it offers up front, but the tutorial walkthroughs and basic templates do a awesome job getting you through it all!

Nucleus is great for churches and easy for small churches

Comments: Customer service has been 100%!

Pros:

I like the ease of use that has always been a part of Nucleus. Transitioning to 2.0, I decided to take advantage of the Nucleus Universe. After answering some basic questions and uploading some images from our church, the Nucleus team is setting up all the rest. I think it’s a great value for a small/medium church.

Cons:

Nucleus is a great all around product. The only con has been waiting for Nuc 2.

The best church platform on the market

Comments: Using Nucleus has been a great and educational experience. The Nucleus team have been amazing with assisting in setting up our church site and it never feels like anything is too complicated to understand.

Pros:

Easy to navigate and manage. The layouts and design look great on all platforms. Next steps pop ups allow people to see what’s most important on the site and forms are very easy to users to complete

Cons:

Unable to use giving feature as we are based in Australia. Would love to have the prayer wall available for people to view without having to sign in or create a Nucleus account

Best in the business - consistently saves us time and money - more of a partner to us

Comments: website, online giving, donor management

Pros:

We started with Nucleus as a website management product. Then when they moved to online giving, they saved us so much money - the change paid for itself and the other products many times over.

Cons:

This is not really a negative because they haven't promised this as a feature. I wish it were also our Church Management System. They are so good at the other products I can only imagine they would be the best in business at this as well.

Nucleus simply makes sense

Comments: Overall extremely happy and love this product

Pros:

Affordable, reliable, and tons of top quality advice on how to use it all more efficiently.

Cons:

The fact things are pieces release in strange timelines sometimes gets confusing

Makes quality web design (and more) achievable for churches

Pros:

I love that Nucleus empowers churches with the tools they need to navigate the online/digital world. Their products are robust, but still user-friendly to people with less experience in changing technology. Their customer service is top-of-the-line, and they are transparent. [sensitive content hidden] and others are great at educating their customers about the industry and tips through their video series and podcast. You can tell they have a heart for the local church in all they do.

Cons:

Nucleus 2 is feature-rich, and it's constantly being updated (a good thing), but that makes it a little overwhelming to look at the scope of what's possible to do versus what we actually need to do. So it can be daunting to start out, but the help articles are very thorough.

Nucleus is the best Church Website platform!

Comments: One of the best experience with Nucleus has been the ability to create a form for people to respond & sign up for events, etc. We also like that it allowed us to create a one-stop site for people to connect with us and us with them.

Pros:

I like the way the end product looks: we have a functional website that is easy for people to navigate and find out the information they are looking for. The card-based design results in a very user-friendly and device-adaptable format. It is adaptable to almost any situation that we need to either post information or to gather responses. Nucleus is easy to learn to use, and the customer support is fantastic. They are always right there to help us solve a technical issue. We are charter 'members', and have loved it from Day 1.

Cons:

I don't like that I can't use the Sermon Engine (Library) locations as the link to a Sermon Page/Card - I have to store the audio file off site, copy/paste that URL, etc. Since Sermon Engine is a direct upload of the audio file, why can't it be the source on a Sermon Card. When I post the weekly sermon, it involves creating 3 different web pages: the storage website, the Nucleus Sermon Card, and the Nucleus Sermon Engine. Watching for better integration in the future.

Great Product

Pros:

Nucleus is by far my favorite web service for my church. We have tried clover, faith life, square space, Wix, and others [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN] and his team have done an incredible job! They also have free social posts every month, lots of b-role for sermon videos (free), and a really really good sermon hosting page! Plus they are not done. They keep rolling out features!! The back end of the website is super simple and easy to navigate. You would be wise to go with them for sure.

Cons:

No cons we did not experience anything we did not like

Literally among the best platforms out there!

Comments: Nucleus has taken our site and social engagement to levels I didn’t think were possible.

Pros:

Site creation is beautiful and easy. Nucleus is always innovating and staying current with the industry trends and needs

Cons:

I sat here trying to think of a con...I don’t have one.

Easy

Comments: Exceptional. It's simple to use and when we do have a question we have received quick and thorough responses.

Pros:

It's super intuitive. It has high functionality and accomplishes our goals as a church.

Cons:

It could be a little more flexible in design features.

Nucleus

Comments: A committed volunteer can set-up and maintain a website.

Pros:

Ease of use, anyone with average computer skills can set-up and maintain a website with a giving platform, sermon audio, video, podcast, and notes. Plus you will receive daily social media posts that can be shared with on your social media sites.

Cons:

There are less expensive alternatives but after a year of reviewing, trying, and comparing Nucleus to other website builders. We chose Nucleus.

Amazing product

Comments: The customer service that I receive is outstanding. They reply quickly and go out of their way to make sure that all of my questions and concerns are answered and problems are solved!

Pros:

Easy to use, high-quality software, and has increased traffic for our institution by more than 10 times.

Cons:

There is less customization then I would like but that also benefits our team because it’s easy to maintain. It’s not really much of a con

Nucleus

Comments: Their customer service is excellent. They are constantly updating the software making more things available to give customers more options.

Pros:

Nucleus is super easy to use. Even if you don't know anything about website design its easy. I love the drag and drop and the templates that are available.

Cons:

Since it is so easy to use, there isn't much flexibility in what you can do. Its very cookie cutter but it looks really clean.
