Abstract

In the rapidly evolving information age, technology plays an important role in improving the efficiency of data management, including in church institutions. The Church, as a religious institution with an important role in the spiritual and social life of the people, often faces challenges in financial management, especially in recording congregation donations, operational expenses, and making transparent and accurate financial statements. Good financial management is needed to ensure accountability and transparency, as well as facilitate reporting to the congregation and other related parties. GKS Palindi, a church in Kawangu District with 335 congregations, faces problems in the financial recording system that is still manual using books. This causes data corruption, which risks disrupting the smooth flow of the financial management process. Therefore, this church needs the implementation of a technology-based information system that can facilitate the recording and management of financial transactions efficiently, especially for the six main posts: tithe, thanksgiving, part (household worship), monthly dependents, offerings, and miscellaneous posts. With this system, the church can reduce the potential for human error, monitor cash flow more easily, and provide more accurate and timely financial reports. The right information system can help GKS Palindi in maintaining the continuity of church operations and increasing the congregation's trust in the transparency of financial management. The system development method used is Rapid Application Development (RAD), which allows the creation of a system quickly and responsively to user needs. The implementation of a technology-based recording system is expected to overcome existing problems, as well as support the smooth running of church activities in the long term.
