I'm not sure what you mean by manage but Ubuntu has a Christian Edition that may have the kind of software you are looking for

Hi folks,


Application:-

For churches tracking members, families, groups, pledges, church expenditure, church calendar, activities, bible study, notification, cross-church forum, etc. all on web base.

In a parish there are many churches. Each church can set up its server serving its own members. But how to consolidate them to Bishop's office under central management needs to find a solution.

I have been thinking to use CRM, most of them on web base. For consolidating them I can use virtualization, either allowing each church maintaining its own CRM running on VM or making use of virtual hosting.


However in another thought if there are existing software I need not to reinvent a wheel. On googling I found;

Church Info
ChurchInfo open source church database created with PHP & MySQL! - ChurchInfo open source church database created with PHP & MySQL!

ChurchLedger
ChurchLedger.com - Provider of Church Management Systems
Church Management and Church Website Hosting

Jethro Pastoral Ministry Manager

Web Based Church Information Management
Web Based Church Information Management | Get Web Based Church Information Management at SourceForge.net

etc.


However none of them seems to be my ultimate target. Therefore I start to post my searching. Thanks

It's not specific to churches but something like EGroupware might fit the bill.
