Perancangan Aplikasi Manajemen Keuangan Gereja Berbasis Website

Abstract

Background: Many churches still use manual or semi-digital methods for financial recording, which are prone to errors, inefficiencies, and lack transparency. This hinders accountability and openness to the congregation. Objective: This study aims to develop a web-based church financial management application that is flexible and can be used by various churches without being tied to any specific institution. Method: The application was developed using the Rapid Application Development (RAD) method, employing technologies such as Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Prisma, and Clerk. The system is designed to allow users to customize income and expense categories according to each church's unique needs. Results: The application was successfully built with features including financial transaction recording, customizable category management, interactive dashboards, and financial data visualization. Conclusion: The application provides ease and flexibility in church financial management, supports transparency and efficiency, and opens opportunities for future enhancements in data management features.
