Extending the Platform

Build additional pages, sub-pages, views, reports, and more within MinistryPlatform.

You can extend MinistryPlatform in a variety of ways. With our open architecture database format, you can create custom tables and fields in your database without impacting upgrades and customizations. Additionally, you can use our robust API to create entirely custom applications for web and desktop!

MinistryPlatform Features

There are many customizations that you can make to the Platform without writing any code. The Platform is built to make this extension easy and automatic. The user interface is driven by an intuitive model of with Sections, Pages, Tabs (Sub-Pages), and Views.

SQL and Database Topics

The Platform is built as an abstraction on top of SQL Server, so you can use many SQL skills and features in the Platform.

Application Development

The Platform supports a robust API so you can extend the system through custom application development.

Custom Reports

You can also create custom reports to extend the system. The reports can be fully integrated so you can launch them directly from the Platform with or without Selections.

We Can Help!

Our goal is to see churches and third parties succeed in building applications that meet a ministry need without creating a separate database. We can recommend a few third-party developers with experience building software using our API. That makes it easier to get going and increases the likelihood of success.
