Extending the Platform

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

MinistryPlatform can be extended 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, our robust API can be used to create entirely custom applications for web and desktop!

MinistryPlatform Features

There are many customizations that can be made 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, Sub-Pages, and Views.

SQL and Database Topics

The Platform is built as an abstraction on top of SQL Server, so many SQL skills and features are directly useable in the Platform.

Application Development

The Platform supports a robust api so the system can be extended through custom application development.

Custom Reports

The system may also be extended by creating custom Reports. The reports can be fully integrated so they can be launched 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 who have experience building software using our API. That makes it easier to get going and increases the likelihood of success.
