Web-based GKS Papindung Congregation Data Management Information System

Sumba Christian Church (GKS) Jemaat Papindung which is one of the churches in Pandawai District, Mauliru Village, East Sumba Regency, which was established on September 07, 2009, which at that time was still a branch of GKS Mauliru, which was later divided in 2021, becoming GKS Papindung until now. The Sumba Christian Church (GKS) Papindung congregation faces obstacles in the congregation data management system, which was previously recorded manually using the congregation's master book. The loss of the congregation data book in 2021 caused difficulties in re-recording, given the large number of congregants, namely 490 people. The main problems faced are difficulties in searching and grouping data, inconsistency in recording, and the risk of data loss or damage. This research aims to design and develop a web-based congregation data management information system to improve the efficiency and accuracy of data recording. This system was developed using the Waterfall method with PHP, MySQL, and HTML technologies. Testing is done using the Black Box method to ensure the accuracy of system functionality. The test results show that this system can assist the church secretary in managing congregational data more effectively, as well as facilitate the pastor in viewing and exporting congregational data as needed.
