What’s the best offline management software?

I am currently responsible of IT in my church and we would like to go electronically and leave paper behind. We’re looking for a software that can help on management of church. We certainly do not want to have to create one, but we want a ready to install software that we can download and purchase license for multiple users. If it’s free, much better.

Here is the core function we need: It has to be OFFLINE application. Internet is still a very expensive option in my country and we prefer not a web based solution. We want to be able to enter information such as: the attendance for any Sunday meeting, the number of visitors and the possibility to create lists of members with their contact details. It also has to be a database with User Access Controls.

If anyone has an info for me, I will really appreciate it. Thanks
