I've used quickbooks for invoicing members of a civic association for dues 
and assessments. By memorizing invoices and setting up transaction groups for 
periodic posting, we are able to send invoices for specific "pledges" if you 
will.
Try setting up a receivable account for anticipated revenues. Make an invoice 
for each member "customer" using a prepared transaction like "MONTHLY PLEDGE" 
or whatever. Run the invoices when due. You can then track who is paying 
at.
You'll have to decide when to kill unpaid invoices, and you will need to run 
reports on the cash basis. Set up detail in your chart of accounts to afford 
tracking of kind of receipts, i.e. CONTRIBUTIONS:Pledges
CONTRIBUTIONS:Love Offerings
CONTRIBUTIONS:Bishop's New Car Fund
etc.
