Not your spreadsheets.

Generate and print photo ID cards with a unique QR code for every member — professional, secure, and ready for check-in scanning.

Track the full member journey — from first visit to active member, group leader, or ministry volunteer. Never lose sight of where someone is.
Import your existing member list from any CSV file. In fact, you can migrate from Planning Center, Breeze, or a spreadsheet in minutes - not weeks.

Plan, manage, and promote
every church event.

See who received, opened, and engaged with every notification — so you know your messages are actually reaching your congregation.
Know who showed up.
Instantly. Automatically.

Every member has a unique QR code on their ID card. Simply scan at the door with any smartphone — attendance is recorded instantly, with no manual entry needed.
To make this work, ChurchCMS generates professional photo ID cards for every member. Print in-house on standard card stock — each card carries a unique QR code linked to their profile.
Automatically flag members who have been absent for two or more consecutive Sundays — so pastoral care can reach out before someone quietly drifts away.
Weekly, monthly, and annual attendance trends — total numbers, per-service breakdown, and individual member history all in one dashboard.

to the world.

Automatically generate a podcast RSS feed from your sermon library — members subscribe on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or any podcast app instantly.
Push a notification to all members the moment you go live — so even those who forgot it was Sunday get a reminder to join the service.
Church members in other cities, countries, and time zones can watch live or on demand — your congregation is no longer limited by geography.
Deepen community.
Strengthen pastoral care.

For more urgent needs, the Knock for Help feature sends a one-tap private message to pastoral leadership — ideal for members going through a crisis who need discreet, immediate support.
A private, church-owned community space in the app — members share testimonies, praise reports, and encouragement without the noise of social media.
Track every prayer request and follow-up action — so no request falls through the cracks and every member who reaches out gets a response.
Group messaging for each ministry team — choir, youth, ushers — in a private, organised channel that doesn't get lost in a WhatsApp group.
Members comment, react, and discuss the daily Bible verse in the app — turning a one-way notification into a daily moment of community connection.
