Keeping track of people's information can be done in many ways, but sharing that information and keeping it updated can be hard for one Admin. We make people management easy and fully free forever, no matter how many people you have.
Our People product is a great way to organize and manage information for the people in your church, and it's completely free for unlimited information. You can add as many profiles to your People database as you want, and you can use lists, workflows, notes, and forms without limits.
Church Center and forms make it easy for new visitors to create profiles for themselves and even for existing members in your congregation to update their profile data, so you always have the most up-to-date information.
All churches have events, and you need a place to create and share them. All the avenues listed below filter into Church Center, where people can see a full calendar of events!
Calendar is a great tool for managing all your events. It is priced by the number of rooms you'll be scheduling, and the free tier comes with one room. You can create unlimited events as well as unlimited resources. To populate your calendar, you can import calendar feeds and then share your events without restrictions!
With Registrations, you can have people sign up for free or paid events while collecting necessary information about them. You can have up to five registered attendees for your largest event each month. All other features are unrestricted, and you can create as many signups as you like.
