Everything in ChurchVex, plainly described

• Member records with contact details, baptism and confirmation dates, emergency contact and notes
• Search by name, member number or phone number
• Log first-time visitors, record follow-ups, and convert a visitor to a member when they're ready
• A senior members register — everyone at or above the age you choose, oldest first, for pastoral visiting
• Birthdays list, member transfers between churches, and an export of your member list (CSV)

• Open a session for a service or meeting, then check members in
• QR check-in — members scan a code with their own phone and enter their member number or phone number, no login needed
• Kiosk mode — a tablet or laptop at the door where ushers search and tap to check someone in
• Manual check-in from the session page, with a live present and absent list
• Department sessions for a department's own meetings
• Attendance reports and trends

• Record tithes against a member (or a named person who is not a member yet) and offerings (named or anonymous), with envelope numbers if you use them
• Record expenses against your own categories
• Welfare and department dues — the digital replacement for the welfare book — with arrears and member statements
• Dues are kept as restricted funds, reported apart from church income, so the income figure is tithes and offerings only and every report shows how the two add up
• Fundraising campaigns, with progress shown against a target if you set one
• Online giving by mobile money or card (Ghana), processed by a licensed payment provider — card and mobile money details never reach ChurchVex
• Recording money takes the Treasurer or Senior Pastor role, so who handles the church's money is a decision you make

Online giving by mobile money or card is available to churches in Ghana today, with more countries to come. Everything else here — recording, dues, campaigns and reports — works wherever your church is, in your own currency.

• SMS and email to all members, a department, or specific phone numbers
• Your church's own SMS sender name (subject to approval)
• Automated messages — birthday greetings, dues reminders, the weekly service and events SMS and more — each with its own on/off switch, showing how many members it reaches and what it costs
• Pastoral messages wait for your church's sending hours (by default 8am to 7pm, not on Sundays), and members can opt out
• Reusable message templates and a log of every message sent

SMS is paid for with credits your church buys in ChurchVex.

• Departments with members, heads and sub-groups
• Department attendance sessions, department dues and a chat channel for each department
• Age bands for children's and youth ministries — new members are placed by age, and when someone grows out of a band ChurchVex suggests the move for a leader to approve. No one is moved automatically.

• Three certificate designs, with your logo, in a choice of six colours and three typefaces
• The certificate states the member's offices and departments, in your denomination's own titles
• Former members receive a certificate of former membership with the period they belonged
• Every certificate carries a reference your church office can look up to confirm it is genuine
• Issued by church staff only

• Finance reports — weekly, monthly, annual and by department — with restricted funds shown apart from income
• Attendance, events and asset reports
• A PDF of any report screen, with your church's logo, who produced it and when — it always shows exactly what the screen shows
• CSV exports for members and attendance; PDF receipts and member dues statements

• Set up the way your denomination is organised, using its own titles — a Methodist church sees a Circuit and a Circuit Superintendent, not a District and a District Pastor
• Leaders get an overview of the churches under them; each office holder sees only what their office allows
• Reports from local churches, and announcements sent down to them
• Handovers are recorded: when an office changes hands, the previous holder's access ends at once

• Create events and see them on a list or a calendar
• Members register; you approve registrations and mark who attended
• Reminders before the event, by SMS and in the app
