This is the starting point — the experience your church members will have. Try the Staff and Admin walkthroughs after this one to see additional capabilities.

The Member Experience

Church members get a streamlined, distraction-free interface. No admin menus, no configuration — just the tools they need:

1

Your Personal Dashboard

~2 min
Log in at the URL above. You'll land on the Dashboard — the member's home base.
Welcome tab: Quick actions (edit profile, join a group, view schedule, give feedback), upcoming events, and church info (service times, address, website).
My Info tab: View and edit your own profile information — name, contact details, and photo.
Notice the difference: Members don't see an Admin tab. The sidebar is simplified with only the pages relevant to them. This keeps the interface clean and focused.
2

Browse Upcoming Events

~2 min
Navigate: Click Events in the sidebar.
Calendar views: Browse upcoming events in Month, Week, Day, or Agenda view. Click any event to see details like description, time, and location.
What you're seeing: Members see the same rich calendar as staff, but without create/edit buttons. Events linked to forms will show a registration link. Registered events appear highlighted.
3

Make a Donation

~3 min
Navigate: Click Give in the sidebar.
Demo note: Giving is view-only in the demo. Payment processing (Stripe, PayPal, etc.) is disabled because it connects to live payment accounts. You can browse the Give page and see how funds and payment methods are configured, but transactions cannot be submitted.
Give page: See available giving options. The platform supports multiple payment methods — Stripe (credit/debit cards), PayPal, Venmo, CashApp, bank transfer, and more depending on the church's configuration.
Recurring giving: Set up automatic recurring donations on a weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly schedule. View and manage active recurring gifts.
What you're seeing: Each church configures their own payment processors and giving funds. Members can designate gifts to specific funds (General, Missions, Building, etc.) and choose their preferred payment method.
4

View Your Giving History

~2 min
Navigate: Click My Giving in the sidebar.
Donation history: See all your past donations with dates, amounts, funds, and payment methods. Filter by date range.
Recurring gifts: View active and paused recurring gift subscriptions. Manage frequency and amounts.
Demo note: The giving history shown here is sample data. In a live environment, this page displays the member's actual donation records and recurring gift subscriptions.
Privacy: Members only see their own giving data. Staff and Admin accounts with broader permissions can see aggregate giving reports.
5

Find & Join a Small Group

~2 min
Navigate: Click Small Groups in the sidebar.
Browse groups: See available small groups with their descriptions, meeting times, locations, and leaders.
Join a group: Click Request to Join on any open group. The group leader will be notified and can approve your request.
What you're seeing: Small groups support three join modes: Open (instant join), Request (leader approval), and Closed (invite only). Members can view their groups, see attendance, and communicate with fellow group members.
6

Try the Mobile App

~2 min
Mobile experience: Everything you see on the web is also available via the mobile app for iOS and Android. The same login credentials work on mobile.
Mobile features: The app includes check-in (with biometric authentication), giving, small groups, media/sermons, and push notifications.
For the demo: The mobile app is available on the App Store and Google Play. Members typically use the mobile app for quick check-in on Sunday mornings and the web for everything else.
