Add and Manage Church Members

The Members module gives your church one organized place to maintain member and contact information.

Before you begin

You must have permission to access the Members module. The information you can view or modify may depend on your assigned role.

1. Open the Members module

1. Sign in to BlessChurch.
2. Select Members from the application menu.
3. Review the existing member directory.

2. Add a member

1. Select Add Member.
2. Enter the person’s name and available contact information.
3. Complete any additional profile fields that apply.
4. Review the information for accuracy.
5. Save the member profile.

3. Edit a member profile

1. Open the Members module.
2. Find the member you want to update.
3. Open the member’s profile.
4. Edit the necessary information.
5. Save your changes.

4. Find a member

Use the search and available filters to locate a person without reviewing the entire directory manually.

Searching by part of a name, email address, or phone number can help you find the correct record.

5. Avoid duplicate profiles

Before adding a new member, search the directory to confirm that the person does not already have a profile.

If a duplicate exists, update the original profile instead of creating another one.

6. Protect member information

• Only collect information your church genuinely needs.
• Do not place confidential pastoral, financial, or medical notes in general profile fields.
• Give administrative access only to trusted team members.
• Verify information before making corrections or deleting records.

7. Member limits

The number of member records available to your church may depend on its BlessChurch subscription plan.

If the account reaches its limit, an authorized administrator can review the current plan under Billing.

Helpful tip

Establish a consistent format for names, phone numbers, and addresses. Consistent records are easier to search and maintain.
