Add a member
Record a new member in ChurchVex — the details you can store, and what happens when you reach your plan's member limit.
- Who can do this
- Anyone whose role can create members, such as the Church Admin or Secretary.
- Go to Members → All Members.
- Choose Add member.
- Fill in the form. It has four parts:
- Basic info — first and last name, gender, date of birth and marital status are required. Middle name and preferred name are optional.
- Church info — the date they joined (required), and baptism and confirmation dates if you have them.
- Contact — phone, email, address, city and occupation, all optional.
- Emergency contact — a name and phone number, optional.
- Save. ChurchVex gives the member a member number, which they can use to check in.
A phone number is worth adding: members can check in with it, and it’s how SMS reaches them.
Finding members later
On Members → All Members, search by name, member number or phone number, and filter by department or status. To download the list as a spreadsheet, choose Export.
Your member limit
Each plan has a member limit. ChurchVex warns you as you approach it, and allows a small margin above it. Beyond that margin you can’t add new members until you move to a larger plan. Nobody already recorded is affected. See Change or cancel your plan.
