ChurchTools

ChurchTools is the perfect app for your church community. You can use it to get the latest info, keep an eye on dates, confirm or decline your assignments and much more. To use the app, you first need access to ChurchTools.

POSTS
Posts enable your church community to share information about congregational topics at any time and from anywhere. This means you know more about each other and it is easier for people in your church to stay informed and get involved. It also opens up another way to reach those who are not yet in your congregation.

EVENTS
Service assignments are brought to your mobile phone by push. You can confirm, decline and comment on them.
For example, if you are leading a church service or event, or simply volunteering, you can easily read the agenda of the event by using the app. Furthermore, you can see with whom you are assigned to a for an event or service. At the tab Discover you will find more future events.

PEOPLE
With the search in Discover you can find people and contact them directly. It also displays additional information such as relationships and tags. And for sure, you can upload a nice new picture for your own profile.

GROUPS
Find interesting public groups within your church community and register directly.
All other groups that are visible to you will be listed and with the appropriate permission you can also view the participants of the group.

CHAT
From now on you can use the app to chat with individual people, with all members in a specific event or, for example, with your small group. You can create news channels in which only people with a specific role can write, all others have read-only access.
Furthermore, the chat allows you to send pictures and documents.
