For the Memberships team

One church, one honest count.

Your team keeps the church's answer to the simplest hard question: who is here? Cendance gives every person one record, keeps households together, moves visitors toward membership with welcome flows that run themselves, and holds the counts true while members update their own details.

Built for membership teams, church administrators, and whoever keeps the directory honest.

How it works

The week, start to finish.

New names land on real records.

A first-timer fills the visitor card, a family checks in, and by the time you sit down there is a profile for each of them. The visitor card matches an existing record or creates a new one, so nobody gets typed in twice and nobody gets lost in a stack of paper cards. Households keep the family together from their very first visit.

  • Forms feed People. A response lands on the matching profile, and the visitor card creates one for someone brand new.
  • One record. Check-ins, giving, group membership, and form answers land on the same person.
  • Households from day one. Parents and children stay linked, with shared addresses kept together.

And more

More for the Memberships team.

Guided importer

Bring your old list through the import wizard: match your columns, preview, and review before anything lands.

Fine-grained access

Deny-by-default access means staff see only what their role grants, down to individual areas of the product.

Birthdays, year optional

Capture a birthday with or without the year, for the people who would rather not say.

Segments go to work

Point an email campaign at a segment and it follows the live list, so the audience is never a stale export.

People reports

Growth, engagement, and connection measured over any range, with the at-risk check-in list ready to export.

Member app invites

Invite the congregation into the Eden member app with an email that is already written.

Questions

Asked and answered.

Can we bring our current membership list with us?

Yes. The guided importer takes a spreadsheet from your current system, lets you match your columns to Cendance fields, and shows you exactly what will land. You review everything before it goes in, and households can be linked from each record once your people are home.

Do we have to change membership levels by hand?

You can, it is one field on the record, but you do not have to: an automation can move someone when a milestone lands, such as a fifth check-in, and a level change can itself start a welcome email or a follow-up.

What does this cost?

The membership work itself, records, households, segments, levels, and the importer, lives in Cendance People, which costs nothing. Start free with People and add Connect, which comes with a paid Cendance plan, when you want welcome emails and campaigns.
