Know every member by name.

Registers in exercise books, a spreadsheet per ministry, and no one sure which phone number is current. PillarAid keeps one living record for every member and family, with roles that decide exactly who sees what.

Members list with search, filters and member status

How it goes through the week.

Members, families and church offices, with privacy built in.

  1. 9:00am

    Bring your list

    Monday. Import your existing spreadsheet. PillarAid spots duplicates and lets you merge them.
  2. 8:30am

    Let people join

    Sunday. Put the QR join poster at the entrance. Newcomers register themselves on their phone.
  3. 11:00am

    Set who sees what

    Monday. Give each role only what it needs. Members choose what the directory shows about them.

Families, not just names.

Link spouses, children and relatives once. Family check-in and giving statements just work, and a child's record stays with their family.

Senior Pastor to Deaconess, the way your church names them.

Start from a template for your tradition (General, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, Methodist or Charismatic), then rename or add offices. Terms, branches and history are kept for every appointment.

Senior Pastor

Pastor Kwame Asante

Pastor role

Ordained ministry

  • Associate Pastor
  • Youth Pastor

Lay officers

  • Elders
  • Deacons
  • Deaconesses

Administration

  • Church Secretary
  • Treasurer

Holding an office doesn't give anyone app access. Access comes from the role you assign: an Elder can be on the list without ever signing in.

Everything in People.

A member's profile with weeks attended, ministries, contact details and the last 12 weeks of attendance
Households & families
Link spouses, children and relatives so family check-in and giving statements just work.
Church offices
Senior, Associate and Branch Pastors, Elders, Deacons, Deaconesses. Templates for Generic, Church of Pentecost, Presbyterian, Methodist and Charismatic churches.
Segments
Build lists like “youth who joined this year” once and reuse them for messages and reports.
Duplicate merge
Two records for the same person? Merge them and keep the history of both.
Opt-in directory
Members decide if they appear and which details are shown. Nothing is public by default.
Roles & privacy
Ushers, treasurers, ministry leaders and pastors each see only what their role allows.

One record, from first visit to faithful member

The newcomer who scanned the join poster, the family that checks in together, the elder with a term of office: it's one living record, kept current by the people themselves.
