People & Families

The People module is the heart of ChurchManager. Every interaction — attendance, giving, follow-up, discipleship — ties back to a person record.

Key concepts

• Person record — Name, contact details, household, photo, tags, follow-up stage.
• Household — Group family members together for giving statements and event RSVPs.
• Follow-up stage — Where in the journey this person sits (First-timer, Connected, Integrated, Leader).
• Attendance history — Automatic log when check-in is used; manual entries supported.

Adding a person

1. Go to People → Add person
2. Enter first name, last name, and mobile number
3. Assign to a household (or create a new one)
4. Set the initial follow-up stage
