We're nearing the end of the year - time to take a moment to look back at some of the new features we launched in the last three months and share some other resources that we hope you'll find useful.
Check-In
Each month, hundreds of thousands of children are checked in to groups using our Connect check-in system. Over the years this has proved to be a reliable and useful tool, but we've felt the desire to improve on these foundations. On the back of customer feedback and our own experiences of using Connect in our churches, we've built a new check-in experience. Check-In is a stand-alone application that you'll find in the iOS App Store and the Android Play Store. It also runs in a browser and appears as an option when logging in.
Still using using our Connect check-in system? Then we'd encourage you to find out more about Check-In on our Blog: Child check-in is changing
Network module launch
We're pleased to be able to say that the new Network module is now available to our customers! The Network module provides relationship management for organisations within networks or denominations, so this will be of great interest to any denominations or other networks of organisations.

Tap to Donate
We're running a Beta program for our new Tap to Donate app, enabling in-person contactless donations. If you're interested in receiving contactless donations via an iPhone or Android device, please register your interest by contacting support@churchsuite.com
Ongoing updates
ChurchSuite is constantly evolving - we're always working on adding new functionality or further improving existing functionality. We keep you posted of these updates through your ChurchSuite account, and, every so often, on our blog. Why don't you scroll through our most recent "Ongoing updates" blog posts - we're really happy with all the progress that has been made!
Useful resources for churches
We're always on the lookout for helpful resources for churches, and we wanted to draw your attention to a couple of articles that we found that we thought you might find helpful!
4 Critical Roles of Church Administration
This article explores four ways in which church administration plays a critical role in the life of a church. The data and insight that a good church management system can provide can greatly facilitate this!
Why Christmas Matters
In this thoughtful article, published almost exactly one year ago, Tim Keller reflects on Christmas in a thought-provoking and moving way. It's definitely worthwhile taking the time to read this gem!
We hope you'll find some of this helpful and, as always, we'd love to hear how you are making use of ChurchSuite in your context!
