It’s July - and as we head into the summer months, it's a good time to look back on the second quarter of 2026. We've been busy adding new features to help you keep your church organised and effective, and we've also rounded up some useful external articles we hope will encourage and equip you in the season ahead.
A fresh new design for ChurchSuite
We've launched a fresh new design for ChurchSuite, now available for everyone to try. The update brings a cleaner side navigation, smarter search, breadcrumbs, customisable dashboard widgets, and refreshed pages throughout the system. It's designed to help you move around ChurchSuite quickly and intuitively. Find out more on our blog: A fresh new design for ChurchSuite
A brand-new email compose experience
We've also introduced a brand-new email compose experience that's clearer, faster and more powerful. It features a modern interface with helpful new tools and improved Parent/Carer options across modules. This update builds directly on the fresh design and makes creating and sending emails smoother and more enjoyable. Find out more on our blog: A brand-new email compose experience
New Statements section in Giving
We've added a dedicated Statements section in the Giving module that makes producing and sending donation statements simpler, more secure and more flexible. You can now generate individual or bulk statements with greater ease, helping you communicate clearly and professionally with your givers. Find out more on our blog: New Statements section in Giving
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: Ongoing Updates: 19th February - 17th June 2026
