ChurchSuite

ChurchSuite is a great tool that we use as a church to help keep the church connected and informed. We use it to help manage:

  • Our church contact and address book
  • Calendar & events
  • Serving and ministry rotas

As a church member you have access to MyChurchSuite, which allows you to view and update and control your personal details, sign up to events and groups, and follow any serving rotas you are part of.
