A digital home for every church

Each congregation gets its own private administration space, built to scale to denominations, franchises and multi-branch organisations. Members self-serve from their phones, and your team builds the register the way real churches do — one at a time at the welcome desk, or a whole spreadsheet at once.

  • Members self-register by QR code, or your team loads them by hand or by CSV — ID and phone optional, so a name is enough to get started
  • They keep their own contact details, address, marital status and anniversaries up to date
  • Birthdays, anniversaries, quiet members and anyone with details still missing surface on your dashboard — and members who move on can be marked inactive without losing their history

Print it once. Stick it in the foyer.

Your church gets a print-ready QR code that opens its own landing page. A first-time visitor scans it and registers on their phone in a minute — no app to download, nothing for your team to type in afterwards.

POPIA-conscious from the foundation

ID and passport numbers and bank account details are encrypted at rest with AES-256 — never stored as plain text. Password hashing, audit logging, CSRF protection, brute-force lockout and church-by-church data isolation come as standard, not as an upgrade.

Everything the church office runs on

Departments, meetings, church life, welfare, children's records and a full accounting module — built around how South African churches actually work, not a generic template stretched to fit.

  • Ministry departments members browse and apply to join with one tap
  • Bookable one-on-one meetings with email and SMS invitations
  • Full bookkeeping: income and expenses, customer invoices and statements, bank reconciliation, opening balances and Section 18A tax certificates

Everything your church office needs

One portal for your whole administration team, built around how South African churches actually run.

Church accounting

A full set of books in the same portal — income and expenses, customer invoices and statements, funds, opening balances and Section 18A certificates. Import your bank statement (FNB, ABSA and more), split one banked deposit across many givers, and capture on a fast grid that autosaves so you never lose a line.

Member registration

Members self-register with their SA ID number or passport — validated automatically, reviewed and approved by your team. Already have a congregation? Load your whole register from a spreadsheet, with or without ID numbers.

Welfare & care packs

Run a basic-needs donation drive with a built-in stock system — members pledge items, you track exactly what's still needed versus what's been received, and assemble care packs for delivery to elders and the community.

Activities & reminders

Run your calendar of services, cell groups and events with automated reminders.

Birthdays & anniversaries

Never miss a birthday or wedding anniversary — automatically tracked from each member's registration.

Training & sermon notes

Track discipleship training and publish weekly sermon notes for your members.

Newsletters

Keep your congregation informed with monthly newsletters, sent straight from your portal.

New in I-Church

Added over the past few weeks — and included in every plan. Payroll is the only optional extra, at R99/month.

People & Sunday

  • Sunday check-in Ushers tap members in at the door on a tablet or phone — live headcount, attendance history and an absent list for follow-up.
  • Visitors register First-time guests fill in a visitor card from the QR welcome page, kept apart from members until your team follows up.
  • Families & households Link spouses and children into one household; family members join up automatically when they register.
  • Richer member profiles Photos, tags, custom fields, skills and milestones such as baptism and membership class — plus a printable member list.
  • Invite by email or SMS Members your team loaded by hand get a registration link in one click, or all at once.
  • Multi-campus churches Assign members and Sunday check-ins to each campus and filter every list by campus.

Ministry & care

  • Home cells Groups with leaders, meeting attendance and division pastors who see only their own cells.
  • Geographical areas Members' addresses on a map, divided into equal areas you can turn into new home cells in one step.
  • Hospital & pastoral care A care register with visit logs, assigned carers and follow-up dates; members can ask for a visit from the app.
  • Pastoral notes A timeline of notes on members, households and groups — shared with the team, pastors only, or private.
  • Bible Battle A weekly timed Bible quiz for the youth, with practice runs, avatars and a leaderboard.

Communication

  • WhatsApp, SMS & email Message the whole church or one group from one screen — on your church's own WhatsApp number, with replies in one inbox.
  • Push notifications News and reminders pop up on members' phones, straight from the church app.
  • Automatic greetings Birthday and wedding-anniversary messages go out by themselves, in English or Afrikaans.
  • Installable app Members and your admin team install I-Church on their phone home screen — no app store needed.

Office, finance & safety

  • Reports hub 18 visual, printable reports on people, ministry, care and giving for any period.
  • Giving history & receipts Members see their own giving and download receipts and Section 18A certificates; receipts are e-mailed in your branding.
  • Smarter bookkeeping Bank statement import that flags duplicates, suppliers and bills, and a clear bank reconciliation.
  • Payroll add-on Employees, payslips, leave and South African tax tables, for R99/month extra.
  • Data Guard backups Encrypted backups of your church data, off-site copies on a schedule and a one-click restore.
