People

One place for everyone in your church.

Know every person, not just their name: who they are, where they serve, and what’s happened with them.

A person’s Overview: contact details, Member Status with a member since date, ministries and next step.Demo data

One record per person

Each person has one record with their contact details, household notes and how they like to be reached. The same record is used everywhere in Shepherds Inbox, so nothing gets typed in twice.

Member Status and “member since”

Record whether someone is a member and since when, as precisely as you know it (a year is fine). Admins can correct it, and every correction is kept in the history so you always know what changed.

  • Member Status history is visible to Admins only
  • Corrections are logged, never silently overwritten

Add one person, or import a spreadsheet

Add people one at a time (we check for duplicates first), or import a CSV, including one exported from Planning Center or other church software. Match the columns, review, and import. Changed your mind? Undo the import for 48 hours.

And export everyone as a CSV whenever you like.

Staff are people too

Staff and leaders are people in your church with a sign-in and a role (Admin or Staff). No separate user list to keep in sync.

Who can see what

Admins see and manage everything. Staff see everyone in People and act where they lead.

Activity on each person

Every contact, note, handoff and change shows on the person, so the next leader knows the story.

Questions about People

Can I bring my people from other church software?

Yes. Export a CSV from the software you use now (for example, Planning Center) and import it here. There’s no live sync, so changes after the import aren’t copied automatically.

Who counts as a person for pricing?

Everyone in People, including staff. More on pricing.

Can I get my data out?

Yes. Admins can export everyone in People as a CSV at any time.

Know every person, not just their name.
