Moving from spreadsheets to parish software
How to move parish records from spreadsheets into parish software: clean the data, import families, and roll out to staff and members.
Clean the sheet first
Remove duplicates, add country codes to phone numbers, and make sure each person has a family.
Import in one go
Import families and members from the sheet, then review anything flagged.
Roll out to staff, then members
Give ward leaders access first so they can check their families, then invite members to the app.
Church membership software that keeps every family in view
Replace spreadsheets and paper registers with one membership record for every person and family, organised by ward and kept current by members themselves.
