Your site comes with a Member Area
Members sign in to one Member Area on your church website. Everything in it feeds the same ServeWay™ records your staff already use, so there's nothing to copy over and nothing to keep in sync.
Church Directory
Members find each other's contact details, kept up to date from ServeWay™.
Prayer Requests
Members share requests and see the church prayer list.
Events RSVP
Members say they're coming, and staff see the count in ServeWay™.
Groups
Members see the groups they belong to.
Serving
Members see where and when they're serving.
NEWCanvass
Team leaders see their streets on a phone and tap each door's result. Prayer and visit requests go straight into ServeWay™ as Prospects.
Polls
Ask members a question and see the answers.
Church Calendar
Members see what's coming up at church.
Class Count
Teachers enter attendance from a phone.
Member Documents
Files that only signed-in members can open.
Safe, simple sign-in
Members sign in with their name and password. The website uses the same two-step sign-in setting as the ServeWay™ app: if a person turned on two-step sign-in in the app, the website asks for their authenticator code too, after their name and password are correct. Same login, same protection, on both.
The code box appears only after a correct name and password, and only for people who turned on two-step sign-in. If a member gets locked out, your staff can reset them.
Member pages come with the ServeWay™ app and need your ServeWay™ database hosted online (Hosted by ServeWay™ or with a third-party hosting provider). A database on a single PC can't power member pages. Start your free 45-day trial, then try the member features in our live demo.
