A Summary of the Member App Screen, which is accessed by texting ME to your Text-To-Church number, being invited to a Volunteer Schedule, using the emailed app invitation, or logging into the Online Account to view or make a donation.
Anytime a person in your database accesses Churchteams to donate, respond to, or view their volunteer schedule, they will be accessing the Churchteams Member App, whether it is saved to their phone or not, because it is a progressive web app. A progressive web app is a software application that can be used directly in a web browser or installed on your device, allowing the end user to opt for installing or just viewing online.
The Member App home screen features
After linking to and opening the Member App home screen, an Install App button will appear t the top of the screen unless it was previously added to your phone's Home screen.
Installing the app is simple.
On an iPhone, click the Install App button, then use the shortcut icon (looks like a square with an up arrow) to add the app to your Home screen. You will have an option to rename the app.
On an Android, click the Install App button, then in the pop-up window, click Install.
You can learn more about the App Installation here.
The Check-In button will only appear when a Check-in session is open. Families can use this to check in the whole family.
Opening the Giving menu allows a person to make a one-time donation, set up recurring donations, and manage their account.
The Manage menu in the Giving section of the App allows you to review previous donations, edit your account password, and download a contribution statement.
Recurring contributions can be edited by clicking the Manage Settings menu from the Giving section of the App.
The Volunteer Schedule menu allows you to view your previous and upcoming volunteer schedules, add block-out dates to the calendar, view pending volunteer invitations, and see accepted and declined opportunities.
The Pending, Accepted, Declined, and Full volunteer dates to which you have been invited each show in their own expandable menu.
The Household icon located at the top of the Schedule section allows a household member to switch between their own volunteer schedule to that of another member of the same household. This makes it convenient for spouses to respond to volunteer invitations for each other.
When switching to another member of your household's schedule, their name will appear in the Schedule menu bar to prevent confusion. You can only view one person's schedule at a time.
The Groups menu, when expanded, shows Groups in which you are a Leader. Groups you are in but do not lead will not show in this section.
Group Leaders can open a group they lead by clicking the name of the group.
The check box icon allows the Group Leader to take attendance.
The X icon records a date that a group did not meet. This indicates that attendance is not missing; the group just did not meet at the regular interval.
The calendar icon allows you to create a volunteer schedule for this group.
When expanded, the Events section displays Upcoming Events first, followed by My Events (events you are already registered for), if any, and then Upcoming Events that are open for registration.
The Resources section is where you will find links to resources your church or non-profit organization has added to the App.
An online directory will only appear here if your church has opted to make that information available. Each organization customizes what is available in this section.
The Contact Preferences section is where you can indicate your communication preferences.
Check the box for any Email Lists you would like to be subscribed to or use the Opt Out button to unsubscribe from all mass emails. After opting out, a person can/will still receive emails generated from within the Group (by the Group Leader, for example), as those are considered personal communications rather than mass.
You can also update your mobile carrier in this section to ensure you continue to receive texts in a timely manner after changing.
