It would be great if this program had a online giving solution.
Some of the members in my church would like to give online. Would it be possible to integrate a online giving solution into CMO and on the Me.Church page and a Website plugin.

Mailing labels
I would like to be able to pull up a list of household/individuals and be able to click on the names I need address labels for. I would waste too many labels printing addresses I don't need with the filtering system you have in place.

Mass Text Messaging
Since you offer mass emailing, is it possible to incorporate mass text messages, too. Pastor wants to use this company http://mobile-text-alerts.com; however, I would like to encourage the use of one all-inclusive church management system.

A quick way to change the same field on a number of records at the same time.
It would be great if you could check a number of records to change the same field at the same time for each. For example choose 20 people to move from "Member" to 'voting member' all at once. It is very time consuming to change the records one at a time.

Single page / summary receipt
For contribution by individual/household report, include the option to show the date range used and totals by category and grand total. This would save paper and postage by eliminating potentially multiple pages of detail for a person (which they could still access on their me. login if they want to see it).

Receipt message
For contribution by individual/household report, include the option to enter a message to the contributer. This could be used to include the IRS required verbage, thank you, pertinant info, etc.

Boxes to tick when creating new groups
Hi there - I think it would be really helpful, for when creating new ministries and adding people from the database to that ministry, that if you had boxes down the side of the names that you could tick, and select to put into that ministry. Rather than having to go into each individual and assign a ministry to that person. This would save A LOT of time and would make the use of the database a lot more efficient. Would also be handy if you could flick through the list and it tells you what ministry they have been… more

Contact Management System for Visiting
I believe that the church as whole becomes a whole lot more efficient when they can easily have accountability in its visitation system. . It's important that you I as a pastor and others work on managing people since they are all importnat. If I want to participate in God's means of expanding his kingdom, it is essential that I gain the competency to provide world class care for every visitor to our church. I would like a system that would assign visitors to connection partners and track their progress in connecting them to the church.

Service Attendance Unique Attenders MonthlyTotal
I noticed that the service attendance numbers for the month are totaling the number for each week, and giving the inflated number, not the individual attenders. For example if, on March 18th, 220 people attend and March 25th, 214 people attend, it give a total attendance for March as 434. This is not a true picture of attendance, and it would be better to have unique attenders totaled for the month, instead a total number week after week.

Logon Data
A valuable feature feature would be the ability for both the administrator and pastor to access a logon record. This is to see who has logged on and the activity that was performed while they were on.

Child Check-In System
A full featured check-in system would be a great addition to Church Membership Online. High level features would include:
- Ability to quickly check in children for Sunday School classes
- Ability to look up children and families by name or last 4 digits of phone numbers
- Ability to print out check-in labels for children, with matching labels for the parents to use to drop off/pick up children securely
- Ability to add new families / children quickly during check in process
- Automatic generation of unique three character code each week for children so alerts can be displayed… more7 votes -
Calendar emailing
I would like to suggest adding a feature where when a new meeting is added to the calendar you have the option to email the attendees or send an automatic email reminder the day before of of the meeting.

Mailing Labels - sort/print alphabetically by last name
At present, mailing labels are sorted and printed out by zip code. It would be very useful to have the option of printing out mailing labels alphabetically by last name.
Alphabetical arrangement would make the matching of mailing labels for envelopes with the correct year-end contribution reports much easier (assuming window envelopes cannot be used).

Add edit option to new individual contribution table
When adding individual contributions, the information is listed below in a table. Please add an 'Edit' link next to each entry to quickly fix an error.

ungroup active email addresses in household directory
Currently individual email addresses in the household directory are active allowing users to send emails when using the directory. This works well when there is only one email listed. When there is more than one, it's impossible to select the address you want. The email ends up being populated with all of them--it then becomes a group email. In data entry, email addresses are linked to individuals, not households. While some household data is shared, like home home phone, some is not, like email addresses. So from a user perspective it would be very helpful if the email addresses were… more

Pastor's calendar
From church administrator's standpoint, I would love to see a separate Pastor's calendar just for church administrative purposes (i.e. it shouldn't be visible to church membership) where I could track and schedule Pastor's speaking engagements, counseling sessions, places to attend, etc. and he could always be able to check his schedule from wherever he is. It would make so much easier to coordinate and keep his busy schedule on track.

Add date field when creating a new individual to when first time or returning visitor type is selected
When entering a new individual form for first time visitor it would be great if a date field is enabled to allow me to immediately take attendance for that visitor. Currently, when a first time visitor arrives at our service, we have to first create an individual record for them, then we have to go to the attendance area to mark them present for the service. The fact that person is first time visitor means that we need to mark present for service so would be great if process was streamlined.

Double window envelope for contribution reports
I wanted to thank you for getting the contributions report reformatting for use with a double window envelope. Most people will use a #9 double window envelope. While there are a number of window size/spacing options available depending on the manufacturer, I might suggest the following changes to make the return and mailing address spacing on the contributions report fit better to most of the commonly available double window envelopes:
Return address: move upward 2 lines (about ¼ inch), and to the left 3/8 inch. Another way to say this: margin of 1” from top and 3/4” from left.

customize member type field
The current member type field list doesn't fully meet the needs of our congregation so having option to customize/add to this field would be great. It is understood that fields needed for account status such as "Archive" would be non-customizable.
