Anyone who can manage People Open in WorshipHQ
  1. 1Go to People and choose Add member (on the Teens or Children tab the button says Add teen or Add child).
  2. 2Fill in the form. First and last name are required; which other fields appear depends on your church's form (see Choose what your forms ask for).
  3. 3Under Department, tap every department they belong to. Members can be in several.
  4. 4If your church uses zones or fellowships, choose them in the boxes below.
  5. 5Optionally set a Leadership label (e.g. Elder, Deacon), tick Featured on dashboard, and choose the Membership status.
  6. 6For the photo, choose Take a photo to open the phone's own camera (portrait mode and the other camera features work, and you come straight back to the form) or Upload to pick one from the gallery. You can crop it before saving.
  7. 7Choose Add member.

After saving, you're offered fingerprint registration. Do it now, or choose Skip for now and do it later from their profile.

Each member automatically gets a unique member ID (e.g. GBC-0001). It's used for QR code check-in.
Your plan limits how many members you can have. If you reach it, you'll be asked to upgrade.
