Church Center App

I am on staff at a large church in Arizona. We use this app to communicate with all of our volunteers (we call them different makers) - and for so many other things. Recently, I found a small bug in the app. I contacted support and got a reply in just a few hours. They reproduced the problem, and fixed it in their next update. I love this app for all the features. I love it even more for the great support from the development team behind it.

Luckily it was only $10, and not $300. But I tried paying with Pay, it loaded for almost a minute, I used my Apple Cash card, I get a notification of ten dollars made to my Church, yet Church Center and the Apple Pay UI said Payment Failed. But I look at my card balance and it took $10. Yet Church Center app still believes it to be unpaid. Also, side note, the UI could use a refresh, maybe with Liquid Glass in SwiftUI, consider a tool like Claude Code to try and help supercharge development.

This app woks better when you don't log in. As a guest you are able to skip the broken log in which doesn't work randomly. One church I was able to log in and see, the other I couldn't Iwas sent back to log in over and over. This app works as if it was someone's first class project. It doesn't work and it has little functionality.

At the beginning of this month (May 2026) All RSVP’s was visible for the first time for non group leaders up until today. It’s no longer visible. Looks like the latest update removed that option? Please bring that back! It’s a very helpful feature for meal planning instead of having to ask the group lead how many people have RSVP’d

I love this app a lot it works with my church and it is perfectly smooth not laggy at all. I do wish you could send private messages to leaders but other than that it’s great!

Church Center is a great app, everything it offers is well designed. I’d like to see a polling option added with a choice for how the results are viewed. Either viewed by all or just leaders, with the option for the leader later sharing the results. Also, it would be nice if texting or direct messages could be sent in the app instead of how it currently works. There's probably a reason it is designed like that.m

Makes me have to resend code multiple times and code comes an hour later so that it is now expired. I can’t sign in..

App forces me to re download the app way too often

This is a great app but is there any safety or protection measures one can take while using? Can you block people in the app? Thank you.

App looks sophisticated, too many data fields are required and cannot be deleted or must contact someone at the church office (gender, marital status, birthdate). Signed up as an adult, recent app update requires actual birthdate. No church-specific privacy policy accessible from the app. App collects private information of adults (birthdate) alleging it is to protect children who use the app. I don’t see the value of collecting adult private information, need a different option.

I love Church Center, we use it for so much at our church. Great from both the participant and the leader sides of things! But the app icon on my phones home screen says I have 8 notifications, and I cannot for the LIFE of me figure out what they are 😭 I scrolled all the way down to my earliest chats, I’ve RSVPed to upcoming events, I’ve clicked pretty much every button on the app, and the number has not gone down from 8. It’s such a non-issue in the grand scheme of things, but as someone who likes clearing out and dealing with notifications instead of letting them sit, I really wish it was more obvious within the app what the notifications are and what I need to do to address them, because nothing within the app is badged or highlighted or anything. Thanks for making a great app that enables our church to do so much!!
