Some weeks, communication feels like a full-time job. You’re crafting emails, building event pages, updating announcements, and trying to keep everyone in the loop—while still showing up for your team and your people.
You care deeply about helping your congregation stay connected and engaged. But without the right tools, that care can quickly turn into overwhelm. The good news? It doesn’t have to be that way.
Here are five essential features every church communicator should expect from their ChMS.
1. Mobile-Optimized, Multi-Channel Communication
More than half of all emails are opened on mobile devices. That means your communication tools need to deliver responsive, beautifully designed messages that work on any screen and perform consistently across platforms.
Built-in segmentation, tracking, and automation help you reach the right people at the right time—without duplication or delay. Accessible messages drive stronger engagement.

2. Seamless Calls to Action
Clear steps move people to engage. Whether it’s registering for an event, joining a group, updating a profile, or making a gift—actions need to be fast, secure, and friction-free.
Special links in your emails or messages create instant, login-free ways for people to respond. Participation increases when communication includes a simple way to take the next step.
3. Personalized User Experiences
Personalization builds trust and encourages deeper involvement. From tailored content to dynamic dashboards, members interact with tools that reflect their individual preferences, roles, and histories.
When people log in and see what matters most to them—groups, giving, resources—it creates meaningful connection. Every message, every feature, every step becomes more relevant and relational.

4. Friction-Free Access
Strong systems reduce barriers. With secure features like one-time email links, Face ID, or PIN-based access, people stay connected without constant login issues.
Smooth access keeps people returning to check group updates, manage giving, and stay involved—without password fatigue or tech frustration.
5. Empowerment for Lay Leaders
Your ministry isn’t led by staff alone. Volunteers, small group leaders, and team coordinators play a vital role in communication and care.
Equip them with tools to send updates, track engagement, manage attendance, and access resources in real time. Empowered leaders serve more confidently—and expand your church’s reach through meaningful, decentralized leadership.
