Your Complete Church Member Database
Every pastor knows the challenge: paper registers get lost, Excel spreadsheets become unmanageable, and important details about your members fall through the cracks. Shepherd's member management module gives you a single, secure place to store and access every detail about every member of your congregation.

Everything You Need to Know About Every Member
Comprehensive Member Profiles
Store complete contact information for every member — phone numbers, email addresses, physical addresses, and emergency contacts. In Ghana and across Africa, where many members may have multiple phone numbers or share family contacts, Shepherd lets you record them all. Each profile includes a photo, date of birth for automated birthday messages, and occupation details.
Family Connections
African churches are family churches. Shepherd lets you link family members together so you can see entire households at a glance. When a father checks in on Sunday, you know whether his wife and children are also present. When you're planning a home visit, you have the full family picture. Family units can share a single address while maintaining individual profiles.
Groups & Ministries
Organize members into groups that reflect your church's structure — Men's Fellowship, Women's Ministry, Choir, Ushers, Youth, Deaconess Board, and any custom groups you create. Members can belong to multiple groups simultaneously. Group leaders get their own dashboard to manage their team, track attendance, and communicate directly with group members.
Spiritual Milestones
Track each member's spiritual journey with milestones like salvation date, water baptism, Holy Ghost baptism, membership class completion, and leadership training. These milestones help you understand where each member is in their walk and identify who might be ready for the next step. Generate reports to see how many new converts have completed membership class this quarter.
CSV Import & Export
Already tracking members in Excel or Google Sheets? No problem. Upload your CSV file and Shepherd's smart mapping tool will match your columns to the right fields. Most churches complete their full data migration within an hour. You can also export your data at any time — your information always belongs to you.
Powerful Search & Filters
Find any member instantly with full-text search across names, phone numbers, and email addresses. Use advanced filters to segment your congregation — show all members who joined this year, or all women in the 25-35 age group, or all members who haven't attended in the last month. Save frequently used filters for one-click access.
