The Big Summer Drop: Updates and New Features

It’s heating up... and so are the new features in ChurchTrac! We’re rolling out our biggest updates of the year, and we’re calling it the Big Summer Drop. From a brand-new native church app with push notifications and a new email builder to top things off, these updates are all about making ministry and connecting with your people easier. 

Church Connect App

We’ve launched our brand-new Church Connect App, available now in the Apple App Store and Google Play Store! This is a complete native church app, loaded with powerful new features:

  • Push Notifications 
  • Home Screen Widgets 
  • Media Library Access
  • …and more summer surprises! ☀️

Now your church family can stay connected like never before.

Push Notifications

With the new app, your members (who have notifications enabled) can now receive push notifications right on their phone.

And it’s super easy for your leaders, too! They can send out alerts straight from the Messaging screen in your ChurchTrac account.  Whether it’s a last-minute event change or a quick encouragement, this feature will help you reach your church in real time.

Our brand-new Email Builder makes it easy to design, edit, and send fully customized emails to your people. You can start from scratch or pick from our new built-in templates. It's perfect for newsletters, announcements, or that special summer update.
