Church Attendance App: How to Know Who Came to Service

A head count tells a church how many came, not who came, and not who has quietly stopped coming. Here is how churches in Nigeria record attendance member by member with a digital ID card.

Pastors and follow-up teams want to notice when a regular member misses a few Sundays, before that member drifts away for good. A paper register or a head count cannot tell you that. A digital member ID can.

How it works

1Each member gets a digital member ID, as a QR code in the app or a SmartAccess NFC card.
2At service or a programme, members scan or tap at the door.
3Every check-in is saved with the date and time.
4The church can see who attended, and who has not been seen recently.

Events too

For conferences, retreats and programmes, registrants get a digital ticket they use to check in at the door, and payments go straight into the church's own bank account.
