What makes church directories harder than they should be?
How ChurchRaise helps
“Afraid a directory becomes a public phone book?”
Members-only by design
Guests who are not signed in only see a sign-in prompt. The roster itself stays behind Church Hub login — never a searchable public contact list.
Connection without oversharing — so the congregation can find each other on their terms.
1 / 6
Privacy first. Connection second.
Opt-in listing, field-level controls, members-only access, and safeguards for kids — designed for real congregations.
Opt-in only
Nobody is listed by default. Members choose to appear — and until they do, they stay completely out of the directory.
Field-level privacy
Email, phone, address, birthday month/day, groups & teams, and skills each have their own toggle. Everything starts hidden.
Members only
The roster is behind sign-in. Guests see a prompt to sign in — never a public phone book on the open web.
Search that helps people connect
Find someone by name, contact details they’ve shared, birthday, skills, or the groups and teams they’re part of.
Family & household control
Manage listing for yourself and household family from the same place — opt people in and set what each person shares.
Built into Church Hub
Directory lives as a tab in Church Hub next to giving, groups, forms, and profile — one place members already bookmark.
How to launch a trusted directory in three steps
Most churches turn Directory on, invite opt-ins, and let members connect the same week — no printed pictorial required.
Turn on Directory in Church Hub
Enable the Directory section for your church. When it’s on, members see a trusted roster tab; when it’s off, it isn’t offered.
Invite people to opt in
Members choose to be listed and pick which fields to share. Staff can help from person profiles when someone needs a hand.
Let the congregation connect
Signed-in members browse and search people who opted in — with photos, shared contact info, and group badges where allowed.
Free directory, connected to your membership stack
Directory sits next to people, households, and forms in ChurchRaise — not in another silo your staff has to reconcile.
- No per-member directory fees
- Opt-in preferences stay with the same people records
- Fits Membership management with CRM, forms, and households
