Can we create both printed and digital bulletins?

Yes. Publish one live digital bulletin for phones and print copies when people prefer paper. Printable layouts are generated from the same content, and links become QR codes on the printed page, so you’re not building two separate bulletins.

Can we keep our existing bulletin design?

You can start from bulletin-ready layouts and sections churches use every Sunday, then adjust content and structure in the editor. If you already have a bulletin, optional AI can help turn a website URL or uploaded PDF/image into a first draft you review and edit, you’re not locked into starting from a blank page.

How do we create next Sunday’s bulletin?

Reuse last week’s bulletin, update announcements and details for the new service, and publish. Your church keeps one stable link and QR code, so next week’s content appears without sending a new file.

How do people access the digital bulletin?

Share one stable web link or QR code. Put it on your website, in email, on lobby screens, or in print. People open it in any browser, no special software required.

Do members need an account or an app?

No. Members open a normal web link or scan a QR code in any browser. No app download and no account required to read the bulletin.

Can we make changes after sharing it?

Yes. Fix a typo, add an announcement, or update an event anytime. Everyone with the same link sees the current version, no reprinting a whole PDF run.

Can more than one person help prepare it?

Yes. Invite staff or volunteers to your ChurchRaise organization so multiple people can draft and publish the weekly bulletin.

Can we include readings, prayers, songs and announcements?

Yes. Build the bulletin with the blocks churches use every Sunday, announcements, prayers, events, sermon notes, and other service details such as readings and songs. Add, remove, or rearrange sections as needed.

Do we have to move all our church software to ChurchRaise?

No. Digital bulletins work on their own. You can add giving or event links when useful, without migrating your full church stack.

Do we have to use AI?

No. AI is optional. You can create and publish bulletins entirely in the editor, or use AI only when you want a draft from your website or an uploaded bulletin to review and edit.

Can we upload an existing Word document or PDF?

You can start from scratch in the editor, or optionally use AI to help turn a website URL or an uploaded PDF/image into a first draft. For Word files, copy content into the editor or save as PDF first if you want AI help. Always review and edit before publishing.

What paper sizes and folded layouts can we print?

ChurchRaise generates printable layouts from your bulletin content for common church print workflows, including letter-size paper folded in half. Links become QR codes on the printed page so paper readers can still open digital next steps.

Can we schedule a bulletin to publish before Sunday?

Yes. Prepare the bulletin ahead of time and schedule when it should go live, so next Sunday’s content is ready without last-minute publishing.

Can people access previous bulletins?

Yes. Past bulletins can remain available in your archive so people can revisit previous weeks when you enable archive access.

Can we include giving links and event signups?

Yes. Add giving links and event details with RSVPs or signups in the bulletin so people can take the next step from their phone.

Can we see how many people open it?

Yes. Digital bulletins include engagement analytics so your team can see how people open and interact with the bulletin, insight you don’t get from paper alone.

How do we protect private prayer requests or personal information?

Your team controls what appears on the public bulletin. Keep sensitive prayer requests and personal details for internal team workflows, and only publish what you’re comfortable sharing with the congregation.

Is it easy to read on a phone or enlarge the text?

Yes. The digital bulletin is built to work on any phone as a normal web page. People can pinch-to-zoom or use their browser’s text size settings if they want larger type.

Q: Can events and service details be added automatically?

Yes. Connect Google Calendar or Outlook and your bulletin can pull in service times, birthdays, memorials, and other recurring notes for the week ahead, so you’re not copying them by hand every Sunday.

Create this Sunday's bulletin with prayers, announcements, events and sermon notes. Share it by link or QR code, update it anytime, and print copies for people who prefer paper.
