What's New

Powerful new modules and tools to help you manage your church more effectively.

01

Pulse: Your Church's Weekly Health Check

How complete is your member data, and how well is your team actually using ChurchBell? Pulse answers both with one easy-to-read score out of 100, refreshed every week. It looks at two simple things: how complete your member records are (do members have phone numbers, emails, dates of birth?) and how active each module is (when did someone last add a receipt or post a service register?). The overall number breaks down into clear, fixable lists, showing exactly which members are missing what, and which modules haven't been used lately. An Activity tab lets you look back at any period and see what was added module by module. And on the 1st of every month, a polished PDF report lands in your inbox, all neatly summarised and ready to share with your council or committee.

02

Property: Land, Buildings & Shop Rentals

Manage every piece of land and every building your church owns in one place, with shop rentals as the centrepiece. Add a property, attach its title deed, tax receipts and photographs, and you've got a clean record of everything you own. For each shop, parsonage or other rental unit, set up the tenant, monthly rent, security deposit, GST rate and any rent revisions. On the billing day each month an invoice is created automatically and the PDF lands in your tenant's WhatsApp. When the tenant pays, your team records the collection in two clicks; the receipt flows straight into your day book against the income ledger you picked, so no-one has to re-enter the same details. A live dashboard shows who has paid this month and who is overdue, and automatic reminders go out for upcoming rent, missed payments and insurance renewals so nothing slips through the cracks.

Made Better

Improvements across modules you already use every day.

Audit Trail: Faster Filters, Cleaner Detail
The audit timeline now feels exactly like the member list: a search bar at the top, quick filters for common time windows, and a date picker right next to them. By default it opens on the past two weeks so the most relevant rows are right there. Each row shows only what actually changed (no clutter from fields that stayed the same), where the action happened, and a clean easy-to-read label. The Audit menu now sits inside Reports where it belongs, and pages remember themselves, so going back lands instantly.
Church Signatures: A Cleaner Setup
Treasurer, presbyter and an optional additional signatory now each get their own clean card on the settings page, with a clear drop-here area for uploading the signature. The preview shows up the moment you upload, and every PDF you generate after that picks up the latest signature automatically, so you'll never see old or missing signatures on documents after swapping one out.
Notifications: Live Stats and Smarter Resends
Open any notification you've sent, and you'll now see live counts of how many were sent, delivered and read, right next to the recipient list, so you can tell exactly how a message landed without leaving the page. When you resend, it goes to the same people who originally received it (the latest attempt per person on each channel), instead of rebuilding the list from scratch. And if someone was skipped, the reason now reads in plain English ("opted out", "no WhatsApp number") instead of a code only a developer would understand.
Opening Balance: Edit Any Past Month
You can now go back and edit the opening balance for any past month, even months you originally left blank. Useful when historical figures come in late or need to be corrected, without having to invent a workaround entry just to make the system happy.
Settings: Passkeys and Self-Declaration Deadlines, Front and Centre
Two settings that used to be tucked away in different corners of the app are now front and centre on the main Church Settings screen: passkey management and per-financial-year Self Declaration submission deadlines. One place for everything you need to configure.
● Bug Fixes

Squashed

Reliability improvements you'll feel even if you don't see them.

WhatsApp: Honest Send Status
If a PDF or image failed to upload halfway through sending a WhatsApp message, the system used to mark the message as "Sent" anyway. Now the status reflects what actually happened: failed sends show as failures, and skipped ones show as skipped, so the audit page tells the truth.
Login: Smoother Resume After Network Drops
On patchy connections, the login screen could occasionally hang while the app was still starting up. Sign-in now waits for the right moment and recovers gracefully, so a flaky network won't leave you stuck on the login screen.
