People & Families

Every church begins with people. Ekkluo gives you a complete, searchable member directory with individual profiles, family linking, emergency contacts, medical notes, and relationship mapping. You see the full picture — not a flat spreadsheet.

Tag members by ministry involvement, spiritual gifts, or custom categories. Track milestones like baptisms, membership dates, and pastoral visits. When someone walks through your door for the first time, Ekkluo helps you remember them by name the second time.

Family linking connects parents to children, spouses to each other, and households to addresses. One update cascades across the family. No more duplicates, no more missing phone numbers.

He calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. — John 10:3. The shepherd’s work begins with knowing the flock. Ekkluo exists to make that knowing possible at any size.

Attendance & Safety

Track who’s present, who’s absent, and who hasn’t been seen in weeks. Ekkluo’s attendance module works across Sunday services, midweek gatherings, small groups, and special events.

Spot trends before they become problems. A member who’s been absent three weeks in a row surfaces automatically, prompting a pastoral follow-up — not because software told you to care, but because it freed you to notice.

Every check-in creates an audit trail. Know exactly who was in the building, when they arrived, and who checked them in. For insurance, safety compliance, and simple peace of mind.

Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine and go after the lost one? — Luke 15:4. Attendance tracking is shepherd work. Ekkluo makes sure no one slips through unnoticed.

Children’s Check-In

Secure check-in for every child, every service. Parents receive a matching security code. Pickup requires confirmation. Allergies, medical notes, and authorized guardians are displayed to every volunteer in the room.

Print name tags with security codes, classroom assignments, and allergy alerts. Parents check in at a kiosk or their own device. The entire process takes under 30 seconds per family.

If a child needs to be retrieved during service, Ekkluo sends a discreet notification to the parent — no more number boards on the wall. Safety, dignity, and speed.

Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them. — Matthew 19:14. The church that gathers children well gathers families well. Check-in isn’t logistics — it’s hospitality with guardrails.

Volunteer Scheduling

Auto-scheduling with pairing rules that respects frequency limits, time-off requests, and role qualifications. Set a volunteer to serve no more than twice a month, and Ekkluo handles the rest. No spreadsheet gymnastics.

Volunteers see their schedule on a personal dashboard, receive reminders before each service, and can request swaps with qualified alternates — all without a single email chain.

Track volunteer hours, identify burnout patterns, and celebrate milestones. When someone has served 50 Sundays, you’ll know. When someone hasn’t served in two months, you’ll know that too.

Do not grow weary in doing good. — Galatians 6:9. The Greek word for growing weary is ekkluo — to become unstrung. Good scheduling keeps the bow tight so your servants never burn out.

Community & Communication

Built-in email for announcements, reminders, and notifications. Plus bulletin board, community events, and outreach connections. Segment by group, tag, attendance pattern, or any custom field. Reach the right people with the right message.

The community bulletin board gives members a place to post prayer requests, share needs, and celebrate milestones between Sundays. Moderated by your team, visible to your church.

Event management with RSVP tracking, calendar integration, and automated reminders. From Sunday services to men’s breakfasts to mission trips — one calendar, one system.

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. — Acts 2:42. Connection isn’t an add-on. It’s the substance of church life.

Assessments & Programs

Spiritual gifts surveys, Bible reading plans, readers club, church membership voting, fun quizzes, and new member orientations — all built into the platform. Assign programs to individuals or groups and track completion.

Create custom assessments for anything: volunteer readiness evaluations, leadership development checklists, or congregation-wide surveys. Results feed directly into member profiles.

Membership voting for congregational decisions, with secure balloting and transparent results. Deacon elections, budget approvals, and pastoral calls — handled with integrity.

Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it. — Proverbs 22:6. Discipleship is intentional. Ekkluo gives you the tools to be intentional at scale.

SMS Messaging

Outbound SMS for service reminders, volunteer notifications, prayer chain alerts, and outreach campaigns. Messages are sent directly through Ekkluo — no third-party app to manage.

Usage-based pricing at $0.0125 per message keeps costs predictable. 10DLC carrier registration is included at no extra charge, ensuring your messages actually reach inboxes.

Target messages by group, role, attendance pattern, or custom segment. Schedule sends in advance or trigger them from events. Every message is logged against the member’s profile.

How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news. — Isaiah 52:7. The sent church communicates. SMS is the shepherd’s voice reaching the flock wherever they are.

Online and in-person donations with one-time, recurring, and designated fund options. Donors manage their own giving profiles, update payment methods, and download tax statements. $29/month add-on with 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction.

Fund accounting and budgets built into the platform — not bolted on. Expense tracking, budget management, and financial reporting designed specifically for church accounting standards.

Financial reporting and giving statements generated automatically. Year-end tax letters with one click. Donor engagement and giving history insights that help you steward relationships, not just transactions.

Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. — 2 Corinthians 9:7. Generosity flows from a strengthened community sent into the world.
