Spring 2026 updates to Church360° Members bring fresh ways to streamline communication and simplify financial recordkeeping. These enhancements focus on giving church leaders greater control over how they connect with members—by text, email, and voice—while also simplifying offering data management.

Whether you serve as a communications director, church administrator, or pastor, these improvements are designed to save time, improve clarity, and help your ministry communicate with confidence. Keep reading to learn about what’s new this spring.

New Communication Features

Communication Templates and Personalization

New communication templates make it easier to send timely, consistent, and more personal messages across text, email, and voice for common needs like event reminders, service changes, and urgent announcements. By using reusable templates with name placeholders and other fields, churches can personalize messages automatically so they feel more genuine—often leading to more people opening, engaging with, and responding to communications. Templates also help systematize routine messaging, saving staff time while maintaining a clear, consistent voice that congregants can quickly recognize and trust.

Texting Settings

Text messaging continues to be one of the fastest, most effective ways to reach members, and the Spring 2026 release gives church staff more control than ever. The new text communication settings and templates area allows you to manage all core texting configurations from one centralized location. From here, you can:

• Create and manage reusable message templates for common communications.
• Customize your outgoing opt‑in message, ensuring that members clearly understand how and why they’re invited to receive text communications from your church.
• Configure phone number selection priority, so Church360° Members knows which phone numbers to use first when sending messages.

By standardizing text messaging settings, churches can maintain consistent messaging, reduce setup time for each communication, and ensure compliance with opt‑in best practices.

Email Settings

Enjoy newfound flexibility and consistency in your outbound email messaging with the spring updates. With the updated email communication settings and templates, you can now:

• Specify the sender name and email address used for outgoing messages, reinforcing trust and recognition for recipients.
• Configure email number selection priority, ensuring the correct email addresses are used when members have multiple records.
• Build and manage email templates for a variety of messaging needs

These enhancements make it easier to present a professional, unified voice in every email while reducing repetitive setup work for staff and volunteers.

Voice Messaging Settings

For churches that rely on automated or bulk voice messages, these quarterly updates introduce improved visibility and organization.

The updated voice messaging settings and call types area in the software allows you to:

• View available voice messaging credit balances at a glance.
• Configure phone number selection priority, helping ensure calls reach members through the most appropriate contact information.
• Define and manage call types, making it easier to categorize and organize voice communications for different purposes.

   

These improvements give ministries clearer insight into their voice messaging usage while supporting more intentional, well‑organized outreach.

Import Offerings Quickly with the CSV Importer

Managing offering data just got significantly easier. The new CSV importer allows you to import offering records from a spreadsheet into Church360° Members.

This is especially valuable if your church has:

• Historical giving records stored in spreadsheets
• Offering data from another church management system
• Contributions from an electronic giving provider
• Recurring offering records maintained outside of Church360° software

By importing offerings via CSV, churches can bring records into Church360° Members efficiently, accurately, and without re‑keying data—saving time while maintaining complete financial histories.

Built to Support Clear Communication and Efficient Ministry

These updates to Church360° Members focus on making everyday tasks easier for church staff. Better control over text, email, and voice messaging—along with a new way to import offering records—helps reduce manual work and keeps information organized so churches can communicate clearly and manage data more efficiently. We pray they are a blessing for your team.
