Check-in that takes seconds and a record that holds up.
A kiosk in the lobby, a live dashboard for the room, intake links families fill in before they arrive, and a parent view on the phone. Built so the volunteer at the table on a Sunday morning can do the whole thing one-handed.
Sunday morning is nine minutes long.
Everything about kids check-in either works inside that window or it doesn’t work at all.
The line at 9:58
Three families deep, a volunteer who was trained once, and a laptop that just logged itself out.
Paper forms nobody transcribes
Allergies and emergency contacts on a clipboard are safety information nobody can find in an emergency.
“Who picked up Emma?”
A question you only ever have to answer on the worst possible day.
Kids & Check-in, in detail.
A kiosk that runs itself in the lobby
Set up a tablet or a laptop as a check-in station and leave it there. It runs in its own public kiosk mode — no volunteer account, no session that expires mid-morning, nothing on screen that belongs to the rest of your church.
- A dedicated kiosk URL that stays logged in
- Search by family, check in siblings together
- Nothing else in your church is reachable from the kiosk screen
A dashboard for the person running the room
Who is in each room right now, who is still expected, and which kids have something the team needs to know. Kids ministry is its own permission scope, so the volunteers who need this see it and nobody else does.
- Live room-by-room view of who is checked in
- Allergy and note flags surfaced where the team will see them
- Kids-ministry roster separate from the church-wide directory
- Its own hub in the permission matrix — grant it to exactly the right people
Families fill in their own information, before Sunday
Send a family a single intake link. They add their kids, allergies, and emergency contacts from their phone during the week — no account, no app download, no clipboard. The information lands in your records already typed, already spelled right.
- Tokenized intake links, one per family
- No login required for the family to complete it
- Household records with a shared address, so siblings stay together
- Whether a person joins as an adult or a child is an explicit approval, never a guess
Curriculum and parents, on the same page
Store what your kids team is teaching alongside the roster, and give parents a view from the app they already have — the same app where they see their small group and the church calendar.
- Curriculum stored with the ministry, not in someone’s Drive folder
- A parent-facing kids section in the mobile app
- Kids counted separately from adults everywhere in the product, so your numbers stay honest
No feature tiers, no add-ons, no upsell.
Kids sits next to attendance, and both come with your stay.
Where this connects
Every part of Churchory shares one directory, one permission system, and one price.
