Say goodbye to the days of printing and distributing directories that become obsolete as soon as they're printed. With Instant Church Directory, you can craft a professional church photo directory yourself within a few hours.

Don't delay any longer! Embrace the power of an updated directory today by kickstarting your 30-day FREE TRIAL. We're so confident you'll be delighted that we offer a full refund if you're not satisfied.

Faithfully,

Your program was so user friendly and the result was a very professional product.

Teddog

Love this app. I am a pastor and love this app. First, it is easy to use and update. Secondly, it has helped build community in our church. If you forget someone's name, or their children's names — just look it up on the spot, find their picture, and you're good. I have talked to so many people at lunch or breakfast meetings and a name comes up of someone they don't know — I look that person up and can show them their picture. Thirdly, if you visit someone or are headed to a home group for the first time, just touch their address and the map to their house appears on your phone. I also use it to pray for people — just go down the list. … We update it regularly and it saves trying to print updates all the time. Lastly, and most obviously, you have everyone's phone number right on your phone. Love this thing!

Gayle

Wonderful! I have used this app as both a member & as the secretary of my congregation. I found it very easy to work with in the office & love to have my church family's info at my fingertips! I have just retired so don't have the access I did when I worked, but no problem, I just open Instant Church Directory & phone, text or email with no problems. All churches should use this app!

This is the best online tool I have ever used. The tool itself is so easy to use. I have found it to be flexible, it prints nicely and the support you provide is super! The price is more than worth it!

Apple Mixer

Great App. This app gives good sized pictures of families with their contact information so you can contact people by phone, text or email. When you add new members, it automatically places them in alphabetical order. It's very easy to make a printed directory. The best thing is you can have it on your smart phone and can use it at church or other places. Our congregation loves it. People can send in their own pictures directly to the Administrator.

Tubby73

This directory is a great experience for me. Of all the congregations I've been involved with over the past 30+ years none has had a directory that comes close to this one. It's so easy to use and so helpful in getting to learn members' names and faces. I'd give it a 10 star rating.

Sandra

Instant Church Directory Online is amazing! Easiest, by far, software I have ever used! It took me 10 minutes to create a sample directory of about 8 pages long. Thank you!!!

Gary

Simply the best church directory app available! Super easy to set up and use. Adding members and information is a breeze. Registering each device is fast with personalized password emailed to member instantly. Members love that after they login the first time, they don't have to login again. Love the ability to click on phone number to make a call, click on email address which opens your email app to instantly send an email, and the ability to click on street address and GPS app opens instantly and shows you how to get there.

Kris

Incredibly valuable to our class. We have a large Sunday school class … 150 people, and this app has proved to be such a valuable tool for us. The ability to update quickly and easily, add birthdays and anniversaries, provide care groups and photos is just incredible. With every update comes new and exciting changes and improvements. The staff here does an excellent job. I highly recommend it for any church or Sunday school class.
