Do you manage your church directory and attendance from your phone, then wish you had a full keyboard and larger screen when handling bulk contact tasks? ShelbyNEXT | Membership on PC lets you access your congregation data, directory, and group messaging from your desktop. The app syncs your mobile check-ins and records with your church's ChMS, letting you pick up where you left off, whether you're running attendance from the office or updating family information at your desk.
ShelbyNEXT | Membership for Windows PC brings core church management features to your desktop, letting you handle administrative work without switching between devices. The desktop version connects to the same account and data as the mobile app, giving you access to directories, groups, and contact tools from a bigger screen.
Core Tasks on Your Computer
The app lets you step through essential workflows on desktop. Here's how a typical church office session unfolds:
- Sign in with your church domain and credentials to access your congregation data
- Pull up the directory to search for family or contact information by name or group
- Create or update family and people records with details, notes, and group assignments
- Compose and send messages to the entire congregation or specific groups at once
- View attendance records and add interaction notes about members
- Manage group membership and review check-in status as families arrive
Desktop Advantages for Church Staff
Running ShelbyNEXT | Membership PC version from your office means you have the space and input precision to handle larger administrative tasks. A real keyboard makes typing longer notes or bulk updates faster than on mobile. The app stays the app open alongside your email and calendar, checking the directory or pulling reports without closing other windows. For staff who spend their day at a desk, staying signed in to one machine reduces the friction of repeated login attempts across devices.
Directory and Group Management
The directory is a central feature of ShelbyNEXT | Membership for computer use. You can search and browse your full congregation, access family records, and view group assignments. Mass contact tools let you send messages to everyone or filter by specific groups: a task that feels natural and efficient when you have a full screen and keyboard. The app keeps your data in sync with your church's ChMS, so updates made on mobile or desktop appear everywhere.
Integration with Your Church Workflow
ShelbyNEXT | Membership works alongside your existing church systems. Self check-in from the parking lot on mobile speeds up arrival, and your desktop access lets office staff manage the resulting attendance data, update notes, and follow up with families. The combination of mobile convenience and desktop power gives you flexibility: check in families on arrival, then handle record-keeping and outreach from your computer.

Will my desktop data stay synced with the mobile app?
Yes. Install ShelbyNEXT | Membership on PC using the same account you use on mobile, and all directory, family, and group information syncs across devices. Attendance records and notes you add on either platform appear on the other.
Can I send bulk messages to my congregation from the desktop version?
Yes. The mass contact feature works the same on desktop and mobile: you can send messages to your entire congregation or filter by specific groups from your computer.
What if I have login issues with ShelbyNEXT | Membership for Windows PC?
