If your church manages multiple campuses or has multiple branches and you want them all to be managed from under the same main account, you can do so within ChMeetings. There are two methods, and the one you may choose depends on your specific needs.

Use Ministries

Using a Ministry to manage campuses or branches is suitable for smaller churches or in cases when you don’t need specific features.

Under your main church account, you can create a Ministry for each campus or branch. The Ministry is dedicated to situations when you want to manage separate people, groups, events, forms, follow-ups, etc. All Ministries are hierarchically placed under your main church account, so at the level of your church you can manage things like settings, or the full list of records across ministries. All records within a specific Ministry are visible at the church account level, but not vice versa. All users will be assigned to the same church, regardless of Ministry.

All ChMeetings plans come with this feature. If you are not signed up yet, you can check out our pricing and sign up here.

Sign Up For A Diocese Account

If you manage a large community or an actual Diocese, we recommend signing up for our Diocese account, as it is tailored to such needs.

With a Diocese account, you get several features that let you more efficiently manage campuses, branches, or separate churches, under the same umbrella: Here is what you can do with a Diocese account:

• You can set each campus or branch as a separate church and have members sign up for the campus they are part of. All campuses will be managed under the Diocese account, but will have separate identities, logos, settings, users, member lists, member portals, reports, etc. They can be run autonomously, while centrally managed from within the Diocese account. 
• Your Diocese can have its own, private database and custom domain. 
• You can configure campuses or branches in separate countries and timezones. Each “church” under the Diocese account has separate settings for this. 
• Members can join multiple campuses or branches and set a main one as their “Home Church”.
• Member profiles can have custom fields that are specific to each church. Every church in the Diocese can create their own profile fields to manage autonomously. 
• You can further organize your community using the Ministry feature, which is available and works the same within a Diocese. 
• We create custom reports using Power BI. This feature is available upon request and for a one-time fee and helps you gain further insight into your community. Besides these, you get all ChMeetings Reports both at the level of the Diocese, where data on all churches is included, and at the level of each church (campus or branch) where each can manage their own reports separately.
