Attendance and first-time guests

myChelper is a registered trade name of Faith Software, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This is a charitable church-equipping program—not a separate for-profit software company.

Knowing who was here—and who hasn’t been in for a while—is how a small church takes care of its people. In the myChelper admin portal you can count each service, notice who has drifted away, and welcome first-time guests without a paper card. It is all on the free plan.

At a glance

  • Record a headcount for each service (adults, plus kids if you count them), tick who was here by name, or both
  • Take attendance straight from a group’s roster
  • See a 12-week trend chart, and export attendance as a CSV file
  • A “not seen lately” list: people who came at least twice in the last 90 days but haven’t been in for 2, 3, 4, or 6 weeks
  • Each person on that list shows their contact details, and you can mark them “followed up” with a note
  • A “Welcome to your church” guest card guests fill in on their own phone from a QR code—no app or account needed
  • A Guests list that shows how each guest found you and their first visit, with “contacted” and notes for follow-up

Print the guest card QR code in your bulletin or put it on the screen. A guest gives their name and email, and can add a phone number, whether it’s their first time, how they heard about you, a prayer request, and their family members. You can get an email the moment a card comes in. The same card works on your church website as a “Get in touch” block.

Guests are added to your church email list unless they untick the box on the card, so a warm follow-up note is easy to send.

This is attendance for worship services and groups. myChelper does not offer children’s check-in with security labels.
