People and households, kept simple

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.

A church is a family of families. In the myChelper admin portal you can group people into households, give each person a role (Head, Spouse, Child, or Other), and keep the details your church cares about in custom fields and tags. It is all on the free plan.

At a glance

  • Households with one Head and simple roles: Head, Spouse, Child, or Other
  • Custom fields for the things you track (text, number, date, yes/no, single or multiple choice), plus tags
  • Filter your People list by household, age, tag, or custom field
  • CSV import with household and custom-field columns, up to 2,000 people per file
  • Merge duplicate records, and export the filtered list with a household key
  • Attendance and a “not seen lately” list, so regulars who drift away don’t slip through the cracks
  • First-time guest cards that link guests to their household

Most small churches keep their people in a spreadsheet someone started years ago. You can bring that sheet in as it is. Each row is handled on its own, so one messy line will not stop the rest from coming through.

Already have people in myChelper? Your Households page may start out empty. Group families as you go, or add household columns to a CSV and import them.

The full People list is for admins. You decide who on your team gets that access.
