What electronic check-in system does your church use?

We use Connection Power, which is a web-based program.  It has several components that you can purchase separately, and has a great care ministry section that allows you to communicate with other departments in notes and it notifies you if you there are needs.  It provides a list of kids who have missed 1, 2, or 3 times so that they can be contacted before you have lost a family.  The program price varies by your church size.We love that Connection Power's staff listens to our needs and works to improve the product and release new features monthly.  The reports have been tough to maneuver, but we're learning to call their staff if we can't pull up what we need.  We made the move to Connection Power from Shelby and some of our staff wishes that the servant module from Shelby was in CP, but other than that, we're very happy with it. 

 

We have been using Parent Pager for two years and have been very pleased. It is used for check-in for all children through the fifth grade. It is pretty much 100% customizable to your needs. We had the rep out when we installed it and he set it up specifically for our needs. We use it for about 1000 children per weekend and have very few problems. parentpager.com

We use Lambs List. Although I'm not a fan of the name, it is a great check in program. It does just what I need it to do, and it is all online! Plus the tech people over there are great to work with. 

We use Arena Check-In (www.arenachms.com) and we are very impressed with it.  We upgraded to Arena from Shelby about a year ago, and are excited about Arena's interface and ease of use by our staff. 

We're in the process of switching to Connection Power. While it's not perfect, there are a lot of great elements that will serve our church as a whole (which is great because we've all been using seperate systems since the main one didn't work well for individual ministries). The Power Visitor element is working SO WELL!
