Birthdays & Anniversaries
Never miss a chance to celebrate your members
Remembering a birthday or anniversary tells a member they matter. ChurchNET automatically pulls dates from member profiles and shows upcoming celebrations so your congregation can send a card, make a call, or simply say happy birthday on Sunday.
Why celebrations get missed
The problem isn't caring — it's keeping track.
No one remembers the dates
With hundreds of members, even the most attentive leader can’t keep every birthday and anniversary in their head. Important milestones pass without anyone noticing.
Spreadsheets get stale fast
Someone starts a birthday spreadsheet, it’s accurate for a month, and then new members join, dates change, and no one updates it. Within a year it’s useless.
Milestones pass unnoticed
A 50th wedding anniversary. A 90th birthday. A teenager’s milestone. When there’s no system, these moments slip by — and members feel invisible.
Celebrations that happen automatically
Every feature is designed to surface the dates that matter — without extra work.
Every birthday at a glance
ChurchNET pulls birthday dates from member profiles and displays them in a scrollable, searchable list. See today’s birthdays, this week’s, or browse the full month — no manual entry required.
Wedding anniversaries, never missed
Anniversary dates entered on member profiles appear alongside birthdays. Leaders can see who’s celebrating 25 years or 50 years and make sure the congregation acknowledges it.
One screen for every celebration
Birthdays and anniversaries appear together in a unified view sorted by date. Filter by month, search by name, or browse the upcoming list — everything in one place.
Faces next to names
Each entry shows the member’s profile photo so you can put a face to the name. Especially helpful in larger congregations where leaders may not know every member by sight.
Two experiences, one app
Members and leaders each see exactly what they need.
