Micheal and Kari walk through all the new features that landed in ChurchApps this month — one of the busiest update cycles yet.

Features covered:

- Native event registration — toggle it on right from a calendar event, with capacity limits, family member signup, and CSV export

- Self-service volunteer signup — members sign themselves up for open positions, with deadlines and admin control

- Guest check-in via QR code — families scan and register on their own phone

- Check-in kiosk theming and idle screen slideshow

- Email templates for groups — formatted emails with merge fields, saved templates, step-by-step walkthrough

- Audit log under Settings — tracks every significant action with user, timestamp, and IP

- Giving dashboard KPI cards — total giving, average gift, unique donors, weekly/monthly/quarterly views

- FreePlay downloads tab — manage downloaded content on your TV device before Sunday

Try It This Week: Go to Groups in B1 Admin, open a group, click Email, and set up your first reusable email template.
