No one slips through the cracks
Churches grow one person at a time. Zera helps your pastors and leaders know every member, welcome every visitor and follow up with care. Free, for any number of people.
One register for the whole church
Members, visitors and families in one place that stays tidy without a spreadsheet. Search it, filter by status or branch, and see who’s already on the app.
- Profiles worth havingContact details, next of kin, household, groups, sacraments, and private notes only your owners and admins see.
- Bring your list acrossImport members from Excel or Google Sheets in one step. Duplicates are skipped, never overwritten.
- Invite them to their appEach member gets a personal link by WhatsApp or SMS to claim their record and open their own app.
- Unlimited, free foreverNo per-member fees, no caps.
Every first-timer has someone looking out for them
Each visitor is assigned to someone who calls, texts and visits until they feel at home, logging each one. You can see at a glance who’s waiting for a call.
- Every contact on the recordCalls, SMS, WhatsApp messages, home visits and conversations at church.
- From visitor to memberNot contacted → in progress → now a member. Nobody falls off the list quietly.
- Visitors find you, tooFriends your members invite can say “I’d like to visit” without an account, and land on your list with who invited them.
Know who came, and who needs you
Members ask the care team for help from their app, privately. On Sunday, people check themselves in at the door, an usher ticks names, or a tablet in the foyer does it.
- Care requests, kept privateOnly your care team sees them, never the feed. The bell says who asked, never what about.
- Check-in three waysA QR code at the door, an usher’s list on a phone, or a kiosk that shows names only.
- Children checked in safelyEach child gets a pickup code that only the parent and the person who checked them in see.
- Who you haven’t seenA list of members who haven’t been at church in a while, so someone can call.
Members book a pastor. No chasing on the phone.
Each pastor sets their hours and days off. Members pick a pastor, or anyone on the team, and choose in person, a phone call or a video call. Reminders go out the day before and an hour before.
- Private by designA pastor’s notes are for that pastor alone. Topics never show in notifications.
- Messages in MailMembers write to the pastoral team from the app and get replies in the same conversation. Anonymous means anonymous: the name is never shown, even to staff.
- The team stays in stepAdmins see the whole team’s calendar and can manage other pastors’ hours.
Records kept with dignity
Households and groups
Families linked together, and every ministry with its members and leaders. Each has its own updates feed in the member app.
Sacraments and certificates
Baptisms, confirmations, communion and weddings on each record, with certificates to print.
Services and attendance
Your service types, who came to each one, and the trend over the weeks, in person and online.
Occasions and welfare
Weddings, funerals and dedications, with the people, RSVPs and a support fund with its acknowledgment list. The order of service comes too, on Zera Plus. Welfare support is recorded with who approved it.
Joining, your way
Share your church’s join link. People ask to join and you approve them, or switch to open joining.
Moving well
When a member moves, their pastor can write a letter of commendation with a code anyone can check. Leaving never needs permission.
