Contact Information - Address, Phone, Email
Contact information is generally stored on each individual member. However, some details—such as a home address or home phone—can be shared across the entire family.
You only need to enter the home address and home phone once, on the primary family member.
Home and Mailing Address
You can assign both a home address and a mailing address to the primary family member. These addresses are shared with all members of the family.
However, you may want to assign unique address to an individual member if the members in the family live at different addresses. This is useful in situations where, for example, a son or daughter has moved away for college but is still part of the congregation.
If a mailing address is set for a member, Tax receipts generated through Church Social will use the member's mailing address over their home address.
It is only necessary to set a mailing address if that address is different from the home address.
Emails are unique to each member and should not be shared across a family since they are used to log into the app and determine permissions. For example, an elder who may have access to private or sensitive information.
Phones
The work phone and mobile phone fields are always member-specific. Unlike the home phone or address fields, these numbers are never shared across a family.
