Set up Sermfy in under 30 minutes

Welcome to Sermfy! Follow this guide from start to finish and your church will be fully set up and ready to use.

You don't need any technical experience. If you can use a smartphone, you can set up Sermfy.

Your Setup Checklist

1

Set up your church profile

Add your church logo, update your church name, and set your locations.

2

Add members

Share your public registration link (or its QR code) so members can register themselves, or add members individually from the Members page. Sermfy checks for duplicate phone numbers and emails automatically before saving.

3

Create an event and record attendance

Create your first event under Events & Services, then check people in manually, by QR, camera scan, or Kiosk Mode for an unattended entrance station.

4

Create Groups

Set up your ministries, cell groups, choir, ushers, and departments so members can be assigned appropriately.

5

Record your first Offering / Tithe

Record Sunday's tithes and offerings under Finance. Set up Online Giving if you want members to give digitally.

6

Generate a report

Generate a membership report from Reports to see everything working together, or export a PDF attendance report for any service.

Quick Tips
  • • Start with your most active members. You don't need to import everyone at once.
  • • Give any leader who only needs to view information a limited, view-only role from Roles & Permissions.
  • • Go to Follow-Up to track absentees and reconnect with members who haven't attended recently.
  • • Request a Sender ID in Communication before your first Sunday so you can send reminders.
