Import your church members into PostSermon
Your member database is the foundation for messaging, groups and attendance. Here’s how to get everyone in — by hand, or by importing the spreadsheet you already have.
Updated July 2026
Step by step
- 1
Add a member by hand
Enter a name, phone, email and opt-ins. In Ghana a phone number is required (it’s the identity key); in the US email is required instead. You can add groups now or later.
- 2
Bulk-import a spreadsheet
Upload the CSV you already track your members in. Map your columns once — name, phone, email, groups — and PostSermon imports everyone and remembers the matching for next time.
- 3
Let events feed the database
Anyone who registers for one of your events is matched to an existing member or added as a new one, so your database grows without double-typing.
- 4
Fix what didn’t import
Rows with a missing required field or a duplicate phone/email are flagged with a clear reason rather than silently dropped, so you can correct and re-import just those.
Questions
What should the spreadsheet look like?
A row per member with columns for name, phone and/or email, and optionally a groups column. You map your headers during import, so the exact column names don’t matter.
What happens to duplicates?
A member with the same phone (Ghana) or email (US) as one already in the database is flagged, not added twice.
