The directory is the heart of Church Directory Plus. It allows you to browse, search, and view contact information for members of your church.

Directory Views

The directory offers three different ways to view your church community:

๐Ÿ‘ฅ Members

Shows only active church members. This is the default view for most users.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿ‘งโ€๐Ÿ‘ฆ Families

Groups people into family units. Great for viewing households together.

๐Ÿ“‹ All People

Shows everyone in the directory, including non-members and children. Requires special permission.

Note: The "All People" tab is only visible if you have the view_directory_all_people permission. Contact your church administrator if you need access.

Alphabetical Navigation

For large directories, use the alphabetical index on the right side of the screen. Tap any letter to quickly jump to members whose last names begin with that letter.

Pull to Refresh

To get the latest directory updates, simply pull down on the list. The app will sync with the server and update any changed information.

Tip: The directory is cached locally for offline access. You can browse even without an internet connection!
