1 min read Updated Feb 02, 2026

Bulk import allows administrators to add multiple members at once using a CSV or Excel file. This is especially useful when first setting up your church directory.

Web Admin Required: Bulk import is available through the web admin panel, not the mobile app. Contact Church Directory Plus support for access.

Preparing Your Data

Before importing, prepare your member data in a spreadsheet with these columns:

Column Required Format
First Name Yes Text
Last Name Yes Text
Cell Phone Yes 10+ digits
Email No Valid email
Birthday No YYYY-MM-DD
Address No Street, City, State, ZIP

Import Process

  1. Download the template from the admin panel to ensure correct formatting.
  2. Fill in your data following the column requirements.
  3. Upload the file through the admin import interface.
  4. Review the preview to verify data will import correctly.
  5. Confirm import to add all members to the directory.
Tip: Start with a small test import of 5-10 members to verify your data format is correct before importing your full list.
