Everyone in your church, in one place
Each person has one profile with their household, the forms they've filled out, the events they've attended and any follow-up they need. Serve and Give use that same record, so a change made once shows up across Sanctuary.
Free, with no limit on how many people you add.
Your people
Keep people and household information current
Church records go stale when keeping them current depends on one busy person. In Core, forms, registrations and other everyday activity update the same person record, so there's less to retype.
People and families
Everyone gets a profile, households stay linked, and children are connected to their parents. Change an address once and the rest of Sanctuary sees the update.
Forms that help with data entry
Publish a form and share the link. New people are added to your church’s people. When someone you know responds, missing details fill in, and answers that differ from their profile wait for staff to review. Possible duplicates are flagged for you to merge.
Calendar and registrations
Recurring events, room booking, capacity, tickets and add-ons, with a public calendar you can add to your website and a signup page for each event.
Lists that stay current
Describe who you mean, such as people new this year or at one campus, and the list updates as people change. Export it, email or text the people on it, or send them printed mail.
Tasks and follow-up
Assign tasks, set them to repeat, and add one from wherever you notice something needs doing. Follow-up can sit on the person it’s about.
Milestones and custom fields
Baptism, membership, a completed class, and any other details your church keeps. You can build lists from any of them.
Print & Mail
Letters, postcards, envelopes and labels, personalized from a list and laid out ready to print. Useful for the people email doesn’t reach.
Places and resources
Rooms and shared equipment for each campus. When two bookings overlap, Core flags the conflict so staff can sort it out.
Email and texting
Design a newsletter or send a text to one person or a whole list from inside Sanctuary, without exporting names to another tool. Email is free for lists of up to 500; texting needs a church phone number and text credits, which are billed separately.
Reach everyone
Text, email and mail, from the people already in Core
No exporting names into a texting service, an email tool and a mail-merge document. Pick a list once, then reach it the way each person reads.

Why free
Core is free, with no limit on people
Your church’s people and household records are the foundation of Sanctuary, so Core is included at no cost. It isn’t a trial, and there’s no cap on how many people you add.
When you need scheduling, giving and the My Church app, they come together in one plan, sized by campuses and team. Your people records are never what you pay for.
Personal details stay personal
Home addresses, birthdays and children’s details aren’t open to your whole team. Staff see them only once you give them Core access, and turning Core on doesn’t open them up to everyone in your church.
Someone who only builds schedules sees names, photos and campus. Giving history has its own permissions, granted separately.
Start with your people
Add your people free, then turn on scheduling or giving when you want them.
