How do you add songs that are under OneLicense. We use Lift Up Your Heads hymnal and there are a few OneLicense songs in there. Do we have to manually add them into this?
@ChurchTracSoftware2 күн бұрын
If the songs are in your Song Select library, you can import them into ChurchTrac. Otherwise, you can add them manually by selecting the "Add Song" button, then choose the "Add a New Song" option.

Matthew 24:24 - "For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." If ANYTHING in the church is not inspired by the Holy Spirit, it doesn't belong in the house of God. It all starts with convenience and an intention to do good, then it becomes acceptable, and finally necessary. Then even the church pushes God out of his own house.

I drive a school bus for our local school system.... it provides Medical Insurance, a small monthly check, and it is a great way to be around the kids in your area! it only takes about an hour and a half in the afternoon... the morning run is way before our church office opens so it doesn't take that much time out of your day. More Pastors need to do this!

Those who give to get a tax kick back have not given for the right reason, and what they have given is sham in the eyes of our lord. Those who give for these with this in mind, have not given what they have offered to give, and the only blessing coming to them is the small percentage tax write off from their taxable income from the government IRS. Those who sanction this type of giving are as wrong as they ones giving. Only a small percentage of tax payers will ever meet the allotted amount of standard deductions for charitable donations in the first place. This gimmick will benefit only a small percentage of the very wealthy attending church that is a government 501C-3 controlled church .

Love this content guys! As a tri-vocational pastor I am always looking for more work and a way to figure out how to provide for my family and my church. I do IT so I have several local companies that have me as their first line of technology related infrastructure and /or decision making and it pays the bills to allow me to continue to minister as a pastor. BTW - This content is needed and good for your company as well. I am following the footsteps of a pastor that chose ChurchTrac a few years ago and now in the process of looking for more. As I dove into ChurchTrac website I found that you already had developed the tech we were looking to implement to our small church. Now if I can only get my leadership to authorize a little bit more $ every month ;)

I'm glad to know that I can add a video card to my church's app. I would like more information as to how to add or embed the video into the card. It asks for a video ID. We upload our videos to KZbin weekly, but I do not know where or how to find this information, therefore my video will not play. A little assistance or tutorial as to where/how to locate the video ID would be greatly appreciated.
@Lysandrawalker3 ай бұрын
I found the information! For KZbin, it is in the settings when I upload the video (the alpha-numeric code under the video). I also found it in the video URL, just after "watch/?v=" I hope this helps others searching for this information.

As of right now, no. That's because our software isn't want is connecting to the printer. It's the browser you're using that connects to the printer. So the "Print Labels" button merely initiates that process. However, we are working on some big updates to the check-in process that we'll be releasing in the near future that will massively improve this process. Stay tuned!
