1.0     Introduction

Church membership registration is the art of signing up for the state of being a member of a church. Church membership registration systems typically assist in the efficient management of membership and registrations, and may also assist in fundraising, events, and report generation.

Membership organizations have diverse needs and structures, and this is reflected in the additional features membership software sometimes includes: organizing and selling tickets to events or series’ of events; publishing and delivering textual or audio-visual content; providing advertising opportunities via listings or targeted placements; facilitating interaction and collaborative file sharing between members; tracking members’ interests and activity to provide relevant services; raising supplementary income from donations. Membership registration systems often integrate the core features of a content management system, to provide a single coherent interface for members and administrators. They do this by using generic database or spreadsheet software, and adding on external options as they need them; for instance event registration, etc. [2].
