One church directory everyone can carry.
A church directory only helps if people can actually reach it. Here's how WayHouse keeps one directory current and in everyone's pocket.
Most church directories die the same way. Someone builds a beautiful PDF in the spring. By fall, three families have moved, two have new numbers, and a baby has arrived. The directory is now fiction, and nobody trusts it. The problem was never the design. It was that the directory couldn't keep up.
One profile per person
WayHouse keeps one record for each person and one household for each family. Update a phone number once and it's right everywhere. One place, always current. No duplicate entries, no re-typing, no separate spreadsheet that slowly disagrees with reality.
Members keep their own details current
The best way to keep a directory accurate is to let people update themselves. From the member portal, anyone can fix their own phone, email, or address in a few seconds. Your directory stays current on its own. No chasing.
In everyone's pocket
A directory only helps if people can reach it when they need it. Yours lives in the WayHouse app your members already have, searchable in seconds. Need to call the person you're bringing a meal to? It's right there, no PDF to dig up.
You decide what's shared
Not everyone wants their address in the church directory, and that's fine. Members choose what's visible, so the directory stays useful without asking anyone to overshare.

The directory is part of People, WayHouse's member database, and it's on every plan including the free one. If your church is on WayHouse, it's current right now, without anyone rebuilding a PDF.
