Registrations and applications – recorded digitally, processed automatically.

There are countless registration processes in every parish: confirmation and First Communion classes, camps, concerts, baptisms. With ChurchDesk forms, people can conveniently register online – and the data flows directly into your administration securely and without re-entering data.

What it does

A form for every occasion – without paper and without re-entering data.

Registrations on paper, by email and in Excel lists cost time and involve errors. ChurchDesk forms bundle every registration and application process in one place: convenient for people, relieving the burden on the parish, unified for the diocese and regional church.

  • For the member

    Register in just a few minutes from your smartphone – for leisure, a concert or a baptism, without a paper form and without waiting.

  • For the parish

    With their consent, those who register end up directly in the contacts module; Lists, tickets and payments are created automatically – without double entry.

  • For the diocese and regional church

    Unified templates and a data protection-compliant process for all municipalities – centrally provided and controllable.

Every registration enriches your contact database – automatically.

At ChurchDesk, a form is not an isolated tool: Anyone who registers ends up as a contact in the CRM, a ticket appears in the calendar, a donation in fundraising – one shared data set instead of separate lists.

In this way, your parishes work on a system, with one login and one shared database that dioceses and regional churches can specify and support in a unified manner.

Created quickly

The appropriate form can be built in minutes.

Start with a template for registration, life celebrations or events – or build your own form using drag-and-drop. In the preview you can see exactly what the finished form will look like as you create it.

  • Ready-made templates: From baptisms to weddings to summer leisure activities – proven templates as a starting point.
  • Drag-and-drop: Put fields and sections together with a click of the mouse, without any technical knowledge.
  • Dynamic preview: You can see every change immediately before the form goes live.

Connected to your contacts

Every registration becomes a maintained contact.

Anyone who submits a form will automatically be added to the contacts module with their consent. Using stored keywords, the right contact groups are created directly – for example all baptismal parents or all confirmation candidates in a year – which you can then reach later.

  • Automatically in the CRM: Registered people are saved as contacts in compliance with data protection regulations – no typing.
  • Groups at the touch of a button: Keywords form contact groups such as “Baptism Parents 2025” for later communication.
  • One database: Registrations expand the existing database instead of creating a new list.
