When it comes to children’s ministry, it’s crucial to take measures to ensure the safety of each child. One simple step your church can take is to have a label for each child with a unique code on it, which should match with the label you give to the parent or guardian that they must present in order to check out their child. Fortunately, most ChMS vendors include this check-in and barcode printing functionality. If you’re preparing to establish this process, here are our top 12 top barcode printers for kids' ministry supported by church management systems.
If your church isn’t yet using church software to check in children at church, this type of software can be a wonderful option to put in place to ensure the safety of children—both to protect them and to protect your church. Nearly all of the church management software systems offer check-in, and there are many options to consider. As you move through the process of deciding on a system, you’ll want to consider the speed of check-in, self-check-in vs. volunteer manned check-in. Cost is also a factor.
