How to Organize Church & Religious Event Attendance with QR Codes

Start with a Google Sheet containing your attendees. For a Sunday service, this might be your member directory. For VBS or a conference, it's your registration list. Include important columns like 'Name', 'Email', and vital safety info like 'Parent Contact' or 'Medical Notes'—these will be available to your check-in team.

Open the QR Code Ticket add-on. Customize the pass design with your church logo and event theme. Map your spreadsheet columns to the ticket fields so volunteers see the right info (e.g., displaying 'Bus Number' or 'Cabin Assignment'). Send the QR codes via email or WhatsApp directly to parents or attendees in bulk.

On the day of the event, have your volunteers download the check-in app. Share access with them easily. They can scan QR codes from paper tickets or phone screens. The data syncs back to your Google Sheet, giving you real-time attendance numbers and a precise record of who is present for safety and follow-up.
