Migration Guide
Switch from Church Community Builder to CHOS
Move Available People and Services from CCB, then evaluate Volunteers Beta, Check-ins Beta, Rehearsals Beta, Notifications Beta, and AI Assistant Beta in a focused first pilot.
What to verify before moving from CCB
- Confirm CCB's current pricing, packaging, ownership, support, update cadence, and roadmap directly with the vendor
- Test both interfaces with the staff who operate the weekly workflow
- List the People and Services records that can move without weakening current Groups or child check-in operations
- Evaluate AI Assistant Beta only with permission-scoped active-module questions and staff review
- Keep CCB active until the selected CHOS workflows are proven with your data
Migration summary
How to evaluate CCB alongside CHOS
CHOS is church management software for a focused first pilot with Available People and Services plus Beta Volunteers, Check-ins, Rehearsals, Notifications, and AI Assistant. Keep Church Community Builder active for Preview and Unavailable workflows.
Switch selected workflows only if your church fits the one-campus, under-300 first-pilot boundary.
Keep CCB active until Available People and Services reproduce the selected workflow with your own data.
Switch selected workflows if AI Assistant Beta can answer your permission-scoped active-module questions without manual reports.
Do not move Preview, Unavailable, or unproven Beta workflows out of the incumbent system.
