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.
