Passport
What Passport is
Passport is church management software focused on visitor retention and helping congregations connect, grow, and serve. Churches can collect guest details with QR-code connection cards that open in a browser, so visitors do not need an app to respond. Its Plus plan adds automated follow-up texts and tracking of a visitor’s first 30 days. Attendees can find and join small groups through the portal, while churches can offer in-person or virtual classes with enrollment, prerequisites, learning paths, and completion rewards. Ministry coordinators can manage volunteer rosters and availability, and members can look for ministries suited to their gifts. Passport works on Android, iOS, and the web, and imports member data from Breeze or Planning Center; the Breeze import is one-way and Planning Center data comes in by CSV. Plans are listed at $9.95 per month for Basic, $49.00 per month for Plus, and $99.00 per month for Pro. A separate note lists pricing from $5.60/mo with annual billing. There is a 30-day trial, but no free plan. Texting and email are billed separately by usage.
