Is the bulletin maker free, and what uses AI credits?

Core bulletin creation, editing, sharing, and printing are free with a ChurchRaise account. Optional AI generation and AI assistants use AI credits when you choose those features.

Do congregation members need an account or an app to read it?

No. Members open a normal web link or scan a QR code in any browser. No app download and no account required to read the bulletin.

Can we print it? Which output formats are supported?

Yes. You can share a live digital bulletin and print when needed. Printable layouts are generated from your bulletin content, and links become QR codes on the printed page.

Can we use the same link or QR code each week?

Yes. Your church keeps a stable bulletin link. Update next week’s content and people with the same link or QR code see the current bulletin.

Can we retain previous bulletins in an archive?

Yes. Past bulletins can remain available in your archive so people can revisit previous weeks when you enable archive access.

Can we bring content from an existing Word document or PDF?

You can start from scratch in the editor, or optionally use AI to help turn a website URL or uploaded PDF/image into a first draft. Review and edit before publishing.

Can more than one team member edit the bulletin?

Yes. Invite staff or volunteers to your ChurchRaise organization so multiple people can help prepare the weekly bulletin.

Can we use the bulletin without moving our giving or membership system?

Yes. Digital bulletins work on their own. You can add giving or event links when useful, without migrating your full church stack.

Why churches move beyond static PDFs

Paper and PDF bulletins are hard to update after they go out, and many people never open the attachment on their phone. A live bulletin stays current, works on mobile, and still prints for people who want a paper copy.
