The 7me app is digital tool designed to enhance membership management, communication and member engagement. It is a companion to the Adventist Church Management System (ACMS), the membership platform used by most local church clerks in Australia and New Zealand since 2020. Originally developed by IATec, the technology institute of the South American Division, the app was launched in 2018 and has since expanded to more than 100 countries.
The app offers a range of features to keep members connected, including a news feed from Adventist Media with updates from across the Pacific, a calendar function that promotes conference and local church events directly to members’ mobile devices, and an interactive prayer page where users can start or join a prayer group and send requests to the conference prayer coordinator.
7me also serves as a centralised resource hub, providing access to Bible translations, Sabbath school guides, Ellen G White’s writings, the Seventh-day Adventist Hymnal, eGiving, and streaming options for Hope Channel and Faith FM radio. It also enables members to initiate membership transfers directly within the app.
ACMS project manager Pastor Adrian Raethel says, “The app has the potential to significantly enhance communication between the conference, local churches and individual members. We are encouraging all conferences to consider introducing and sponsoring the app for all congregations within their territory, at least for the first 12 months.”
7me aligns with Australian Government privacy principles, allowing members to view, edit and update their personal information held by the Church, ensuring greater transparency and control over their data.
The 7me app is available for download on Google Play and the App Store.
