Feature request: U.S. date format in ChurchTools
-
Dear ChurchTools Team,
Thank you for developing a program that helps us organize church activities and stay in touch with our congregation. Our church in Westfield, Massachusetts, has 1,150 members and about 800 children and young people. We also hold services at two additional locations, and ChurchTools helps us coordinate activities across all three locations.
We would appreciate the ability to choose a date format for our entire church. Could you add this option under Further settings, where the church’s time zone is set? This would let churches choose between the European format (DD.MM.YYYY) and the U.S. format (MM/DD/YYYY).
This is especially important for event invitations. For example, 05.06.2026 means June 5 in the European format, but someone accustomed to seeing the month first may read it as May 6. Several people have told us they were confused by dates in their invitations, which makes it difficult for us to use the invitation feature reliably.
We’ve shared this suggestion with you before and would be grateful if you would consider it again. Could you let us know whether you have plans to add this option?
Thank you for your work and for considering our request. May God bless you and your work!
Kind regards,
Andrey Kondratyev
Pastor, Russian Evangelical Baptist Church
Westfield, Massachusetts
