Tabernacle Product Update - June 2026

We're always working to make Tabernacle better for churches, so managing administration takes less time and effort. Our newest update, released on 2 June 2026, brings in a bunch of new features and improvements that church leaders and administrators have asked for. This set of updates mainly sharpens up reporting, people management, receipt handling, and how you see your data.

Enhanced People Management

Search Added to Village, Colony, and Fellowship Filters

Location: People Dashboard/ Active Membership 

Finding members just got a lot easier. Now, when you use the Village, Colony, or Fellowship filters in the People List, there’s a search bar, so you can quickly find and filter records without scrolling through endless lists.

Bulk People Entry

Location: People Dashboard/ Active Membership 

Administrators can now add several people all at once with the new Bulk People Entry tool. It’s especially handy if you’re entering groups of members, lots of visitors, or new attendees, so you don’t need to add them one by one.

Household Statistics by Village and Fellowship

Location: People Dashboard/ Households

There’s a new filter to help you see how many households are in a specific Village or Fellowship. It gives you a clearer view of how your congregation’s spread out, which comes in handy for pastoral care, planning visits, and reporting.

Improvements to Giving and Financial Management

Bulk General Receipt Entry And Bulk Tithes Receipt Entry

Location: Financial Dashboard/ Budget 

Finance teams can now create multiple General Receipt records at once, cutting down on manual entry.

Recording lots of tithe transactions is easier with the new Bulk Tithes Receipt Entry feature. It’s quicker and more accurate for handling big numbers.

Duplicate Receipt Ledger Records

Location: Financial Dashboard/ Budget/ Receipt Ledger 

If you’ve got similar entries, you can now clone an existing Receipt Ledger record when creating a new one. No need to repeat all that work-this makes data entry smoother.

Tithe SMS Optimization

The Tithe SMS template has gotten a refresh, so messages are sent more efficiently. Now, selected churches only need to send one SMS per message when possible.

More Flexible Monthly Reporting

Location: Reports/ Contribution Giving Report 

Monthly reporting gets a big boost with a new way to group your reports. Now you can pick between grouping by Receipt Date or by Tithe Month. This helps you get more accurate giving analysis, especially if your church tracks tithes by the month they’re meant for, not just when you received them.

Continuing to Improve Tabernacle

All these updates come from our ongoing effort to give churches real tools that cut down on admin, so you have more time for ministry. Thanks for all the feedback and ideas from church leaders and admins using Tabernacle.
