Contacts & Households

Add people, connect them into households and relationships, and keep every record accurate without the busywork.

Create a contact from the Contacts area. At minimum you'll add a name; from there you can fill in as much as you like — photo, addresses, phone numbers, email, birthday, and other details.

On mobile you can add people even when you're offline. The record is saved on your device immediately and syncs to the server the next time you have a connection.

A contact is a single person. A household groups people who live or belong together — a family, a couple, a household of roommates. Grouping people into households lets you see families at a glance, share an address, and keep the directory organized the way people actually live.

Open a household and use the family members editor to add people to it, or add an existing contact to a household from their record. You can add several members inline without leaving the page.

Households can share a photo and address, and individuals can still keep their own details where they differ.

Beyond household membership, you can record specific relationships between people — spouse, parent, child, and more. This helps you understand family structure and pastoral context at a glance, especially for weddings, funerals, and family visits.

You can also attach labels, groups, skills, and custom details to a contact to capture the ways your ministry actually thinks about people.

Yes, and it's one of the best ways to keep your records clean. Members can edit their own contact record, and you can send a household a secure family update invite so they can confirm addresses, phone numbers, birthdays, and family members for the whole household at once.

The invite is tied to a specific contact by a secure token, and the person still signs in through the normal magic link, so updates are safe and attributed to the right household.

You can export your people at any time to Excel, PDF, Word, or Markdown — useful for a printed roster, a board report, or a backup. Your data is always yours to take with you.

When you delete a contact or household that has a photo, Pax also removes the stored photo file, so nothing is left behind. Deletions apply across your organization once they sync.
