Shiloh puts your church's day‑to‑day operations in one place, built for the staff and volunteers who keep the building running. Sign in with your church's app URL and go straight to the work that matters: • Facilities — Work through the maintenance queue, create requests, set priorities and due dates, and attach photos from the field. • Climate — See every building thermostat at a glance and adjust heat, cool, fan, or hold without walking to the wall unit. • Purchases — Submit purchase requests, log church‑card spend with receipts, and route each one through the right approval chain. • Approvals — Approve or deny purchases and facility budgets in a tap, with the full context in front of you. • Venue — Review the room schedule, layouts, and setup requirements for upcoming events. • PTO — Request time off and review your team's requests. • Workspaces — Keep shared runbooks, checklists, and notes close at hand. • Org Chart — See reporting lines and who approves what. • Vaults — Store and share credentials, Wi‑Fi passwords, and secure notes with the right people. Everything is organized by your role, so you see the tools you actually use, and push notifications keep approvers in the loop the moment a request comes in. Shiloh works with your organization's Shiloh account. You'll need an app URL and sign‑in credentials from your administrator to use it.
