Use Church Pictorial to collect photos and generate your PDF. Set the online directory to staff-only access — you get print benefits without exposing anything online.

Who is Church Pictorial built for?

Church admins, office staff, directory coordinators, and volunteers. If you can send an email, you can use it.
