Tips & Tricks for Using Breeze

What is Breeze?

Breeze CHMS is CHurch Management Software which can be accessed through their website or their app.

How Do I Access Breeze?

Please email the UUFM office, uumankato@gmail.com, and ask to have an invitation link sent to you to create an account or please visit https://uufm.breezechms.com/login/create and use your name/email address to request an invitation to log in.

Either way, an email invitation will be sent to you to, “Create Your Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Mankato Account” with a link to set up your ID and password.  (Remember to create a strong and unique password!) This will connect you to your profile in the Breeze database. If you forget your password, you can reset it. You’ll just need access to the email account you used when you created your log in.

Website

You can access the Breeze website from https://uufm.breezechms.com/ or select “Breeze Member Login” under  the “Breeze” tab on this website.

Breeze App

If you are looking for a Breezy way to access the Breeze database on the go, check out our Breeze app. With the app, you will see similar functionality to the web-based version. Only now, at the ease of your fingertips.

Because you can utilize this app remotely, it then allows for you to quickly look up members and visitors within your database to access their contact information. The app allows you to easily give online, access your giving history and Manage Recurring Giving.

Breeze offers an app for iOS and Android! Here’s where you can access either of these apps: https://app.breezechms.com/app
