What is Breeze?
Breeze ChMS is a Church Management System which can be accessed through their website on your computer or their app on your smartphone or tablet. When you log in, you’ll have access to three areas on your dashboard:
My Profile
- Contact Information – update your phone numbers, your mailing and email addresses and those of your immediate family members
- Emergency Contact Information – add emergency contact information in case you’re involved in an emergency at BBUUC or we can’t contact you
- Giving – your donations and pledges for the time frame selected (earliest date is 7/1/2019). Contact Finance@BBUUC.org with any questions or if there are any discrepancies.
You can update your contact information and many of the items in your profile, and you can control how much of your contact information is displayed. Learn more under Who Can See My Information?
Only Members who have logged in will be able to access our online church database. You can control whether your address, email address, and phone numbers are visible to other congregants. Go to How Can I Control Who Sees My Information? on this page to learn more.

How Do I Access Breeze?
New members will receive an email invitation, “Create Your BBUUC 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 would like another invitation, please contact: Peg Christenson at finance@bbuuc.org.

Mobile App
You can also access Breeze from your smartphone or tablet. Download and install the Breeze ChMS App from the Apple Store or the Google Play Store. Look for the sailboat icon. You can also download the app directly from this link:

Who Can See My Information?

How Do I Change Information in My Profile?
It’s easy to make changes to information in your profile.
- Select the gray header above the information you want to change
- If the “click to edit section” appears click
- Make the changes
- Select “Save” on the gray header
If the section is not available for editing by the congregant, the “click to edit section” and “Save” buttons will not appear on the gray bar.
How Can I Control Who Sees My Information?
When you log in, you will see your own profile and your family members’ information. For other congregants, you will see contact information if they have not changed the privacy settings. If you set your email to Do Not Email or Make Private, you will still receive group emails sent out by BBUUC staff. If you do not wish to receive any emails from BBUUC, fill out the Unsubscribe form.
To set privacy for your contact information:
- Log in to Breeze
- Select “My Profile”
- Select the “Contact” header (gray bar)
- Under Phone, select “Show More Options”
- Use the “Make Private” checkbox to control what may be seen by other congregants
- If you wish all of your numbers to be visible, be sure all checkboxes are unchecked
- To select specific numbers, select the Make Private checkbox and then use the pull-down menu to select those phone numbers you wish to hide
- Select “Save” on the gray bar
Use the same procedure to set the visibility of your mailing address and email address.
Searches and Mapping
On the left side select Show More Filter Options under the Filter by Name box. Once you select it, more options will be displayed as shown. On smartphones, select the filter cone icon.
Select the criteria you want to include in your search. You can search by membership status, by zip code in the contacts section, or many other options. You can also select individuals by checking the box to the right of each person.
Once you’ve selected a group, select “More Actions” from the menu at the right side of the page. On smartphones, the star or pin icons appear at the bottom of the screen.

You can zoom in or out on the map to see more or less detail. Hover over a pin and a pop-up will show the name and address of the person. This feature is not supported in the app on your phone or tablet.
If there are any people in your selection that have an ambiguous address, there will be a message at the bottom of the map stating “Some addresses were unable to be mapped. Click here to see which ones.”
To save a search, select “More Actions” to the right and use “Save this Search”. Name your search results (e.g. My Zip) to use this search later.
