Hi there! I see that you're already a member in the Church Center App but it's asking you to join again, and your membership shows as pending, preventing you from taking attendance. I’d like to help you get this sorted out.

To start, can you tell me if someone from your church administers the membership approval? Often, memberships show as pending when the admin hasn't yet approved your membership request or linked your profile fully in the system.

Here’s a step-by-step approach to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Check with your church administrator: Confirm if your membership request has been reviewed and approved on their end. Sometimes admins need to manually approve new or re-joining members for attendance and other permissions.

2. Log out and log back in: Try signing out of the Church Center App on your iPhone (iOS 18.7.1), then log back in fresh. This can help sync your current membership status properly.

3. Confirm your account details: Make sure you're logging in with the exact email or phone number associated with your membership. Sometimes using a different login can cause the app to treat you as a new user.

4. Update the app: Double-check if the Church Center App is updated to the latest version on your iPhone. An outdated app could sometimes misrepresent membership statuses.

If you have already tried these steps, let me know! Then I can guide you through checking for possible account or group membership settings, or we could look into contacting your church’s admin or even Planning Center support if needed.

Does that make sense so far? Are you able to contact your church admin to confirm the approval part?
