Should we use a People form or Church Center to get attendees to update their profiles, and will a form create duplicates?

Answer

Use Church Center profile updates first (no duplicate risk), then a People form with 'Require login' enabled for collecting additional fields — duplicates are avoided when login is required or when submitters use their existing email.
