Step 2: Add or Update Your Profile
Everyone in our church will have a unique profile. Your profile contains everything you want people to know about you. Your profile also enables you to RSVP to events, track your giving, update your contact information, change family details, set notification preferences, or replace that outdated family photo. By keeping your information current, you are helping our staff, group leaders, and our church community. Your Profile includes:
- Contact Information* (e.g. name, address, email, phone)
- Photo
- Family Members
- Personal Information (e.g. marital status, birthday**, etc.)
- Connected Social Media accounts
*You can decide later what data you want to hide online by setting your privacy preferences.
**Feel free to enter your full birthday. The year and your age will not be displayed on your church directory profile.”
Step 3: Start Engaging More Fully in Groups
Groups, ministries, and classes are an important part of our church, and now you can connect with the people in them throughout the week. You can keep track of upcoming meetings, events, who’s bringing what, and what’s going on in each other’s lives.”
