Your Profile
Everyone in our church gets a unique profile. Your profile contains everything you want people in our church to know about you. Your profile also enables you to join a small group, 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your giving, update your contact information, change family details, set notification preferences, or replace that outdated family photo.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 what data you want to show users by setting your privacy preferences.
See more about privacy below.
Your Privacy
Your information is your information.
You have complete control over who can see your contact and personal information.
Contact information is never public or searchable on the Internet. Any information you elect to make visible to your church family is always protected behind a login.
Authorized staff will always have access to your profile information.
You and certain authorized staff may update your profile information. In some cases, your group leader may update your contact information if you have made it visible to group leaders.
For safety reasons, sharing contact and personal information for children under 18 is limited. Parents determine whether or not to display their child’s name in the church directory.
Children under 13 may not participate and will not be able to sign in.
