What Are Connect Cards?
Connect Cards are at the heart of your Church Connect page. They are digital "cards" that display information or act as clickable buttons.
For example, you can have a Connect Card that displays your church's mission statement or the verse of the week. You can also set up a Connect Card as a button that does things like open a prayer request form, link to Online Giving, display service times and locations, or register for an event.
How Do My People Access Church Connect?
In the Church Connect screen, your ministry has its own unique Church Connect URL. You can customize this URL using a ChurchTrac subdomain, or use a custom URL already owned by your church. You can also generate a unique QR code for your URL directly from the Page Setup tab. Simply go to the Actions menu and select the "Page QR Code" option.
You can display this QR code on your projection screen during worship, or in your bulletin or other printed material.
