Creating and Editing Cards

At the heart of Church Connect are Cards, with each serving a specific purpose. This article gives an overview of how to create and edit cards for your Connect Page.


Creating Cards

To create a card, select the "add" button located next to your Church Connect URL.

Add Connect Card

You will be given the option for which type of card you wish to add.

Card Types

Since each card type serves a unique purpose or provides a specific function, we've created additional articles to walk you through each one:

  • A Page Card allows you to create a virtual 'webpage' with your own content. You can define what content appears when someone clicks on your Page card.

  • A Link Card creates a clickable hyperlink to a page on another website. You can link to your main website, social media page, etc.

  • A Form Card allows you to create a web form to collect information, requests, or spiritual decisions. Form cards work great for even collecting information during your worship services, like guest information and prayer requests.

  • An Registration Card creates a clickable registration link for a Public event from your Events screen.

  • A Giving Card creates a quick link to access your online giving page.

  • An Attendance Card creates a card that allows a person to mark themselves and family members present.

  • A Quote Card allows you to type a quote or a Bible verse to display on your Connect page. Quote cards are not clickable...they're just there to look good!

  • A Gallery Card creates a media gallery for displaying images and more.

  • A Video Card adds a video that can be played within the Connect page.

  • An Expandable Card expands to display additional information when selected.

You can attach an image to many of the cards in Church Connect. The native image width on Connect Cards is 1,200 pixels. We recommend making your images this size to ensure your cards display properly. Cards without an image or text will NOT display on your Connect Page.

Editing Cards

Cards have the ability for you to customize Titles, Headers, Footers, Background Colors, Card Images, Text alignment & more. The type of Card you are editing will determine the level of customization that card offers. Selecting a card will bring a flyout menu for editing and customization.

Card Status

Cards have a "Card Status" and "Hide this Card After (optional date)" options. Card Status controls the visibility of the Card on Church Connect. You can select one of the 4 following statuses:

  • Displayed (until Date below)
  • Displayed when a member is logged in
  • Displayed when a member is NOT logged in
  • Hidden

Sorting Cards

As you create more cards, you can order them however you desire. To do this, select the sort button to the right of your Church Connect URL. You will notice that your pointer will change from a "hand pointing" to a "hand grabbing". From here you can drag your cards in a specific order.

Sort Connect Cards

The vast majority of your Guests and Members will be accessing your Church Connect page on their smartphone. Keep this in mind as you determine which cards you want to create and the order that you place them.

If your church/ministry does not have a website or is having a hard time keeping your current website relevant, Church Connect can fill this void. See our article Using Church Connect as a Website Replacement.
