What Is Church Connect?
Church Connect is more than just an app for your church. It's also a member portal! It keeps you connected to your church throughout the week and gives you access to your member info, like your contact information and donation history.
In Church Connect, you can:
- Update your church profile
- Donate to the church
- Print your contribution statement for tax purposes
Depending on what features your church has enabled, you can also:
- Submit forms
- Register for events
- View your church's online directory
How Do I download My Church's App?
To download your church's app, enter the URL into your phone's browser or scan the QR code provided by your church. If you have an iPhone, follow the prompts on the screen to download the app. If you have an Android phone, tap the three buttons next to the URL and select Add to Home screen. See our Installing Church Connect article to learn more.
How Do I Register?
Select the "Sign In" button in the top-right corner of the screen. On the following page, select "Create an Account". Learn more about how to use Church Connect.
Next, enter your email address, state that you're not a robot, and continue. We will send an email with a passcode to the address you just submitted. Enter that passcode on the following screen.
What Happens When I Login?
Church Connect is even better when you sign in! When you do, you'll have access to Member-Only Church Content, plus you'll be able to view and edit your profile. As a signed-in user, select the menu (hamburger) in the top left to view the Connect options that have been enabled by your church.
If your church has enabled the online directory, you have the ability to opt in or out of the directory. If you opt-in, you can choose what information you want to include in the directory.
How Do I Make An Online Donation?
To give to your church through the online giving portal, first sign into your Church Connect account with the email address and password you used when you registered for an account.
Next, select the menu button in the top-left corner of the app. In the following menu, select the "Online Giving" option.
You can enter how much you wish to donate, establish recurring donations, and choose to cover the transaction fee. Afterward, you will be asked to enter your preferred payment method and payment information. Once you do that, you will be charged the amount you entered in the previous screen and the donation will automatically be added to your giving history.
