Church Center allows your church members to manage their profile information, donations, events they've registered for, and groups they attend or lead. They can also view a church calendar or directory and fill out forms.
Church Center is always enabled on the web and is also available as a mobile app that your congregants can download for free.
-
The Church Center web provides your congregation access to your church's directory, groups, registrations, donation form, and church calendar.
Important
You can find the Church Center Web URL in your Publishing Settings.

The Church Center app has the same functionality as the web version, plus access to Check-Ins. The app can be downloaded for free to an iOS or Android device. An organization administrator can enable the Church Center app in the account settings or Publishing if subscribed.
Important
You can provide a direct link to your church in Church Center so your congregants don't have to search for it. This link is in the Church Center resources section within Publishing Settings.
Set your custom domain, enable the Church Center app, and adjust your Church Center settings from the Church Center tab on the Organization page in Account settings.
