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. An Organization Administrator can enable the Church Center app in the account settings or Publishing, if you're subscribed.
Church Center is always enabled on the web and is also available as a mobile app that your congregants can download for free.
