Verify your name appears on the welcome screen, and then select the Log in button.
Online Church Directory
The church directory is where church attenders and members can access other attender and member information such as mailing addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses. You will now access the online church directory from Church Center.
Note: There are two possible reasons you may not see someone in the church directory. Either they are not an attender/member or they have chosen to keep their information private.

How to set up your profile in the directory
A directory is a private place for the people in your church to share their contact information. If you've been invited to your church's directory, you can see the directory and share your information as well as the information of your household members.
Share Information
1. Log into Church Center using the email address the invite was sent to, and go to the directory, where you'll see a banner requesting that you share your information.
2. Click the Share it now link.
3. Check the box next to each person in your household you'd like to list in the directory and choose the information shown on their profile.
4. Add a household photo.
Change Shared Information
To edit the information shared for you or anyone in your household, go to your Directory profile. If your information has changed and you need to update it, you can do that from your profile.
Contact Other Members
Reach out to other members in the directory from their profile. Select Contact, and then type the message you'd like to send. The message is sent to their primary email address, and any replies will go to your primary email address.
