Step by step

1

Create your organization workspace

Start by creating the main church workspace and confirm the name, branding, and core administrative details you want the platform to use.

2

Define your ministries or departments

Add the main ministry areas your church operates with, such as worship, media, youth, children, outreach, administration, or pastoral care.

3

Review your core records structure

Before importing people, confirm what information your church wants to track consistently such as phone, email, household details, follow-up status, and ministry involvement.

4

Invite the right team members

Bring in pastors, administrators, and ministry leaders once the structure is ready so each person enters a workspace that already makes sense.

Tips and best practices

  • Keep your first setup simple. Start with the core departments and expand once the team is comfortable.
  • Agree on naming conventions early so groups, events, and departments stay consistent over time.
