Set up your church in Masata
Create the basic structure your church needs so members, teams, and ministry workflows start in the right place.
Step by step
Register your church
On the Masata login page, choose “I am a Church Administrator”, then “Register a new church”. Create your account with Google or with your name, email, and password (at least 8 characters). Signup does not ask for a card. New organisations get a 30-day free trial of paid features when they first join.
Create your organization workspace
Complete the church workspace details Masata asks for — the name and core administrative information your team will see across the app.
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.
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.
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.
- Members of your church can sign in separately: on the login page they choose “I am a Church Member” and find the church by name or logo.
- The 30-day trial is for paid features on a new organisation. Free stays available after the trial if you do not choose a paid plan.
