Setting Up Your Church

Before you start creating events and adding people, take a few minutes to set up your church profile. This ensures everything looks right for your team and your community.

Before you begin

• You need the Admin role to change these settings.

Step-by-step

1. Go to Settings. Click Settings in the sidebar, then select General.

2. Upload your logo. Click the logo area and upload your church's logo. Use a square image, at least 200 x 200 pixels.

3. Enter your church name. Type your church's name in the Church name field. This appears throughout Churchday and on your public pages.

4. Set your custom web address. In the Public URL field, choose a short name for your church. This creates a public page at churchday.co/your-name where visitors can see your upcoming events.

5. Choose your timezone. Select the timezone your church operates in from the dropdown.

6. Set event defaults. These control the starting settings for every new event you create:

   • Default visibility — Choose Public (anyone can see it), Members (only members), or Private (only invited people).
   • Require registration — Turn this on if you want new events to require sign-up by default.
   • Enable check-in — Turn this on if you want attendance tracking on by default.

7. Click Save Changes.

Good to know

• You can change any of these settings at any time.
• Event defaults are just starting points — you can override them when creating individual events.
• Your custom web address can only contain lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens.
