By keeping your information current, you are helping our staff, group leaders, and our church community. Your Profile includes:

  • Contact Information (e.g. name, address, email, phone*)

  • Photo

  • Family Members

  • Personal Information (e.g. marital status, birthday**, etc.)

  • Connected Social Media accounts

*You can decide what data you want to show users by setting your privacy preferences.
