Updating Contact Information

Follow

To ensure the ability for your church to reach your congregation, you will want to maintain accurate contact information for your records.

Within Church360° Members' structure, contact information can be added for both an individual person and their entire household. Phone numbers and emails added to a household will be reflected on an individual's record (marked as "household") but contacts for each member is not visible on the household record.

If this person is going to be invited to create a login for your Church360° Members site, you will want to make sure they have at least one email listed as a personal or work email for the login to be created.
