Before you begin
Sign in to the correct organization and make sure this product is enabled. Creation and administration require the appropriate team role. Screens may differ with your language and permissions.
For a church with multiple locations, choose a campus in the top bar before creating a record. All permitted campuses combines only records you can access. Check the Campus field before saving; changing it transfers that record and requires access to both campuses. Policies and boards can also be church-wide.
Church owners and administrators add physical, online, or temporary campuses in Settings → Campuses. In Team & permissions, open Campus & product permissions to set each person’s campus, role, and products. A campus administrator manages records; church settings remain with church administrators and owners.
