WHAT IS CHURCH CENTER?
Church Center is a mobile app and web experience that serves as a digital hub for our congregation to connect, engage, and manage your involvement with church. Members use Church Center to interact directly with the administrative tools our church staff and congregational leadership uses.
WHAT CAN I DO IN CHURCH CENTER?
- Online Giving: Members can safely submit donations, set up recurring payments, manage your annual pledge, choose specific funds, and track their giving history.
- Event Registration: You can sign up for upcoming and ongoing church events and programs, and pay for tickets or fees directly through the app.
- Group Management: Users can get connected and involved with active church groups, or get in touch with Councils, Committees, or other teams. Group leaders can email or chat with their group members, post shared resources, and more.
- Church Directory: Members can opt-in to a secure, shared digital directory to exchange contact information and see household photos.
- Profile Management: Individuals can log in securely using passwordless authentication to update their own contact information, addresses, and privacy settings.
PASSWORDLESS LOGIN:
Church Center uses a passwordless login, which is more secure than a traditional username and password combination. If you've had trouble getting logged into Church Center, review the steps on their Help forum (HERE).
VERIFY YOUR PERSONAL/HOUSEHOLD PROFILES:
Keep your Church Center profile up to date so your church can always contact you! You can also update your household members' information, such as medical notes and grades.

The directory is a private place for the people in your church to share their contact information. If you've been invited to your church's directory, you can view it and share your information, as well as that of your household members.
The information you choose to share is entirely up to you. No information will be shared without consent from you or someone in your household.

ALL GROUP MEMBERS, PLEASE NOTE:
Many groups listed are for group leader(s) communication only. Even if a group is marked Closed, a group's page is still the best place to contact group leader for more information. There may still be upcoming events or opportunities for you to get involved. To get in touch with a specific group, click the "Contact" button to send them an email.
GROUP LEADERS – MANAGE YOUR GROUP IN CHURCH CENTER:
From the Church Center app or web, you can add members to your group, send emails, create events, take attendance, view reports, and view/moderate group messaging. You must be logged in to Church Center to manage your groups.
Groups includes a tool for small groups to share resources, keep track of your meetings and scheduled events, stay in connection through messaging, and take attendance with Church Center. Church Center allows group members to keep up with one another in meaningful ways when they're not together, which creates strong bonds and more community.
GROUP LEADERS – ADD OR INVITE MEMBERS TO YOUR GROUP:
Send an invitation by email: Group leaders can add members by sending an email invitation from the members list in Groups.
Whether a person has requested to join your group from the invitation email or the public group page, Group Leaders must approve requests to officially add them to a group so they can view chat conversations, member contact info (if shown), and resources.
PLEASE NOTE: Event Requests are for First Universalist Members, Staff, and Pledging Friends ONLY.
The Event/Program Request Form is for First Universalist Members, Staff, and Pledging Friends to request a room for church meetings, programs, or events. For all other space requests, please refer to our Rentals page.
To request a room for a church event, meeting, or program, first check the calendar to see what has already been scheduled for the day(s) you would like to hold your event. If your desired event date is open, complete the Event/Programming Request Form, linked on the Calendar and Events page.
