In your public profile, you give people an impression of your church community. Here you can share important information and briefly describe who you are and what makes you special. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To create or edit public profiles, go to Public Relations<\/a> in your ChurchTools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Call up church profile and campuses profiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Under Public profiles<\/em> (1) you will find your church profile<\/em> (2) and your campuses profiles<\/em> (3) if you have created additional campuses<\/a> in the system settings<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Store information in the profiles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If community information is already stored in the system settings<\/em>, you will find it here in your profile. If you change something, these changes will be applied in both directions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

URL (community profile only)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The URL of your community profile is automatically suggested as find.church.tools\/beispielkirche<\/code>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to use a different URL, you can edit it here. Only lowercase letters from a-z, numbers and hyphens are allowed. Do not use umlauts, special characters or spaces. If the URL you are entering is already taken, you will be notified immediately. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

General information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the first block you enter the name and abbreviation of your church. The full name<\/em> is displayed at login, among other things. The abbreviated name<\/em> appears, for example, in the top left of the blue menu bar and in the subject of system emails. The abbreviation<\/em> of a campus is used in the list of people, for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can add and edit your logo<\/em> and an appealing cover image<\/em> in the next section. While the logo appears in various places, the cover image is mainly used in the ChurchTools Finder<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The address<\/em> you enter here will be displayed on a map in the ChurchTools Finder<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the last block of this section, you can enter contact details such as your website<\/em>, e-mail address<\/em> and telephone number<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About your community<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In the short introduction<\/em>, you can describe your congregation in up to 800 characters. You can also indicate whether your congregation belongs to a particular denomination<\/em> and select whether it belongs<\/em> to an association, federation, regional church or diocese (see note). Choose up to three appropriate tags<\/em> that describe your community well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
