- Church name, public address, and logo
- Address, phone, and email
- Senior pastor, denomination, year founded, and description
- Service times (day and time)
- Time zone and church language

How sign-in works
There's no separate sign-up form. Your first sign-in creates your account, and then you set up your church yourself, with no approval to wait for.
- Sign in with Google
- Sign in with email and password
- Sign in with a 6-digit code sent to your email
05
How we protect your church data
Each church's data is kept separate, so users from other churches can't see yours. Every connection is encrypted with HTTPS.
- Servers in Helsinki, Finland (Hetzner)
- Sign-in handled by Supabase
- Two-factor authentication and IP restrictions are in the works
