In addition to updating contact information for you and your household, you can also manage various preferences, including changing the app's appearance and how you receive notifications.

Contact and Profile Information

In this section, you can update your contact information (such as email address, phone number, and mailing address), personal information (birthday, gender, grade, school name, marital status, anniversary date, primary campus, and medical notes), and your profile picture.

Household Information

You can view and update certain contact information for your household members.

Notice

You can not add or remove household members, names, or birthdates. An Administrator must make those changes because those changes can affect many administration processes.

Manage Your Giving Information

You can see your donation history, edit recurring donations, and see your giving statement from My Giving in the Activity & involvement section of My Church Center.

Note

The amount and fund for the recurring donation can be updated from the app, but not from the web. To edit the amount and fund from the web, you'll need to delete the recurring donation and initiate a new donation with the updated information.

3. Manage Payment Methods

Click an existing payment method to delete it. Add a new payment method by choosing the one you'd like and following the instructions.

If you remove a payment method that was used for a recurring donation, the next recurring donation will fail unless you update your recurring donation with a different saved payment method.

Note

Canadian Debit/Credit Cards: While all major credit cards are supported for Canadian organizations, only a limited number of debit cards will work. Visa Debit is supported, but Interac ATM cards or any card without a 3 or 4 digit CVC code are not.

4. Giving Statements

From the Statements tab, you can access your previous tax statements.
