Use the full video when you want the entire tour. The shorter guides on this site take you directly to the part you need.
Your organization profile
Add the information people need.
The CMS works the same whether you are building a church, ministry, or channel page. Your tab names or positions may look slightly different.
Start with these fields
- TitleYour church, ministry, or channel name.
- DescriptionYou may copy this from your website or social media.
- WebsitePaste the full link to your public website.
- LogoUpload a PNG or JPEG that stays readable at a small size.

- Location or P.O. boxUseful when people may visit or mail something.
- Give URLYour Pushpay page or another secure giving link.
- Additional linksOnly include links that are current and useful.
Mobile app examples
What the organization setup becomes in the app
These examples are matched to organization-level CMS fields: a ministry profile and the organization welcome experience.
Ministry profile
Name, logo, description, follow/share actions, and home-ministry controls live together here.
Organization welcome
The featured organization artwork becomes part of the welcome experience when a user opens the organization.
Logo guidance
Keep the logo centered and simple.
A 1080 × 1080 square with the logo centered on a plain background generally looks strongest inside the app.
Choose the background for contrast.
A white background worked well behind Abundant Life’s orange logo. A darker or colored background may work better for a light logo.
- Leave open space around the logo.
- Avoid tiny words that disappear at small sizes.
- Check the logo beside the organization name in the public app.
Where it appears
Where the profile appears
The same organization information is presented differently on a phone and a large desktop screen. Keep the name, logo, and main description clear enough for both.
Mobile app examples
How an organization is discovered and opened
These examples are tied to the organization profile experience: a user can discover the organization, open it, and then see the page you are building in the CMS.
Church directory card
The organization image and name help people recognize your page before they open it.
Abundant Life welcome view
A featured organization image becomes a large first impression on mobile.
CrossTalk International welcome view
A centered subject and extra breathing room protect the image when it is shown tall.
