Share information with people in the directory
A 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 see the directory and share your information, as well as the information 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.
Important
Only your church's administrators can set up the directory, set the parameters of the contact information, and invite people.
