Embed or link your Church Center pages
When your account is created, it comes with a unique default Church Center URL (ending in .churchcenter.com) to host your groups, events, forms, online donations, and more. You can customize this URL to better reflect your organization:
In Account settings, select Organization from the top navigation.
Select the Church Center tab from the left sidebar.
Enter a custom URL in the Church Center URL field.
Select Save Church Center URL.
Your custom URL will still end in .churchcenter.com, so the full format will be https://yourcustomURL.churchcenter.com. You can share this personalized Church Center link with your congregation and guests.
Tip
You can use Planning Center Publishing to customize your Church Center, including editing your home page, adding custom pages, hosting live sermon streams, and creating a library of videos or audio from previous services.
