Church Center

Church Center is our new, easy to use hub for all of your church needs. In Church Center, you will be able to access the directory, manage your giving, view the church calendar, join small groups, and more. 

We're here to help as we roll out this new software. Check out the frequently asked questions below, and if they do not help with what you're looking for, you can write to our Administrative Director at amelia@oldsouth.org.

Why Church Center?

Church Center offers several benefits for both Old South members and staff, primarily focused on streamlining communication, service organization, and giving. It provides a centralized platform for managing church activities, engaging with the community, and fostering a sense of belonging. Key benefits include:

• Centralized platform: Church Center consolidates our church functions into one app, including communication, volunteering, giving, and small group participation. 
• Enhanced communication: Our members can easily access important information, receive notifications, and connect with each other, fostering a stronger sense of community. 
• Secure giving: Starting in January 2026, Old South members can make donations and manage their giving preferences securely.
• Mobile accessibility: The app is available on both iOS and Android devices.
• Community building: By facilitating communication and group participation, Church Center helps foster a stronger sense of community and belonging among our church members. 
• Service opportunity management: Church Center can be used to manage service opportunity schedules and communicate with those who serve, making it easier for members to get involved. 

How do I log in?

Church Center is available to download through Google Play or your Apple App Store. You can also visit oldsouthchurch.churchcenter.com/home  

Select Old South Church in Boston as your church to log in. Once you do, you’ll need to set up or log in to your account with your phone number. Church Center will send a code to your phone that you will need to enter to log in. Once you do so, you are all set!

How do I change my profile information?

Once logged in, tap the "Me" icon in the top right corner of the screen. This will take you to your personal profile page. On your profile page, you will see your current name and basic contact details, provided from the migration from our last software. Tap on “My profile and settings” (usually near the top). You can now edit fields like "Contact and profile information,” “Household,” and “Directory profile.”After making changes, tap “save” or “update” to confirm. 

You can also update your photo by clicking on the circle with your initials and selecting a photo from your phone or computer’s library.

How do I get access to the church directory?

To get access to the directory, please email amelia@oldsouth.org.

Who can see the church directory?

Only church members who have been invited to the directory can see each other’s information. You must consent to opt into the directory. The directory is not public information.

Why is my giving information out of date? Why can’t I see giving or the calendar yet? 

Giving and calendar won’t be released until January 2026. There might be some incomplete giving information on your account. Rest assured that we will have your updated information when the new year comes.

How secure is Church Center?

Church Center is SOC 2 Type 2 certified. The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) created the Service Organization Control (SOC 2) framework to test organizations’ ability to protect data from potential threats. Church Center also uses 2 factor identification to make it more secure.
