Getting Started

Welcome to Ministry Toolkit. This page walks through the one-time workspace setup that should happen before any tool gets used.

Sign in

Go to the login page and sign in with the email your administrator invited.

The app switcher

Each tool (Sign Ups, Follow Up, Attendance, etc.) is its own app. Switch between them using the app switcher in the top nav.

Workspace setup checklist

Run through these once when first setting up a workspace.

1. Connect your church database

Ministry Toolkit reads from and writes to your existing church database. Most apps need this connection before they're useful.

Connect under Workspace Settings → Integrations. The exact fields depend on which database you use; see Integrations for per-database setup instructions.

Once connected, sync runs on a schedule. You can also trigger it manually with the Sync button in any app's toolbar.

2. Set up ministries

If you organize your church by ministry (Youth, Kids, Worship, etc.), set those up under Workspace Settings → Ministries. Most data in Ministry Toolkit can be scoped to a ministry, and ministry leaders only see their own.

Skip this step if your workspace uses a single ministry.

3. Invite users

Under Workspace Settings → Users, invite staff and ministry leaders. Each user is assigned a role:

• Administrator for full access across all apps and settings.
• Ministry Leader for access scoped to their ministries.
• Member for read-only or limited access.

4. Pick which apps to enable

Under Workspace Settings, enable the apps your church will use. You can turn apps on and off at any time.

Ministries in day-to-day use

Once ministries are configured, use the ministry switcher in any app's top nav to filter what you see. Administrators can view "All Ministries"; ministry leaders see only the ministries they belong to.

Next steps

You're set up. Open the sidebar and dive into the docs for the apps you've enabled. Sign Ups is the most fully documented today; others will follow.
