My Church: Keep Your Congregation's Shared Life in View

A congregation's shared life is spread across many ordinary details: service times, a weekly update, an upcoming gathering, a reading group, a sermon, or a resource someone promised to send.

My Church brings those details together in a member's chosen church space. Alongside it, church-account tools let authorized representatives connect a local listing to a verified publishing account and share the church's own information.

The feature supports the relationship a person has with a real community. Selecting a church in Feason does not establish formal membership, grant a ministry role, or replace the church's own arrangements.

Choose a church connection deliberately

A signed-in member can search available church pages by name or town and choose a home church connection. A suggested page can help someone find the right congregation, but it does not connect the person automatically.

Some churches review connection requests. While a request is pending, the member can still see the public material available to visitors. Approval of a connection does not by itself give access to private groups or to the church's publishing team.

Members can change their home church or disconnect. Disconnecting preserves separate Flock memberships, because belonging to a reading group is a distinct relationship from choosing a church page.

The connection is not a public declaration placed automatically on a profile. Its status is available to the member and the church team as part of administering that relationship.

Bring published information into one place

The member home brings together service times, published updates, events in the coming week, linked Flocks, and resources such as sermons, courses, or reading plans.

That makes a useful question easier to answer: what is happening with the community I have chosen to follow? It also gives the church a way to keep its own words and details associated with its identity.

Event registration and resource actions open the public link supplied by the church. Feason does not currently provide a separate attendance or RSVP record for those actions. Following a link should not be mistaken for completing registration with another service.

Only published, visible information belongs in the member-facing space. An unfinished announcement or an unpublished church profile should remain outside it.

Give representatives an accountable claim process

Someone authorized to represent a congregation can request a claim from a local church listing. Submitting the request does not immediately grant editing or publishing rights.

Feason's review process checks authority using independently sourced church information. Approval creates a church account that begins as a private draft. The representative can then complete its information and publish it when ready.

This sequence helps distinguish a directory listing from a church's own publishing presence. It also avoids treating possession of an email address as sufficient proof that someone can speak for the congregation.

Start with the Churches directory to find a listing or explore an existing community page.

Keep group and personal boundaries intact

A church can link Flocks led by an authorized representative, making a group easier to find from the church's space. A church role alone does not grant access to another person's private Flock or its invitation details.

My Church also does not give the team a window into a member's private Journal, personal reading history, prayer activity, or contact list. Connecting to a church should not quietly become permission to inspect a person's interior life.

The member remains responsible for choosing what to share, and the group's own admission rules still apply.

Begin with what people actually need

My Church and the associated church tools are included in the public iPhone version 1.4.37 as well as the web feature. A congregation needs an appropriate published church account before its own material can appear there; every directory entry does not automatically have an active team behind it.

For a church representative, the first useful step may be keeping one service time and one update accurate. For a member, it may be finding the next gathering and opening the reading the group is using. The feature succeeds when those small acts of coordination make more room for presence, worship, and life together.
