Create your organization on Christian.com

Set up a new church, ministry, nonprofit, business or other organization from the organization setup at /onboarding. Your answers save as you go, and the listing is reviewed before it goes public.

If your organization isn't on Christian.com yet, create it from the organization setup at /onboarding. If it's already listed, claim it instead (see /help/admins/claim-your-listing). A church that wants its own website can start at /churches/create (see /help/admins/create-a-church-site).

Steps

  1. Sign in and go to /onboarding. From your dashboard you can also click Add an organization (or Finish setup if your own account setup isn't finished).
  2. Choose I represent an organization.
  3. Work through the steps. Click Continue after each one. Back returns to the previous step and Save & exit keeps your answers for later.

Here you can also use Build my listing from my website: paste your website, or your name and city as Google lists you, and click Draft my listing to fill in fields for you to check. - Primary contact: a contact name and a valid Contact email are required. - Location & service area: City and State are required. - Description: a One-line summary (140 characters or fewer) is required. You can also add a full description, Spanish versions, the languages you serve in and your hours. - Categories and Services: tick everything that applies. - Web & social: your website, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube links. - Photos & logo: upload a logo and a cover photo (PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 5 MB each). - Leadership declaration: describe the ownership or leadership of your organization and tick the affirmation.

  • You're the organization's owner.
  • If you applied for verification, a reviewer will ask for documents. Follow it at /verification (see /help/admins/get-verified).
