Edit your profile and photo

Change your name, headline, church, location, bio and profile photo in Settings, and add a cover photo on your Public profile page.

Your name, photo and the basics about you live in the Profile section of Settings. The cover photo and the longer sections of your profile page are on Public profile.

Change your details

  1. Sign in, open your account menu and choose Account settings (or go to /settings).
  2. In Profile, edit any of these: First name, Last name, Display name, Headline, Church or ministry, Location, Phone, Preferred contact (Email, Phone or SMS) and Bio.
  3. Click Save changes. You'll see Profile updated.

Your Display name is the name people see next to your posts, messages and profile.

Add or change your profile photo

  1. In Profile, find Profile photo and click Upload (or Change if you already have one).
  2. Choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP image up to 20 MB.
  3. Crop it and pick the part that shows. The Preview shows how it will look next to your posts, messages and in the menu.
  4. Click Save profile photo.

Your photo shows as a circle on your profile, in search and the network, and next to your posts and messages. Anyone who can see your name can see it.

Add a cover photo

  1. Go to /settings/profile, or click Username, cover photo, experience and links under the Profile form.
  2. In Photo and cover, find Cover photo and click Upload.
  3. Frame the part you want and save it.

The cover is the wide 4:1 banner across the top of your public profile. Wide photos work best, and it's shown exactly as you framed it on phones and computers.

Good to know

  • Your email, phone number and address are never published unless you choose to.
  • When you save, your bio and headline are checked against our community standards. You may see a notice if something needs a second look; your changes are still saved.
  • A public profile page at christian.com/yourname needs a plan. See Publish your profile page.
