MissionaryConnect is designed to help churches stay connected to the missionaries they support. The platform allows churches to display missionaries on an interactive map, manage missionary profiles, and keep the harvest field visible before the congregation.
Whether you are a church administrator, missionary, or church member, getting started with MissionaryConnect is simple.
Who Can Use MissionaryConnect? #
MissionaryConnect is free for church members and missionaries to access and explore.
Churches use the platform to manage their missionary information and power their Digital Missions Display. Individual users, once approved by their church, can browse missionary profiles, view locations, and learn more about the missionaries their church supports.
Subscription Plans for Churches #
While the platform is free for members and missionaries to use, churches subscribe to MissionaryConnect in order to manage their Missions Display.
Church subscriptions are based on the number of missionaries a church supports.
Plans include:
• 10 Missionaries
• 30 Missionaries
• Unlimited Missionaries
Each plan allows church Admin or Staff to manage missionary profiles, locations, photos, and media within the MissionaryConnect system.
Creating Your Account #
All users must first create an account before accessing the MissionaryConnect platform.

https://missionaryconnect.app/register
During registration you will create your account and connect with your church’s MissionaryConnect system.
Subscribing as a Church #
Churches can choose a subscription plan during the registration process or after their account has been created.
Once subscribed, church administrators will be able to:
• Add and manage missionaries
• Set missionary locations on the map
• Upload photos, videos, and updates
• Configure the Digital Missions Display
• Manage church settings
Next Steps #
After registering, new users can log in and begin exploring MissionaryConnect.
Church administrators should begin by adding their missionaries and setting their locations so the missions display can accurately represent their church’s global outreach.
MissionaryConnect exists to help churches keep missionaries visible and encourage greater awareness, prayer, and engagement with the work of missions around the world.

00:00 All right, let’s get started. Okay. So folks, welcome to Missionary Connect. My name is Paul Douglas. I am going to show you, uh, the
00:10 process of logging into your account and just a couple of things after that. So, um, right now we’re gonna go ahead and sign
00:17 in. If you haven’t registered, please register when you sign in. And my, um, login screen is here, add your email and password and sign in
00:28 So once you’ve signed in, you have, uh, just a, kind of a list of things that have been going on recently, just things that have
00:36 been posted. You also have your Explore feature. So the Explore feature is designed for folks that have registered on their own and they’re looking for their church or a church to
00:46 that have been going on recently as things that been posted. You also have your explore feature. So, the explore feature is designed for folks that have registered on their own and they’re looking for their church or a church to find. Um, and so they’ll find a church
01:02 by typing in a church name. And once it is displayed, let’s go with just faith. We’ll just type in faith and click on one of these churches. So, if they want to join this church, they can click uh request to join right here.
01:19 So, when you click that button, gives you a little message area. Hey, I’d like to join your church and then send a request. Once you’ve uh they’ve sent that request, um you can find those requests when you log into your church account. So, I’m going to go ahead and
01:33 click on my churches. Most churches will have one church um your church that you can manage. So, we’re going to manage uh we’ll just work on Lester Baptist Church. Click the three dots here. Click manage. Now, this is all the church content. So, uh, for instance, this
01:49 church is public, so they can be found in the explore feature. If you don’t want people finding your church, you can click members only. So, people that you’ve only approved to be a member, or you can privatize it, so nobody can see it on the server, so no one can just go
02:02 to the internet, find your church, uh, information. Um, by design, um, we would, uh, prefer everybody to be used public, but um, that’s your choice. If you wanted to make it private for just my churches, for only the people that you’ve, um, have accepted as members.
02:17 Now, I mentioned that you would be able to accept those people that have uh request to join. So, you’d come down in the bottom left corner here and click on request to join. If there were any join requests, they would be in this area.
