MissionaryConnect Quick Start Guide #

Step 1: Create Your Church Account #

MissionaryConnect.app is a web-based Missions Wall platform. That means there is no traditional software to install. Your church simply needs an internet connection and device with a modern web browser.

Before You Begin #

You will need:

  • A MissionaryConnect.app account
  • An internet-connected display device
  • A TV, touchscreen, monitor, or kiosk
  • A modern browser such as Chrome, Edge, Safari, or Firefox

Step 1: Log In to MissionaryConnect #

Open in a separate tab:

MissionaryConnect.app

Register as a new user or log in using your church account credentials.

Once logged in, you can Create Profile under your Account and then click My Churches to Add a Church and begin adding missionaries, and their prayer letters, photos, videos, and other missions content.

Step 2: Add Your Church Information #

From your dashboard:

    1. Click My Churches.
    2. Click the circle with 3 dots ( vertical ellipsis )
    3. Click Manage
  1. Upload your church logo, details, history, about us, etc.
  2. Click Settings → Map and confirm your display preferences.
  3. Save your changes.

This helps personalize your MissionaryConnect Profile for your congregation.

Step 3: Add Missionaries #

To add a missionary: #
  1. Go to the Church Home → Missionaries section.
  2. Select Add Missionary.
  3. Enter the missionary’s name.
  4. Add their email or enter no email for manual curation.
  5. Click Create.
  6. Now click Quick Edit.
  7. Add prayer letters, updates, videos, or support information.
  8. Save the missionary profile.
    PRO TIP: Most changes are saved automatically. If a section requires manual saving, a Save button will be provided. #

Repeat this process for each missionary your church supports.

Step 4: Choose Your Display Device #

MissionaryConnect can run on many common devices, including:

  • Smart TVs with a web browser
  • Windows computers
  • Mac computers
  • Mini PCs
  • Tablets
  • Touchscreen kiosks
  • Digital signage devices
For the best experience, we recommend using our Provisioned Android Device, computer, mini PC, or dedicated display stick connected to your TV or touchscreen. #

Step 5: Open the Display Page #

On your display device:

  1. Open the web browser.
  2. Go to your MissionaryConnect display link.
  3. Log in if prompted or click “Access App”.
  4. Use the vertical ellipsis to Manage.
  5. Activate Map
    PRO TIP: Make sure you set your PIN or make note of the one provided. #
  6. Tap Logo or Lock at the top left to exit maps.

Step 6: Put the Display in Full Screen Mode #

Once the Missions Wall is open, place the browser in full screen mode.

Common shortcuts:

  • Windows: Press F11
  • Mac: Press Control + Command + F
  • Chrome browser: Open the menu and select full screen

This gives your Missions Wall a clean, kiosk-style appearance.

Step 7: Test the Display #

Before making the display public, check the following:

  • Missionary photos display correctly
  • Prayer letters open properly
  • Videos play as expected
  • Touchscreen navigation works, if applicable
  • Internet connection is stable
  • The display stays awake and does not go to sleep

Step 8: Prevent the Device from Sleeping #

For a lobby display or kiosk, make sure the device does not automatically turn off.

On your display device:

  1. Open power or display settings.
  2. Turn off sleep mode.
  3. Disable automatic screen timeout.
  4. Make sure the browser remains open.

This helps keep your Missions Wall available before, during, and after services.

Step 9: Go Live #

Once everything is tested:

  1. Place the display in its final location.
  2. Open MissionaryConnect.app.
  3. Launch the Missions Wall.
  4. Enter full screen mode.
  5. Invite your church family to begin using it.

Your Missions Wall is now live.

Updating Missionary Information #

Step 5: Automatic Updates #

One huge advantage of a web app:

  • Updates are automatic.
  • No USB drives.
  • No downloading new versions.
  • Missionary data is  updated instantly, just tap the Globe Icon to reload!

Troubleshooting #

Disable sleep mode and screen timeout in the device settings.
