Start Aligned Church if you already use Aligned Leader

You already write sermons and studies in Aligned Leader. Aligned Church is the church-office side of the same account: your website, giving, texting and your people, run from one chat. Starting it takes a couple of minutes and changes nothing in Aligned Leader.

In Aligned Leader, press **Chat Free** on the **Introducing Aligned Church** card

1/5 · In Aligned Leader, press Chat Free on the Introducing Aligned Church card

Before you start: You use Aligned Leader and you're your church's account owner. Only the owner can start Aligned Church for your church.
Open Aligned Church

Good to know

  • Aligned Leader Pro and Aligned Church are separate plans. Starting Aligned Church doesn't change your Pro plan.
  • Ask for a sermon or study in the Aligned Church chat and a button carries your words over to Aligned Leader.
  • On the card, Remind me later brings it back after a day, twice at most. The × puts it away for good, and the Church switch still works any time.

If it’s not working

I don't see the Introducing Aligned Church card

It only shows to your church's owner, and only before your church has started Aligned Church. Press Church in the switch at the top left instead.

There's no Getting set up card on my Home screen

That's expected for a church that has used Aligned Leader for a while. Press Setup at the top of the screen and your checklist opens there, with Finish account setup marked Start here.

It says to ask my church's owner

You're signed in on a staff seat. Only the account owner can start Aligned Church for your church, so ask them to open it.

The card keeps coming back

Remind me later brings it back after a day. Press the × at its top right to put it away for good.
