Create an Account

Create your MinistryPlatform account, username, and password.

  • Make sure you have your MinistryPlatform URL. If you don't know where to find it, ask your administrator.
First, you need an account. You may or may not need to create an account yourself. Ask your administrator for more information. If you do need to create an account, here's how to do it.
Create the Account
  1. Open a supported web browser, and go to your MinistryPlatform URL.
  2. Click Create an account.
  3. In the First Name field, enter your first name.
  4. In the Last Name field, enter your last name.
  5. In the Email Address field, enter your email address.
    Tip: Use a unique email address. If you use a shared email address, you can't use the Forgot Password option to change your password in the future.
  6. Optional: In the Mobile Phone field, enter your mobile phone number.
  7. Optional: To receive text messages from your church, select the I agree to opt in to text messages from [your church name] checkbox. You can opt out at any time by updating your communication preferences.
    Note: You can also sign up with an existing social login account. For more information, see Sign Up Using a Social Login.
  8. Click Next.
    You'll receive a confirmation email or text message within a few minutes. For security purposes, this code is only valid for 10 minutes.
  9. If you entered a mobile phone number, you can select whether to receive a text message or email to verify your account. Otherwise, go to the next step.
Confirm the Account
  1. Open the confirmation email or text message.
  2. Copy the one-time confirmation code.
  3. Back in your MinistryPlatform browser, paste the one-time code into the Code field.
  4. Click Verify Code.
    Tip: Didn't receive your code? Be sure to check your spam folder! If you didn't receive the code or the time expired, click Resend Code to receive a new code and try again.
Create Your Username and Password
  1. In the Username field, enter a username. This field defaults to the email address you provided, but you can enter a different username.
  2. In the New Password field, enter a password.
    Note: Passwords must meet the requirements listed in MinistryPlatform. This helps ensure your password is strong and creative enough to keep your account and MinistryPlatform data secure. Contact your administrator with any questions around password requirements.
  3. In the Confirm Password field, re-enter your password.
    These will be your username and password you'll use to log in to MinistryPlatform and its applications.
  4. Click Create Account.
    You'll return to the login screen.
Now your administrator must give you permissions to access certain features in MinistryPlatform. Contact your administrator to receive the appropriate permissions.
