Log In to MinistryPlatform

Use your username and password to log in to MinistryPlatform.

  1. Open a supported browser, and go to your MinistryPlatform URL.
  2. In the Username field, enter your username. If your organization has Simple Sign-On enabled, you can enter your email, phone number, or username.
  3. In the Password field, enter your password.
  4. Optional: Select the Keep Me Logged In checkbox. This option keeps you logged in on this device for up to three months or until you log out of MinistryPlatform. Only do this on trusted devices, like a personal computer.
  5. Click Log In.

If your username and password work, MinistryPlatform opens. If your username and password don't work or your administrator hasn't given you a security role, a message displays to let you know. Trouble logging in? Reset your password or contact your administrator.

Log In with a Code

Access MinistryPlatform with a code instead of your username and password.

Your church may allow you to log in using a unique code rather than remembering your password. This is called authentication via code. Authentication via code is a secure method to log in without the need to remember or reset your passwords.
Note: You can't authenticate via code if you created an account using an email or phone number that you share with someone else.
  1. Open a supported web browser, and go to your MinistryPlatform URL.
  2. In the Username field, enter your username.
  3. Click Get One-time Code.
  4. Select whether you want to receive the verification code by email or by text message.
    You'll receive either an email or text message with a six-digit verification code, depending on what you selected.
  5. Copy the six-digit verification code from the email or text message.
  6. Optional: Select the Keep me logged in on this device checkbox. This option keeps you logged in on this device for up to three months or until you log out of MinistryPlatform. Only do this on trusted devices, like a personal computer.
  7. On the login screen, enter the six-digit verification code in the corresponding text box.
    Note: This code expires in 10 minutes. Enter your verification code into the corresponding text box before these 10 minutes are up.
If your username and verification code work, MinistryPlatform opens. If your username or verification code doesn't work or your administrator hasn’t given you a security role, a message displays to let you know. Trouble logging in? Reset your password or contact your administrator.

Log In with Multi-factor Authentication

Enter a unique verification code to prove that you're you when you log in to MinistryPlatform.

Your church may have you enter a unique verification code to prove that you’re you when you log in. This is called multi-factor authentication, or MFA. MFA is an extra security measure to keep your information secure.
  1. Open a supported web browser and go to your MinistryPlatform URL.
  2. In the Username field, enter your username.
  3. In the Password field, enter your password.
  4. Select whether you want to receive your verification code through text or email.
  5. Click Send Verification Code.
    You'll receive either an email or text message with a six-digit verification code, depending on what you selected.
  6. Copy the six-digit verification code from the email or text message.
  7. Optional: Select the Keep me logged in on this device checkbox. This option keeps you logged in on this device for up to three months or until you log out of MinistryPlatform. Only do this on trusted devices, like a personal computer.
  8. Back on the login screen, enter the six-digit verification code into the corresponding text box.
    Note: The code expires in 10 minutes. Enter your verification code into the corresponding text box before these 10 minutes are up.
