Logging In

Your data is valuable and private. We get that! MinistryPlatform is a secure web application. It runs on a browser, so it's available anytime, anywhere you have internet access. You're required to log in so we know who you are and what data you have permission to access.

Someone in your organization must grant you permissions to do anything beyond logging in.

The Platform requires each user to log in with a username and password. Someone may have created this for you, or you may need to create a login yourself and have someone on your staff grant you the permissions you need.
