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'll be required to login so we know who you are and what data you have permission to access.

You must be granted permissions from someone in your organization in order to do anything beyond logging in.

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