How do I find my interactive community members area?

There are several ways to find your online community. Most churches with web sites have placed a button on the front page of the churches web site that takes you to your community. Simply go to your churches web site and click on the button. If your church hasn't set up a link (or they don't have a website), you can go to myflock.com and click on the members area button. If you have not previously logged into your community, select the button.

What is my password?

Your church administrator initially sets your password. Contact your administrator via email by clicking the "contact your admin" button on the top of any of your member community pages.

What do I do if I forget my password?

Select the "I forgot my password" link at the bottom of the login screen for instructions. Your administrator will then reset your password for you.

What information is shared and how?

The following church information on the left side of your community web site is available to anyone visiting the site:

  • Church announcement area
  • Church Quick Poll
  • Church Summary Information and Demographic Statistics
  • Church Calendar
  • Church Communication Center
  • Church Business Directory
  • Church Chat Room
  • Church Sermon Notes

The following links are also available to visitors to your site:

  • Online Donations to your Church
  • Christian News
  • Your City's Local Weather
  • Free myFlock.com email account

In order to access the following links on your site, you must be a member of the church with a valid login and password (only your church system administrator can grant logins and passwords). You must be 13 years old or older to be granted a login and password:

  • Your Member Spotlight
  • Update Your Profile
  • Top 10 Most Like Me
  • Find Someone...
  • Church Membership Directory
  • View My Contributions
  • My Personal Web Page

In the "Members Only" area, other members of your church can view your personal profile information (except income information). The personal profile information includes your general, family, and work information, as well as your preferences in leisure, hobbies, music, etc. You can elect to not disclose your real name with your profile information. The sharing of personal information among your fellow church members is intended to increase fellowship and friendship opportunities in your church. Completing a profile in your church's community area is totally voluntary. Members who do not complete profiles will not be included in the church fellowship matching database.

Member web page links are only available within the church community area. Although, if you know the URL to a members web page outside your community, you can access their web page.

Aggregate information (average age, education, marital status, etc.) based on personal profile data is made available in the Church Summary area. See our privacy policy for more information.
