Quick Start

The fastest path is to create the church account, confirm core settings, invite your team, add initial church data, then publish the member-facing app configuration.

1

Register or sign in

Use the onboarding site to register the church, select a plan, and create the first admin account. Returning users sign in through the dashboard.

2

Complete church settings

Open Settings and confirm church profile, contact details, branch structure, billing plan, email domain, map keys, YouTube integration, AI provider settings, and other integrations.

3

Invite staff and assign roles

Open Users & Roles, create accounts for pastors, finance users, ministry staff, community managers, and branch teams. Assign the narrowest role that gives each person the access they need.

4

Add content and people

Add members, sermons, events, giving campaigns, publications, groups, announcements, prayer requests, and branch details manually or through Data Import.

5

Customize and publish the app

Use App Designer, App Texts, App Images, and feature visibility controls to shape the mobile app. Preview the result, then publish changes when the configuration is ready.

Roles and Access

The Rehoboth uses role-based access so churches can protect sensitive information while giving each team enough room to work.

Dashboard Overview

The dashboard is the daily command center for church operations. It brings ministry activity, giving, events, members, storage, prayer, and recent items into one place.
