*Privacy Settings:
You can choose who can view your contact info by clicking on the "Manage Privacy" button. To ensure that members of the church can view your contact information, please select "Anyone" as your privacy setting. (See screenshot below) If you choose "Anyone" the only information that will show will be your email, phone number, home address and birthdate without the year.
Setting your "Privacy" to either "Leaders & group/serving team members" or “Leaders” will opt you out of the Church directory. The Church Directory is where church members can look up your contact information, i.e., email, address (to possibly send a card) or a phone number.
