Publishing helps you manage what your congregants can access on Church Center. You can create custom pages, change the navigation, and share sermon content.
Each product you're subscribed to has a built-in page on Church Center, and those pages can be managed in the product itself.
You can create a custom home page, and depending on your Publishing subscription level, you can create additional custom pages with your content, links to Forms, and videos.
Once you create a page, you can immediately add it to the navigationor wait to release it to Church Center.
