You can create your own custom pages for Church Center, such as forms, media, or additional information you might list on a bulletin. These pages are in addition to the built-in pages that link to Planning Center products.

Create a New Page

To create a new page, click Add Page in the All Pages tab.

Add a page title that will show in the Church Center navigation, and then click Create page.

Add your content to the page by dragging a block from the sidebar to the main page. You can add text, images, video, social media links, and section dividers with images and links.

Tip

On mobile devices, images will display at full width, so we recommend using an image at least 700px wide. On the web,  if the image is wider than the main body, we'll scale down the width.

You can even add links to People forms from any of the custom pages!

Tip

Don't add content to an item if you don't want it to show on the published page.

Publish a Page

When a custom page is completed, publish it so that it's viewable on Church Center.

Tip

The page won't be accessible from the Church Center until you add it to the navigation.

To publish from the editing view, click Publish in the upper right corner.
