Church Center is our online and smartphone portal for Alderwood. With Church Center, we have a place to connect to one another, join a group, sign up for an event, give online, and organize our volunteer teams at church. Church Center can be accessed through either our web portal or through the mobile app. Here are instructions on setting up and using the Church Center app on your phone.
Step 1: Download and Install the Church Center App
- Search your app store for “Church Center” or go to the Android or iOS app link.
- Download and install the app
- Run the app and click on “Get Started”
- Allow Church Center to find our church. To do so, either:
- Allow it to access your location & click “Alderwood Community Church”
OR - Search for our church by using the zip code “98036”
- Allow it to access your location & click “Alderwood Community Church”
- Click on the Alderwood Community Church logo and select “This is my church”
- Enter your phone number. Use the phone number you have provided us for the church directory, and one that allows text messaging.
- Church Center will text you a login code. Enter the login code in the app to continue to set up your password.
- Click on your user profile to log in.
- That’s it! You are all set up. From this point on, you should be logged in and you won’t need to perform these steps again.
