Church News¶

The Church News section of the TouchPoint Home Page is where your System Admin can create a blog for just the TouchPoint users at your church, whereas the BVCMS News blog is displayed to all TouchPoint churches.

If you see content in the Church News section on your Home Page, be sure to start reading it regularly, as it will contain important information for you from your administrator.

System Admins: If you are not currently using this feature and are interested in doing so, just create a setting called ChurchFeedUrl and put in there your church’s blog feed url. Remember, all your users that have Access role will be able to view this, including those with OrgLeadersOnly role. The only users who cannot view it are those users without any roles - those who can only access their data.

If you don’t have a blog already, just create a blog at blogger.com or wordpress.com - any blog that has the ability to give you a news feed. Then put the news feed URL in the setting ChurchNewsBlog.

For example Bellevue’s Settings looks like this:
