On Church Center web, congregants have always been able to browse Church Center as guests without logging in. This makes it easier for newcomers to get a feel for your church by browsing public group listings, calendar events, signups, sermons, and any custom page content you’ve made available.
Until now, checking out a church on Church Center app required congregants to log in using a phone number or email. For someone just exploring, this might feel like too much to ask.
Starting today, guest access is coming to Church Center app! When congregants search for your church, they'll soon see an option to "Continue as Guest":
Guests can access the same content available on Church Center web without logging in.
The big difference is that when the congregant navigates to a page that requires a login—like signing up for a group, signing up for an event, or viewing their profile—they'll be prompted to log in first.
Guest access for CCA will gradually roll out to churches over the next months. If you have any questions or feedback, we'd love to hear from you at support@planningcenter.com.
