Changing Churches in the Church App

Updated:

Summary: This guide provides simple, step-by-step instructions on how to switch between church accounts within the Tithely Church App by accessing the "New Church Search" feature through either the slide-out menu or the Settings page, allowing you to easily find and connect with a new church based on name or location.

Before You Begin

  • You must have the Tithely Church App open on your mobile device.
  • The search process allows you to look up churches by name or location.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Accessing the New Church Search

You can access the search function from two locations:

  1. Via Slide-Out Menu: Tap the 3 lines () in the top left of the screen and select "New Church Search" at the bottom.
  2. Via Settings: Select the More tab on the bottom navigation bar, tap the gear icon in the upper left corner, and then select “New Church Search” under “Search.”

Finding Your New Church

  1. Search by Church Name: Type a specific church name (or denomination) into the top search bar and hit enter. [All results containing the text will be listed.]
  2. Search by Church Location: Use the bottom search bar.
    • If Location Services are on, your current address will fill automatically.
    • To search a different location, press the gray “X” next to the address, then enter your desired location.
  3. Select your desired church from the list. [Churches are sorted by distance from your current location, with closer churches shown first.]
  4. Wait for the icon change prompt to appear. [A notice will pop up asking if you want to change to a personalized app icon; confirm your choice to complete the switch.]

Troubleshooting & FAQs

  • Why did the app icon change? When you select a new church, a notice pops up asking if you want to change from the generic Tithely icon to the church's personalized app icon. Confirming this completes the switch.
  • Can I search for denominations? Yes, typing in a denomination name into the top search bar is a great way to find all associated churches.
  • How are the search results ordered? All church results are sorted by distance from your current location, showing closer churches first.
