Frequently asked questions about Publishing

Have more questions? We’re here to help. Contact support.

Can I create a branded app logo in the mobile app store?

It isn’t possible to create a branded app logo. The Church Center app will only display the church icon.

Is Publishing the same thing as Church Center?

Nope, they’re different! Church Center is the free mobile app and website for people in your church to give, sign up for events, watch sermons, and much more. Publishing is how you arrange what people see on Church Center and how they interact with your site and app. 

Can I use my own domain with Publishing?

There’s not currently a way to use a custom, purchased domain with Publishing. All websites created with Publishing will have .churchcenter in their URLs.

Can Church Center be embedded into our current website?

Yes! Depending on the page, you can use the provided URL to embed or link to your Church Center pages and share them with your church.
