Getting Started

Create your account, affirm the Statement of Faith, complete onboarding, and secure your sign-in.

What is Christ Everywhere?

Christ Everywhere is a faith-centered community platform that brings together everything a believer needs for daily spiritual life — and everything a leader needs to shepherd well — in one secure app:

  • The Word — a complete Bible reader with 23+ translations (including Telugu), commentary, audio, reading plans, and daily devotions.
  • Prayer — a living prayer wall where members post requests and pray for one another.
  • Community — churches, ministries, workplaces, and families with their own private groups, social feed, events, and messaging.
  • Stewardship — digital giving, a community marketplace, and volunteer scheduling.
  • Safety & governance — Statement-of-Faith onboarding, protection for minors, and layered content moderation.
Where can I use it? Christ Everywhere runs in any modern browser at christeverywhere.app, installs to your phone or desktop as an app (PWA), and is coming to the Apple App Store and Google Play.

Creating your account

Signing up takes about two minutes. The sign-up flow ensures every member of the community shares the same doctrinal foundation and agrees to community standards before participating.

Step 1 — Affirm the Statement of Faith

You'll be shown eleven doctrinal points, each supported by Scripture — covering the Holy Scriptures, the Trinity, Jesus Christ, Salvation, the Holy Spirit, the Fall of Man, Eternal Security, the Church, Baptism & Communion, the Second Coming, and the Eternal State.

  1. Read through each point carefully. Scroll to the bottom of the statement.
  2. The Continue button becomes active only after you've scrolled through the full statement.
  3. Tap Continue to affirm and move on.
Why is this required? Christ Everywhere is a doctrine-anchored community. Every member affirming the same foundation is what makes the platform a trusted space.

Step 2 — Accept the Terms of Service

The Terms cover community standards, your responsibilities, content guidelines, privacy, prohibited activities, moderation, and age requirements. As with the Statement of Faith, scroll to the bottom to activate the Continue button.

Step 3 — Choose your sign-up method

  • Continue with Email — create an account with your email address and a password.
  • Continue with Google — sign up in one tap with your Google account.

Step 4 — Verify your age

Enter your date of birth (MM/DD/YYYY). Christ Everywhere takes child safety seriously:

  • Sign-ups under age 13 are not permitted (COPPA).
  • Members aged 13–17 are routed to a parental-consent workflow before they can participate. A parent or guardian receives a consent request to approve.

Step 5 — Complete your details

Choose a display name, confirm your email, and set a password (Google sign-ups skip the password). You're in!

First-time onboarding

After your first sign-in you'll be guided through a short onboarding journey:

  1. Welcome — a brief introduction to the platform.
  2. Community discovery — browse public communities and join one or more that fit you (your church, your workplace, your city).
  3. Profile setup — add an avatar, a short bio about your faith journey, and your interests.
  4. Done — you land on your Home dashboard.
In a hurry? Each onboarding step has a Skip option. You can always join communities and complete your profile later.

Signing in & account security

Signing in

  • Use your email and password, or Continue with Google.
  • You stay signed in across visits on the same device until you sign out.

Forgot your password?

  1. On the sign-in screen, choose Forgot Password.
  2. Enter your account email. A recovery link is sent to your inbox.
  3. Follow the link to set a new password.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA)

Add a second layer of protection with one-time passcodes:

  1. Go to Settings → Account.
  2. Choose Enable MFA and request a passcode.
  3. Enter the code to verify. From then on, sign-ins require a fresh passcode.
Recommended for admins. If you lead a community or group, enable MFA — your account can manage other members.

Installing the app on your device

  1. Open christeverywhere.app in your phone or desktop browser.
  2. When the install prompt appears, tap Install (or use your browser's “Add to Home Screen” option).
  3. The app opens full-screen with its own icon, and core features work even with a weak connection.
