Step 1: Find & open the email invitation
Be on the lookout for an email invitation sent from “Amy Peschong [Easter Lutheran Church] <no-reply@planningcenteronline.com>” with the subject: “You are invited to join our directory.”
If you use Gmail, it will probably be routed to your “updates” or “promotions” tab.

Didn’t get an email? Email Amy Peschong apeschong@easter.org.
Step 2: Log-in with your mobile number or email address
Click the blue button that says “Join Directory” in the email. Follow the prompts to get started and log in. If you don’t want to use your mobile number to log in, you can use your email address instead by clicking "Use email address instead" below the “Next” button.
Step 3: Enter the 6-digit code
If you entered your mobile number, the system will send you a text message with a 6-digit code that functions as a one-time password. Type in the 6-digit code and click "Next."
If you entered your email address, the system will send you an email with a 6-digit code that functions as a one-time password. Type in the 6-digit code and click "Next."

Now that you’ve joined the directory, you can log-in to your Church Center account https://easter.churchcenter.com to browse the online directory and more. Currently, the directory is online-only, but we WILL be making a printed version and distributing those to whoever wants a hard copy. To do that, we need more people to opt-in to the online directory and add their photos!
