Trellis

Church settings

Change your church's name, time zone, logo and email colour, and find Team, billing, Silas, payments and the activity log.

Church settings holds what every part of Trellis shows about your church: its name, time zone and logo. Only admins can open it.

Open Church settings

Open the Church section, then Church settings at the right of its tabs. Its own tabs run along the top:

  • The church: name, time zone, logo, email colour, and your church's data.
  • Team: who can open your church and their roles. See Invite staff and leaders.
  • Campuses: where your church meets. See More than one campus.
  • Parts and billing: which parts are on, and the subscription. See Billing and your plan.
  • Silas: whether Silas reads for your church. See Silas settings.
  • Payments: the church's Stripe account, shared by Giving and Registration. See Set up giving.
  • Activity: who changed what, newest first.

Name and time zone

  1. Open Church settings.
  2. Change Church name.
  3. Pick your Time zone.
  4. Press Save.
  1. Under Church logo, press Upload a logo (or Replace the logo).
  2. Pick the file. It can be PNG, JPEG or WebP, up to 2 MB.
  3. Press Save. The logo isn't saved until you do.

The logo shows in the header and on the sign-in page, on a light tile, so a dark or coloured logo works best. Press Remove logo to take it off.

Email colour

Email colour is the colour of the rule under the church's name, the links and the buttons in every email the church sends. Untick Use the default colour and pick one. A dark colour reads best. Press Save.

What isn't here

  • The look of the app is the same for every church and every person.
  • Settings for one part live with that part: Groups, Communications, Giving, Serving and Worship planning each have a Settings tab. Most of what's in them is for admins; Communications and Worship planning settings also open to the people who work in those parts. The kinds of group, who to ask about groups, and the check-on rules are in Groups settings.
  • There's no street address for the church here. The church's billing address is kept by Stripe, not Trellis.

Your church's data

At the bottom of The church:
