Thank you so much for checking out our digital connection place.  This is the place to view your contact information, church calendar, periodic updates and giving statments.  

You can also connect your different family members to your profile, for easier check in at Children's church. Your user name is typically your firstname.lastname.  

In an effort to keep things organized, in order and functional, we are working hard to manage the data we have about our members.

Having accurate data allows for better communication and better connections.

Would you please take a moment, log into your CFC Harlingen Elvanto account and verify your information?

Once you log in you can click your name at the top right, then select "My Profile".  From the "My Profile" page you can edit your own data, add a picture, and even connect your Facebook profile.

This would greatly assist us in keeping our communications and connection systems efficient.

You will see there are other things you can edit or view in your profile as well:

1. Link/Add family members to your profile

2. View Giving Statements

3. Manage Volunteering Preferences

Take a look, help us out, THANK YOU

Thank you for your patience as we implement this new management and communication system. I realize I have not give any training on how the system works. I am happy to sit down with anyone who would like more info or help than what I have outlined below: 

Elvanto is the one of the tools we have to organize, to launch and to measure groups.  This system is capable of much but, specifically, it is the place to keep your group organized including being able to communicate with the entire group all at once. Later I will show you how to edit people in your group, how to add or delete people from your group and how to communicate with your group but for now my objective is to get you logged in and able to access your group.

Step 1:

Use the email I sent you to login - click on the second link in the email - the one where you set your own password. I can resend this email if you need - just shoot me a text (956-244-1261) or email (brandon@cfcharlingen.com) 

Step 2:

Once you clink on email link you will see the page pictured below. Create your password there. 

Step 3:

Once your password is created you will be logged in and land the page pictured below. The current post on the landing page will vary, but the top menu and side bars will look the same. GO to the ADMIN AREA by clicking on the menu in the top right corner.

Step 4:

In the ADMIN Area click on groups in the lefthand side menu. You will then see a list of any of the groups you are a part of. Click on the one that you lead to see the members of you group. ( You can only edit groups that you lead)

Step 5:

Once You are in your group You can view your members, edit their information, add people delete people, submit your group report, write notes etc.

And thats it.  That is how you get to your group.  Let me know if you need any further help.

We have rolled out the CFC App, named "Christian FC", for Apple and Android devices!  It is an incredibly useful tool for us to connect with each other.  In fact, the App along with the online  Church Directory (Elvanto) and our Website (www.cfcharlingen.com) work hand in hand to keep us up to date with the on goings of other CFC members,  CFC ministries and the CFC groups we are involved in.

Isn't that one of the major points of belonging to a church?...to be connected, to live out our faith among each other in word and in deed!  Christian FC is a great connection tool.  

On Christian FC you can listen to past sermons or watch live.  The app is connected to PushPay, allowing you to give your donations electronically and even automatically. You can access the member directory, your giving records, the church event calendar and CFC's social media feeds.  You can also submit prayer requests and watch CFC videos.  Now this is starting to sound like one of those "As Seen on TV" commercials because that's not all...: )   On the CFC APP you can also register for upcoming events.

Point made. Download and use Christian FC.  But don't worry, if you don't like Apps, you can still access all that info via our website or go "old school" and call the church office to talk to a real person :)

Welcome to CFC's new connection tool.  This will be where you can get connected with other church members and leaders.  You will be able to report on your small groups, assign yourself to teams, show when you are available to volunteer, apply for volunteer positions and much more.  

This will be the CFC Member Directory.  You can also see your giving records, sign up for upcoming events and even create events for any of the groups you lead.
