Your First Week Checklist

Day 1: Branding & Identity

1. Upload your church logo under Settings > General. Recommended size is 512x512 PNG with a transparent background.
2. Set your primary color theme so that all member-facing pages match your branding.
3. Configure your timezone and default service times.

Day 2-3: Build Your Team

1. Invite your core staff under Admin → Team. When you invite someone, pick the role that fits what they do (for example Admin, Finance Manager, Care Leader, or Staff) — each role only unlocks the areas that person needs.
2. Have each team member log in and complete their profile so the directory looks populated from day one.

Day 4-5: Create Your First Event

1. Go to Events > New Event and create your upcoming Sunday service.
2. Enable check-in if you plan to track attendance.
3. Add any recurring schedule (weekly, bi-weekly) so future services auto-generate.

Day 6-7: Send Your First Communication

1. Navigate to Communications > New Broadcast.
2. Draft a welcome message announcing SteepleOS to your congregation.
3. Preview the email, then schedule it or send immediately.
4. Verify delivery by checking the send report under Communications > History.
