Editing my Messy Church on the directory

How do I edit my Messy Church?

If you added your Messy Church to the directory then you will be able to edit it from your account. First log in (there’s a tab for requesting a new password if you have forgotten it), then you should see your Messy Church(es) displayed in a list.

To change the information the public sees about your Messy Church, click the edit link to the right of your Messy Church’s name. After clicking this you will see (and change) all the different pieces of information relating to your Messy Church. Please do remember to hit the save button at the very bottom of the page.

I can’t see my church on my account page

If you cannot see a link to your church on your account page (like the image above) then please contact us. Please do not add the church to the directory again.

How do I change my Messy Church location?

Once you’ve logged in, click the Edit button. On your listing you will find there is a map. Simply drag and drop the pin using your mouse until the pin is in the right location. You can zoom in and out and switch to satellite view to make the location is correct. You can also press the ZOOM to my address button to centre the pin on your address.
