Administration
Church Settings
Quick Summary: The Settings page contains five tabs — General, Billing, Notifications, Security, and New Member Contact — where you configure your church's core operational preferences.
Accessing Settings
- Click Settings in the sidebar.
- Select General Settings.
This opens the Settings page with five tabs across the top: General, Billing, Notifications, Security, and New Member Contact.
Settings Sidebar Items
Under the Settings section in the sidebar, you will find the following navigation items:
General Settings
Opens the main Settings page with the five tabs described below.
Users & Roles
Manage staff accounts, roles, and permissions.
Public Website
Configure your public-facing church website.
Campus Management
Enterprise plan only. Manage multi-campus configurations.
Data Migration
Import data from other church management platforms.
General Tab
The General tab contains your church's address, service schedules, check-in preferences, and welcome message.
Primary Campus Address
Enter your church's main physical address. This address is used in communications, receipts, and the public website.
Check-In Auto Print
A toggle that controls whether name badges print automatically when someone checks in. Turn this on if you use a label printer at your welcome desk or children's ministry check-in station.
Sunday Services
Set the start time and end time for your Sunday services. These times are used for check-in windows, attendance tracking, and volunteer scheduling defaults.
Midweek Services
Set the start time and end time for your midweek services. Works the same way as the Sunday service times configuration.
Welcome Message
A text area where you write a custom welcome message. This message can appear on member-facing areas of the platform.
Billing Tab
The Billing tab is where you manage your Relius subscription and payment methods. From here you can view your current plan, update your payment card, switch between monthly and annual billing, and access invoice history.
For a detailed breakdown of plans, pricing, and invoices, see the dedicated Billing & Subscription documentation.
Notifications Tab
The Notifications tab lets you configure which notifications your church administrators and staff receive. Use this to control email alerts, in-app notifications, and other notification preferences so your team only sees what is relevant to them.
Security Tab
The Security tab provides an overview of your account's security posture and a full audit trail of actions taken in the system.

Audit Trail
Below the overview cards is a full Audit Trail table that logs every significant action performed in your Relius account. Each row records the action, the user who performed it, and the timestamp.
Filters
- Action Type — Filter by the kind of action (e.g., login, data export, record edit).
- Date Range — Narrow the audit log to a specific time period.
Export
Click the Export button to download the filtered audit trail for your records or compliance requirements. The "Last Audit Export" card above updates to reflect the date of your most recent export.
New Member Contact Tab
The New Member Contact tab is where you configure how your church reaches out to new members. Use these settings to define your outreach preferences so that when someone is added to the system, the appropriate follow-up actions are triggered automatically.
Best Practices
- Keep your address current. Update the Primary Campus Address immediately if your church relocates. It affects receipts and public-facing info.
- Set accurate service times. Sunday and Midweek service times drive check-in windows and volunteer scheduling. Double-check these after seasonal schedule changes.
- Enable 2FA. Go to the Security tab and confirm that two-factor authentication is enabled for all admin accounts.
- Review the audit trail regularly. Check the Security tab periodically to spot unusual activity. Export the audit log at least quarterly for your records.
- Configure notifications early. Set up the Notifications tab during onboarding so your team is not overwhelmed by irrelevant alerts.
Common Questions
Where do I change my church name or logo?
Church name and branding are managed through the Public Website settings, not the General Settings tab. Click Settings in the sidebar, then select Public Website.
How do I add another campus?
Campus Management is available under Settings in the sidebar for churches on the Enterprise plan. Select Campus Management to add and configure additional locations.
Can I export the audit trail?
Yes. Go to the Security tab, apply any desired filters (Action Type, Date Range), then click the Export button. The audit trail downloads for your records.
What does Check-In Auto Print do?
When enabled, a name badge label prints automatically each time someone checks in. This requires a compatible label printer connected to your check-in station. When disabled, check-in still records attendance but no label is printed.
Who can access the Settings page?
Only users with an Admin role can access Settings. Staff and other roles do not see the Settings item in the sidebar.
