We have launched Life­Line — the New Life Mem­bers’ Site: members.newlifecs.net

If you have used any social net­work before, you should be fairly famil­iar with many of the fea­tures.  The site is under active devel­op­ment so there will likely be bugs.  We will try to address com­mon ques­tions using these FAQs.

Life­Line guidelines

Life­line is a tool to help facil­i­tate com­mu­ni­ca­tion, pro­mote deeper rela­tion­ships and increase aware­ness of min­istry oppor­tu­ni­ties.  Remem­ber that the site is just a tool.  It is meant to sup­ple­ment to other forms of com­mu­ni­ca­tion and fel­low­ship, it’s not a replace­ment for them.

Prayer­fully con­sider every­thing you post on the site.

Gen­eral Questions

Q. What is Life­Line and why do we need it?

A. Life­Line is a pri­vate online com­mu­nity for mem­bers of New Life Bap­tist Church.  It is a web­site that can help facil­i­tate com­mu­ni­ca­tion with the church as a whole and within each Life Group and Min­istry team.  Mem­bers will be able to share prayer requests and announce­ments and keep up with church events.

Q. Who can join LifeLine?

A. The New Life mem­bers site is a closed com­mu­nity; only cur­rent mem­bers of New Life will have access.

Q. Who can see my group activ­i­ties, prayer requests and discussions?

A. Each Life Group is pri­vate, the infor­ma­tion posted can only be seen by the mem­bers of your group.  If you wish to post a prayer request to the entire church, you can add your prayer request to the Site Group.

Q. Can a hus­band and wife share an account?

A. Yep.  We will cre­ate an account for each church mem­ber, if you wish to com­bine your account with your spouse, please use the con­tact form below to request the change.

Q. How do I report a prob­lem, or make a suggestion?

A. If you find any bugs, or have any sug­ges­tions, please con­tact us using the form below or email jeremy@newlifecs.net

Q. Why does the site say ‘Beta’ in the header?  Is it unfinished?

A. Beta means the web­site is unfin­ished.  The Member’s Site is under active devel­op­ment, there are occa­sional bugs and we will see addi­tional fea­tures added in the com­ing year.

Q. Why are we using a web­site that is still being developed?

A. Even in an incom­plete state, we believe the member’s site will make it eas­ier for our Life Groups and Min­istry teams to com­mu­ni­cate.  Addi­tion­ally, we received a great dis­count for sign­ing up as a test church.

Q. How do I change my pass­word, user name or per­sonal information?

A. Log in, you will find a link for ‘Your Pro­file’ on the right side of the page next to your photo.  This link will take you to a page where you can change your pass­word, user name or per­sonal info.  View our screen cast of this task for more information.

Q. How can I opt out of emails and noti­fi­ca­tions from the mem­bers’ site?

A. Log in, you will find a link for ‘Set­tings’ on the right side of the page next to your photo.  This link will take you to a page where you can con­trol your noti­fi­ca­tion preferences.

Q. How do I join a Min­istry Team or Life Group in the site?

A. Life Group and Min­istry Team lead­ers have author­ity to add you to their group.  Email, send them a mes­sage through the site, or ask them in per­son the next time your group meets.

Q. What is the site group?

A. The site group con­tains every mem­ber of our church. Any prayer request, event or dis­cus­sions you want to post to the whole church can be added to this group.

Q. The map is incor­rect for my address, how can I fix it?

A. The map­ping fea­tures are incom­plete — at this time, there is no way to move a loca­tion on the map if it is incorrect.

FAQs for Life Group & Min­istry Team Leaders

Q. Can I add peo­ple to LifeLine?

A. No.  New mem­bers will be added after each mem­ber­ship class.  You do have access to add exist­ing mem­bers to your Life Group or min­istry team.

Q. Who will grant access for the var­i­ous groups?

A. Site admin­is­tra­tors, life group lead­ers and min­istry team lead­ers will each be able to man­age group mem­ber­ship.  Ide­ally, life group lead­ers & min­istry team lead­ers will han­dle access to their respec­tive groups.
