Why Should I Register?
Registration for the C3 Global Website allows users to do the following:
- Access Important Information: Registered Members have access to parts of the site not available to public viewers.
- Inter-Movement Connection: As the movement gets bigger, inter-movement connection becomes key. It is all a part of the C3 Church mission--stop leaders from falling into loneliness by making sure they are in constant connection with other pastors and leaders. The covering of connection is the first and primary reason for the new global site. It opens the doors for all Senior Pastors and their teams to see, meet, and feel a part of the global scale of the movement.
- Global Resources: The global site will become a hub of resources for all churches. Registered members can download and upload resources. There is already hundreds of documents, videos, and music available to members meant to help grow departments, leaders, and teams! The more leaders get involved, the more we can help bring churches into the movement, and the stronger the movement will become.
- Report Stats: In the next few months, the churches will be asked to begin reporting stats to the site. Senior Pastors will have access to this information to help keep track of their progress; the Executive Board will also be reviewing this information to help see how healthy and thriving the movement is and continues to be.
- Corporate Organization: The larger the movement, the more important the corporate organization. It is essential to have a central hub so that everyone can be on the same page.
Why Do I Need A Profile?
One of the goals of the Global Site is to encourage connection amongst leaders on a global scale. The Profile allows you to:
- Introduce yourself to the other leaders.
- The “members” page located at the bottom of the Home Page searches through the profiles in order to help you find other leaders in your field.
- Open doors for connection by adding your facebook page, twitter feed, etc…so that other leaders can connect with you outside the site as well as within.
- Really, why not?
Required Information for the Profiles Include:
- An up-to-date headshot/photo of you.
- User Name/email address
- First and Last Name
- Phone Number
- Home Church
- Home Church Country
- Home Church Sub-Region
- Church Website (auto-added after choosing home church)
Why Should I Login with Twitter or Facebook?
Logging in with your Facebook or Twitter accounts allows you:
- Quicker Log In.

- Posted comments helps spread the word about the Global Site.
We encourage people to login with their Twitter since most Twitter and Facebook accounts are synced.
Why Do I Need Approval?
Approval is both a formality and a precaution. Though we have full faith in our leaders, the website is a public website. Anyone who accesses it has the potential to register. Those registered are privy to information on the website that is not open to the public. In order to maintain security, an Admin must approval all applications.
What If I Perform more than One Role in my Church?
We understand that leaders wear multiple hats in the day-to-day life of church life. All applicants have the ability to choose all roles that apply.
What If I Do Not Fit One of the Offered Categories?
The registration categories (Pastor, Youth Pastor, Music Director, etc…) are a basic set of roles assumed to be utilized in each church due to basic church necessities. We understand that no two churches are alike. If you have been invited and/or asked by a leader to register, but you find you do not match the offered roles, please choose the one that is closest to your duties and skills.
Please Note: If you are not an Executive Pastor or Senior Pastor, please do not choose those options. Thank you.
