Configure your church name, denomination, location, appearance, social media links, and website settings.
The Settings section is where you configure everything about your church's presence on the platform. Settings are organized into tabs: General, Appearance, Website, Location, and Integrations. The General tab also includes social media links. This guide covers the first four tabs. For Integrations, see the dedicated Integrations article.
General
The General tab contains your church's core details. This information is used throughout the platform and on your public landing page.
1
Navigate to General Settings
From your admin dashboard, click Settings in the sidebar. The General tab is selected by default.
2
Update your church details
Here you can edit:
Organization Name — your church's display name (required)
Email — a contact email address for your church
Phone — a contact phone number
Denomination — select from a list of denominations (e.g. Baptist, Methodist, Non-denominational, etc.)
Description — a short description or tagline for your church
3
Save your changes
Click Update Organization to apply your updates.
Tip
To rename your church, simply update the Organization Name field and click Update Organization. The new name will be reflected everywhere on the platform, including your public landing page, emails, and member-facing screens. No other steps are needed.
Social Media Links
Below the main organization form on the General tab, you'll find a Social Media Links card. These links appear on your public landing page so visitors can find and follow your church on social media.
1
Enter your profile URLs
Add the full URL for any of the supported platforms:
Facebook — e.g. https://facebook.com/yourchurch
Instagram — e.g. https://instagram.com/yourchurch
Twitter / X — e.g. https://twitter.com/yourchurch
YouTube — e.g. https://youtube.com/@yourchurch
2
Save your links
Click Save Social Links. Only platforms with a URL filled in will display icons on your landing page. Leave a field blank to hide that platform.
Tip
You don't need accounts on every platform. Just fill in the ones your church actively uses and leave the rest blank.
Appearance
The Appearance tab lets you customize how your church's publiclanding page looks by uploading a logo and setting brand colors.
1
Go to the Appearance tab
From Settings, click on the Appearance tab.
2
Upload your logo
Click Upload Logo to add your church logo. Accepted formats are JPG, PNG, or WebP (max 4MB). Once uploaded you can replace or remove the logo at any time. Your logo appears in the navigation and on your public landing page.
3
Set your brand colors
Use the Brand Colors picker to choose your church's primary, secondary, and accent colors. The platform automatically calculates contrast-safe text colors so your content remains readable against your chosen backgrounds.
4
Save your changes
Click Save Appearance to apply the new logo and colors.
Note
Your brand color is used in specific, intentional places on your public landing page: CTA buttons, your logo display, and navigation accents. The overall page design uses a consistent, professional color scheme that works with any brand color.
Website
The Website tab manages your live stream connection, custom domain, custom email domain, and external giving URL. Some features require a paid subscription plan.
Live Stream
Connect your YouTube channel so live streams appear automatically on your landing page.
1
Enter your Live Stream URL
In the Live Stream card, enter your YouTube channel handle (e.g. @yourchannel), channel name, full channel URL, or a specific video URL. The platform detects when your channel goes live and displays the stream on your landing page.
Note
Live Stream requires a paid subscription plan. If you are on the free plan you will see an upgrade prompt instead of the input field. Facebook Live is not supported.
Custom Domain
By default your public page is available at hubl.life/your-org-id. With a paid plan you can connect your own domain (e.g. yourchurch.com).
1
Enter your domain
In the Custom Domain card, use the domain manager to enter your domain name. The platform will provide DNS records you need to add at your domain registrar.
2
Configure DNS records
Add the required DNS records at your domain registrar. This typically involves creating a CNAME or A record pointing to the platform.
3
Verify and save
Once DNS records propagate, click to verify the domain. After verification the platform will issue an SSL certificate automatically and your landing page will be accessible at your custom domain.
Tip
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate, though most complete within a few minutes. If verification fails, double-check your DNS records and try again later.
Custom Email Domain
By default, emails sent from the platform come from a hubl.life address. With the appropriate subscription tier, you can send emails from your own domain (e.g. hello@yourchurch.com).
1
Register your email domain
Click Set Up Email Domain and enter your domain name (e.g. yourchurch.com).
2
Add DNS records
The platform will display a set of DNS records (TXT, CNAME, and MX) that you need to add at your domain registrar. These records verify ownership and enable email deliverability.
3
Verify the domain
After adding the DNS records, click Verify Domain. Once verified you can customize the from address (e.g. notifications@yourchurch.com).
Note
Custom Email Domain requires a higher subscription tier. If the feature is not available on your current plan you will see an upgrade prompt.
Custom Giving URL
If your church uses an external giving platform such as Tithe.ly or Pushpay, you can redirect the Give button on your landing page to that platform.
1
Enter your giving URL
In the Custom Giving URL card, paste the full URL of your external giving page (e.g. https://give.church/yourchurch).
2
Save
Click Update Giving Settings. When a giving URL is set, the Give button on your public landing page will open that URL instead of the built-in giving page.
Tip
Leave the Custom Giving URL blank if you want to use the platform's built-in giving feature instead.
Location
The Location tab stores your church's physical address. This is used on your public landing page, as a default location for events, and for map displays.
1
Go to the Location tab
From Settings, click on the Location tab.
2
Enter your address
Start typing in the Full Address field to use the autocomplete, or manually fill in the Street, City, State, and ZIP Code fields. The autocomplete will break the address into its component parts automatically.
3
Save your address
Click Update Location. The platform will automatically generate map coordinates from your address if they are not already set.
Tip
If your church meets in a non-traditional location like a school or community center, add a note in your church description on the General tab to help first-time visitors find the right entrance.
