You may have already heard that Whyte Ridge Baptist has an Online Church Directory where anyone who chooses to participate can have the ability to quickly and conveniently locate contact information for others in our church family. At Whyte Ridge Baptist, we still continue to seasonally provide a printed directory and the online directory will provide all the same kinds of information as the printed directory does (with the addition of pictures if you like), but with the added benefits of being accessible on your computer, as well as instantly updatable whenever your contact information changes. Also, the Online Church Directory will only provide information about, and access to, those who have chosen to take part.
As our use of this program progresses, those who are a part of the Online Church Directory will also be able to use it to access information about church groups in which they participate. Eventually, you may also be able to use this program for online giving.
In implementing the Online Church Directory, it is very important to us that peoples’ privacy is well protected. The directory has built-in automatic restrictions to children’s information and photos. The directory is a secure place to share information and connect with others in our church community. You control who and how much of your information others see.
Creating an account for yourself or for your family on Whyte Ridge Baptist’s online church directory takes only a few minutes. Please follow the steps below to register. If you have any questions or need assistance registering, please feel free to contact us.
