# Church Settings & Locations

## Church Settings

The global configuration for your church: name, default timezone, default currency,
minor age cutoff, and your church logo.

- **Minor age cutoff** — the age below which a member is treated as a minor throughout the
  app (Guardians on their Members record, Kids Check-in eligibility). Leave it blank to use
  the default of 18.
- **Default currency** — used across [Giving & Finance](#/finance) when a transaction
  doesn't specify its own. Search-as-you-type over the full list of world currencies; leave
  it blank if you don't need currency formatting yet.
- **Logo** — upload an image here to have it available as a one-click insert in the
  [Announcements](#/bulk-email) composer, and to personalize your church's identity in the app.

- **Public prayer request form** — turns on a public page where anyone can send your church
  a prayer request. See [Prayer Requests](#/prayer-requests).
- **Public giving page** — turns on a public page with your church's ways to give (bank
  details, PIX, alias, payment links). See [Online Giving Page](#/online-giving).
- **Count who opens Announcements emails** — adds a tiny invisible image to each
  [announcement](#/bulk-email) email so Recent sends can show how many were opened. Off by
  default; the number is approximate.
- **Theme colour** — also shown as a thin bar on top of your announcement emails.
- **Phone country code** — your country's dialling code, numbers only (54 Argentina, 55
  Brazil, 52 Mexico, 44 UK…). HolyCRM adds it to phone numbers saved without one when it
  opens a WhatsApp chat, for example when [asking volunteers to confirm](#/rotas).

Only Administrators and Coordinators can change these settings.

## Share the app

The **Share the app** card at the top of Church Settings has a link and a QR code that anyone in
your church can use to install HolyCRM on their phone. Show the QR code on screen during a
service, print it in your bulletin, or send the link in your church's group chat. People scan it,
follow the steps for their phone, and then log in as usual. Use **Download QR** for a
print-quality image.

## Locations

If your church meets in more than one place — multiple campuses, an outdoor venue, a rented
hall for a special event — set each one up as a Location with its own **timezone**. This
matters most if your locations are in different timezones: every event, ministry activity
and rota anchors its actual time to its location's timezone, so schedules stay correct no
matter what timezone you personally view the calendar in (see [Calendar](#/calendar)).

A location can also have its own **default currency**, overriding the church-wide default
for transactions entered there — useful if, say, one campus collects offerings in a
different currency than your main church account uses.

Fill in a location's **Address**, **Phone** and **Email** and it appears automatically on
your [Church Website](#/church-website)'s Visit Us section — with its own card once your
church has more than one location with an address set.

**Locations don't limit who sees what.** Permissions are set per church and role (see
[Users, Roles & Permissions](#/users-roles)), so Administrators and Coordinators see every
location. To keep a campus leader to their own people, give them a Volunteer or Member login
linked to their member record and make them the leader of that campus's small groups or
ministries: they see only the teams they lead, in [My Teams](#/my-teams).
