Teams app

Sign in and switch church

Signing in to Culminate Teams with a Culminate Life account, and switching between churches.

Sign in

Volunteers sign in with their Culminate Life account, the same email and password they use in your church’s app.

  1. Open Culminate Teams.
  2. Enter the Email and Password for their Culminate Life account.
  3. Select Sign In.

The app then asks to send notifications. Saying yes is how they get requests, reminders, and messages on their phone. See Notifications.

There’s no Forgot Password? in Culminate Teams. If someone can’t remember their password, they reset it from the sign-in screen in your church’s app (see Forgot password), then sign in to Teams with the new one.

Don’t have an account yet?

Culminate Teams doesn’t create accounts. New volunteers create a Culminate Life account in your church’s app first (see Create an account). If they signed up to serve as a guest, using a sign-up page without an account, they should create their account with the same email.

“You’re not on a team yet”

After signing in, someone who isn’t on a team at any church sees You’re not on a team yet. Once a leader adds them to a team, or they sign up to serve, their church shows up. They can select Try again to check, or Sign out.

If it still doesn’t show up, check that the person on your team in the dashboard is the same person as the account they signed in with (same email). See Teams.

Switch church

If someone serves at more than one church, Teams shows one church at a time. The church’s name is at the top of Home, and under each tab’s title.

To switch:

  • On Home, tap the church’s name at the top and pick another.
  • On the other tabs, tap the church button at the top left.
  • Or open Profile and tap Church.

A church with something waiting, like an unanswered request, shows how many next to its name. The app remembers the church they picked for next time.

Links in Teams emails and texts name their church. Opening one switches the app to that church first, so a request from one church never opens in another.

A church only appears in the list while the person is on one of its teams or serving one of its plans. If a link is for a church that isn’t available to them, the app says Can’t open this link.

Sign out

Open Profile (tap your photo at the top right), then select Sign Out and confirm. They stop getting Teams notifications on that device until they sign in again.
