What is it?
www.pinkpres.me is the online Member section of First Presbyterian Church. The "online directory". Once you login you will see your member record, the groups and activities you are involved in, groups or activities you can join, your giving record for this current calendar year as well as last calendar year and much more.
This is a great way to manage your information as well as contact other church members - so, create a username and password and login!
How do I create a login?
Glad you asked. The first time is a little tricky. Here is the "Reader's Digest" version":
- Click this link.
- Type in your first name, your last name and your email address EXACTLY as we have it in the database. That is the tricky part. If you have trouble, just email or call the church office and we will send it to you.
- Once you type in your name and email address, the system will automatically email your username and a one-time password to you. Type your username and highlight the password from the email and paste it into the login screen.
- The system will then ask you to change the password to something you can remember. There is a minimum number of characters and they must include both letters and numbers. Once you do that, feel free to browse around!
