Forms and Submissions
Your church uses forms in the portal to gather information from members, such as volunteer applications, retreat sign-ups, prayer team applications, surveys, and photo permission slips. The Forms page is where you find new forms to fill out and look back at what you have already submitted.
Filling Out a Form
Finding Available Forms
- Log in to the Member Portal.
- Click Forms in the sidebar.
Under Available forms you will see the forms your church has currently published, each with its name, a short description, and a Fill Out button.
Submitting a Form
- Click Fill Out on the form you want.
- Read the instructions at the top of the form carefully.
- Fill in each field. Required fields are marked with an asterisk (*).
- If the form asks for an attachment (a signed waiver, a photo, etc.), click Choose File to upload from your device.
- Review your answers.
- Click Submit.
You will see a confirmation that your submission was received. Many forms also send a copy to your email.
Forms Linked to Events
Some events use a form for registration, for example a retreat with a liability waiver. On such an event, Register Now opens the form. See Event Registration.
Reviewing Your Past Submissions
To see what you have already filled out:
- On the Forms page, find My submissions ("Forms you have already filled out.") and click View My Previous Submissions.
- Form Submissions lists every form you have submitted, with the date and its status: Pending Review, Approved, or Rejected.
Viewing a Specific Submission
- Click any entry in the list to open its Submission Details.
- You will see when it was Submitted on, every answer under Submitted Information, and any files you attached (View Attachment).
- If a church administrator has reviewed your submission, their Review Notes appear too.
Editing or Resubmitting
Submissions are final once you click Submit. The detail page notes that you can no longer edit this response. If you sent the wrong information, contact your church office and ask them to update or delete your submission so you can fill the form out again.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: I cannot find a form someone told me about. Where is it? A: The form may not be active yet, may have closed, or may only be visible to a specific group of members. Ask the staff person who mentioned it for the direct link, or contact your church office.
Q: Can I save a form and come back to finish later? A: Saving in-progress drafts is not currently supported on most forms. If you need to gather information first, prepare your answers in a notes app and paste them in when you are ready.
Q: Will I get a copy of my submission? A: Most forms send an email confirmation with your answers. You can also revisit your full submission at any time with View My Previous Submissions on the Forms page.
Q: Are my form answers private? A: Submissions are visible to authorized church staff and the people they delegate (for example, a volunteer coordinator reviewing applications). They are not visible to other members.
