Login and Account Management

ChurchBuddy uses a simple email-based login system with one-time passwords (OTP) for secure access.

​
Logging In

​
Step 1: Request One-Time Password

  1. Go to the ChurchBuddy website at church.worshipbuddy.org
  2. Enter your email address
  3. Click “Request One-Time Password”
  4. Check your email for a 6-digit OTP code
Tip: Make sure to check your spam folder if you don’t see the email within a few minutes.

​
Step 2: Enter OTP

  1. Enter the 6-digit OTP code from your email
  2. Click “Verify One-Time Password”
  3. You’ll be logged in and redirected to your organizations page

​
Changing Your Email

If you entered the wrong email address:
  1. Click “Edit Email” or similar button
  2. Enter the correct email address
  3. Request a new OTP

​
Creating a New Account

If you don’t have a ChurchBuddy account yet:
  1. Enter your email and request an OTP (as above)
  2. After verifying the OTP, you’ll be prompted to create an account
  3. Fill in the required information:
    • First Name (required)
    • Last Name (required)
    • Church (required) — labeled “Church” in the login form
  4. Click Complete Account
Note: You’ll only need to create your account once. After that, you can log in with just your email and OTP.

​
Mobile App Login

The mobile app uses slightly different button labels: Web uses Request One-Time Password, Verify One-Time Password, and Complete Account for the same steps.

​
Joining an Organization

After logging in, you’ll see your organizations page. To join a new organization:
  1. Click Join Organization on the web organizations page, or tap Join Org on the mobile Dashboard
  2. Enter the Organization ID provided by your organization’s admin
  3. Click “Join”
  4. You’ll be added to the organization and can start viewing schedules
Tip: Ask your organization’s administrator for the Organization ID if you don’t have it.

​
Signing Out

Web:
  • Organizations list: Click the user icon → Sign Out in the dropdown
  • Inside an org: Click the user icon → Profile sidebar → Sign Out
Mobile:
  1. Back out to the account Dashboard (org picker)
  2. Tap the gear icon → Settings
  3. Tap Sign Out and confirm
Sign Out is not available from inside an org — the header gear opens My Profile, not account Settings. You’ll need to log in again with your email and OTP to access ChurchBuddy.

​
Account Information

Your account stores:
  • Email address (used for login)
  • First name and last name
  • Church/Organization name
  • Organizations you belong to
  • Your schedule and availability preferences
You can view your name and email from the user icon (web) or Dashboard → Settings (mobile).

​
Troubleshooting

Didn’t receive OTP email:
  • Check your spam/junk folder
  • Verify you entered the correct email address
  • Wait a few minutes and try again
  • Contact support if the problem persists
OTP expired or invalid:
  • Request a new OTP
  • Make sure you enter all 6 digits correctly
  • OTPs expire after a set time, so request a fresh one if needed
