How to set up a single sign-on MinistryID account for access to all Ministry Brands applications offered through ParishSOFT

We are currently rolling out the option to use a single sign-on MinistryID account for access to all Ministry Brands applications. As this option becomes available for each application, the information in this article will be updated.

• Once you have created the MinistryID account, you may use it for any of the applications that show the 'Login With MinistryID' button. see image below
• The first time you use this MinistryID account with any application, you will be prompted to link the new MinistryID with your existing credentials for that application. After that, you may simply click the MinistyrID button to log into that application.
• Once all of your applications are linked to your MinistryID account, you may go from one application to the next without entering any credentials as long as you remain logged into your MinistryID account.
