View and Edit Your Profile

Print Friendly and PDF

You can configure your privacy settings from the Profile tab in your personal Account Settings. Any changes you make will be automatically saved.

 

1. Open your Account Settings.

Click your profile icon at the top right of the screen and select Account Settings.

Account Settings

 

By default, your Profile tab is selected, which allows you to view and edit your profile. The tab is divided into multiple sections to give you maximum control over your profile.

 

2. Public Information

This top section is always visible to everyone on Faithlife. Add a profile photo and other profile details to update it.

Public Information

  • Profile Photo: Click the Camera Icon and upload a photo. We recommend a photo 1024px × 1024px.
  • Display name: Your display name is the name that appears publicly on your profile. Some users prefer to use a nickname or an incomplete name (e.g., “Terrance J”) for their public-facing name rather than their full name.
  • Profile URL: Faithlife auto-generates a unique URL for your profile, but you can alter it in the input box.

 

3. Custom Information

This section holds more detailed information about you. You have full control of the details you provide in this section. Choose who can access each piece of information using the dropdown to the right of each field:

  • Me: You are the only one who is able to view this information.
  • Group Admins: Admins and moderators of groups you join can access this information. This allows your church to pull in important information you want to share (e.g., for the church Directory, for example).
  • Public: Anyone who has a Faithlife profile can view this information.

Custom Information

 

Update each field accordingly. Changes you make will save automatically. You can leave fields blank if they do not apply.

  • Display Email: Enter an email address at which people can connect with you.
  • Faith Background: Share your denomination.
  • Location: Share the city in which you live. 
  • Phone Number: Add a phone number at which people can connect with you.
  • Organization: Share what organization you are affiliated with.
  • Role/Title: Share what your role is at your organization.

 

4. Private Information

The information in this section is always private.
