St. Michaels Ministry Maintenance Help

In order to log in to the Maintenance site, you have to be a contact in the database, with a valid username and password. A number of Saint Michaels Ministry contacts have already been loaded with a default username/password consisting of the first initial of their first name followed by their last name. After initial login, you will be required to change your password...Give it a try! If it's not there, you can register, and your ministry leader will be notified of your registration. After approval, your username will be activated, and the ministry leader will contact you. Any questions with the ministry site can be directed to the webmaster.

You can change your password after logging in. This is not encrypted. 

The site has been tested with Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0, and Netscape 7.0. Please be sure you are using a browser that is compliant with these.

There are 3 levels of security on the site:

2. Ministry Leader - This is a contact that has access to view/edit Ministries and Contacts that they are already associated with.
3. Web Admin - This is a contact with full access
