PLEASE NOTE: While it is *possible* to run PowerChurch Online on your iPhone or Android Smartphone, it is not recommended you do so. The screen size is too small to be of any real use - PowerChurch is designed to be a desktop application. Any resolution less than 1024x768 is not recommended at all - you will have difficulty viewing the application as intended. Please use the PowerChurch Mobile app listed above to access information from your phone. Android *tablets* and iPads are appropriate platforms for viewing information such as reports, but are not well suited for data entry beyond minor updates.

Once you've installed the client, follow the instructions below to connect to our servers. Please bear in mind that the interface in these unofficial clients may be slightly different than what the instructions indicate.
