SteepleMate makes it easy for your church family to get connected, whether you’re importing your directory or enabling self-registration. This guide walks you through configuring the registration key and preparing your system for a smooth launch.
Step 1: Verify Your Settings
Before launching, ensure your self-registration and church key configurations are properly set up.
- Navigate to the Administration menu and select Organization Settings.
- Open the Identification section.
- Review and configure your Signup Key.
What is the Signup Key?
The Signup Key acts as a secure "key" for your church members to access the system. Only those with the key can register, ensuring a safe and controlled onboarding process.
How to Add a Signup Key:
- Enter a unique key in the provided field (e.g., your church name or an easy-to-remember code).
- Share the key with your congregation through emails, texts, or announcements.
Enable Self-Registration
For members who may not have updated contact information in your system:
- Check the option for Allow Church Family to Self-Register.
- This lets members sign up themselves while still requiring the church’s unique Signup Key for access.
Step 2: Ready, Set, Launch!
Once your settings are configured, you’re ready to introduce SteepleMate to your church family.
1. Mass Email or Text

2. Social Media
