Quick Start Guide - Take a Tour

Welcome to the St. John's Ealing website! This website is a dynamic and interactive way to participate in the life of the church on-line. Whilst there is plenty of information for visitors to find out about us, this website is primarily for you - and there's a whole variety of different ways you can participate and make the most of the facilities available.

This Quick Start Guide provides a brief introduction to some of the main features.

Login

Much of the information on this website is private. This means a visitor to the website may access some information (such as where we are and when the church meets) but will not be able to access secure areas such as the address book. To login click the 'login' link at the top righh-hand side of the screen. A window will appear where you can enter a login name and password; enter the details as supplied, taking care to use capital letters where appropriate (if you've forgotten your username and password you can click on the 'forgotten my password' link). If you've never received a username and password you can click on the 'Register' link to apply for an account you can login with.

Once the login process is complete 'login' at the top of the screen will change to 'logout'.
