Important Updates - Registration Types and Roles

Today we made some important updates to our Registration Types on the site.  We think these changes will help avoid confusion for new users.

First, what we used to call "Church Staff" are now "Church Profile Managers".  Typically these are pastors and church staff, but sometimes they are deacons, webmasters or others who are authorized to update their church information.  So we thought the name "Church Profile Manager" would help avoid confusion.

Second, what we used to call "Church Members" are now "Church Review Writers".  The main purpose of this registration option has always been to write Church Reviews (but not manage a Church Profile) - typically members of a local church who want to share their church.  We are just changing the name to more accurately reflect what this user does, and to distiguish it from Church Profile Managers.

Note: Church Profile Managers can also write Church Reviews.  The difference is that "Church Review Writer" is joining to only write Church Reviews and share their church (e.g., not to be the Church Profile Manager).

People looking for a church are still called "Church Seekers".

You can see a full description of these 3 Registration Types in our Frequently Asked Questions.
