Login Help
Why is there a login link for the website?
When you are logged in to the FPC of Stow & Acton website, there is an additional Members & Friends Area button on the main menu on the left, under the Home link. Clicking this button brings you to the Member & Friends Area.
In the Members & Friends Area you will find:
- The current version of the Church Directory (in PDF format).
- A searchable FPC contact list.
- Previous editions of the Chronicle Newsletter.
- Various documents about church business, such as those about capital campaigns.
- An online form for changing your FPC contact information.
- A “Get Your Message Out!” online form where you can submit news articles for transmission through any or all of the FPC communications channels (website, Chronicle, Facebook, FPCAnnounce, Order of Service, etc.)
Who can login?
User accounts have already been set up for each adult in the FPC directory. If you are a new member or friend of the church and would like to have an account, please visit the Register page. After you enter your information, a member of the Membership Committee will need to verify your association with the church before your account is made active.
Note that requiring a login to see information of interest only to members and friends also hides this information from search engines like Google.
