Welcome to our App Help Articles. This is #3 in the series, Accessing the Kirk Directory. If you haven't Signed In yet, go to Help Article #1!
GAIN ACCESS TO THE KIRK DIRECTORY
So, you want to view our new Kirk Directory and don't know how? Well, you are in the right place. For better security measures for our members information, we have limited the directory to be accessible to only members and regular visitors who promise not to share or distributed anyone's information. Once you have a followed all the steps once, you will be able to access the directory directly the next time. (If you would like a paper copy of the directory, please send an email to our church office and we would be glad to print you out our most recent copy.) Our most up to date versions of the directory will be available on the App.
1. The first thing is that you need to be signed in. Look at the top right of your screen. Do you see a photo of you or perhaps your initials? Great, then you are signed in. If instead you see, the blank image as shown below, then you need to sign in. See Help Article #1 if you need assistance signing in.

2. Next, tap on the "Messaging" icon, which look like two callout messages (shown below) and allow the page to load (less than 2 seconds).

3. Once within Messaging, tap on the "Discover" tab at the top. Selecting "Discover" will pull up all the groups, teams, and communities within the church. If you would ike to learn help in learning how to join a particular group to receive updates, view Help Article #2: Signing Up.

4. Scroll until you find the "Kirk Files" group type. Alternatively, you may elect to use the search field and type in "Kirk Files", or you may use the pull-down option to filter for "Church Information". Once you find the "Kirk Files" group, select it. You will be directed to a new group screen that will invite you to join the group. Select "Request to join". For most requests your approval will be immediate, but in other some cases may have to wait one business day to join. Once you have joined the group, you will have access to all the files that we have made public to the church.
ACCESS THE KIRK DIRECTORY
Once you have been approved for access to the group, here's how you may view the Kirk Directory.
1. On the Kirk App Home Screen, Tap the "Messaging" Icon (two callout messages) and then allow the page to load (less than 2 seconds). You will then be directed to the Messaging page with Conversations already pulled up (see below).
