Church profile and branding

What this covers: The details that shape how everything EBENEZER writes sounds, and how your clips look.

About 10 minutes, once

Go to Settings → Church Profile. Nothing here is weekly work — you set it once and revisit it when something changes, like a new logo or a new teaching pastor.

Pastor information

Pastor Name and Pastor Title appear in blog posts, Bible studies and devotionals. Put the name on its own and the title in its own box — Pastor, Dr., Rev., Elder, whatever your church actually says.

Additional Speakers is for anyone else who regularly preaches. Separate names with commas.

Location and timezone

City and State/Province help your content be found by people nearby searching for a church.

Get the timezone right

This decides what time your devotional texts arrive. Set it wrong and your Monday morning encouragement lands at four in the afternoon — or at four in the morning. Nothing else in EBENEZER makes a mistake this visible to your congregation.

Theological tradition and Bible version

Theological Tradition shapes the vocabulary and framing of everything written for you. A Reformed church and a Pentecostal church describing the same sermon should not sound the same, and this is what makes the difference.

Preferred Bible Version is used for every scripture quotation in blog posts, Bible studies and devotionals. Set it to whatever your congregation reads from on a Sunday.

If the writing doesn’t sound like your church

These two fields are the first place to look. Most complaints about tone trace back to one of them being left at a default.

Website and YouTube channel

Both optional. When set, they become the “watch the full sermon” link attached to your published clips — the route from someone discovering a thirty-second clip to actually hearing the whole thing.

Leave them blank and the link is simply left off. Nothing breaks, but you lose the path from a stranger’s feed to your church.

Logo and brand colours

Your Church Logo is placed in the corner of every clip. Use a JPG, PNG or GIF, ideally with a transparent or simple background so it sits cleanly over video.

Primary Color and Secondary Color are used for the title card at the start of each short clip.

Dark brand colours need the right title style

Dark text over a filmed stage is hard to read. If your church’s colour is a deep navy or similar, choose one of the boxed title styles on the framing page so the colour sits behind the words rather than in them.

Press Save Changes when you’re done. Changes apply to content made from now on — clips you already published keep the branding they were made with.
