Ministry Settings is where you configure your organization's name, contact info, services, and third-party connections. Think of it as the control panel for your Teach Us the Bible account.
Update your ministry's name, contact email, and website. Your organization name appears on your team's dashboard and in the parent portal — parents see "Join [Church Name] on Teach Us the Bible" when they register.

You can set a ministry-wide memory verse that displays prominently on your team's dashboard. This is separate from the lesson memory verse — it's a verse you want your whole ministry to focus on for a season.
Leave it blank if you don't want to display one.
If your ministry runs more than one service — for example, a 9am and 11am service — you can set them up here. Each service gets its own name and its own lesson schedule. Teachers can be assigned to a default service so they see the right schedule when they log in.
The "Alternate lessons with another service?" setting is used when you want two services to trade off lessons each week, so every child hears every lesson regardless of which service they attend. See the Lesson Schedule article for a full walkthrough.
