Up until this point, only staff and leadership have had Breeze accounts. Different people have different account permissions to control who has access to what information. We are now making a change to give all members and regular attenders Breeze accounts. If the church office has your contact information on file, you will be receiving an email invitation today to create your own Breeze account. The email will come from Rachel Wilhelm with the subject “Create your First Missionary Church Breeze account”. When you open the email, you will see a blue button that says “Create Your Login”. You will be taken to a new page to create a username and password.

When you create this account, you will gain access to your profile, your giving, and our online directory. Under your profile you can edit your own contact information and much more to ensure it’s up-to-date. You will also have access to your own financial giving statements and year-end reports which you can export and print yourself. Finally, you’ll be able to access the online directory with simple contact information for other members.

We know that security is a growing concern. Breeze itself is secure and account requests must be approved by church leadership. We also know that privacy may be important to you. You can set the privacy for each individual line of your contact information to control what others can see in the online directory. As you edit your information, please make sure to select either “Yes” or “No” for the Opt into Online Directory. If you select yes, all contact information you have that is not set to private will be visible in the online directory. If you select no, none of your contact information will be visible to others except for those in church leadership.

Once logged in, you’ll have access to these areas:

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get Breeze access?

Yes! Access to Breeze is only open to FirstMC members and regular attenders, and each access request must be approved by church leadership. You choose what information in your profile (email, phone number, address, etc.) you want to be visible to other church members. Your giving history and pledge information is visible and accessible only to you and to the church bookkeeper. Our church information is guaranteed to be kept private and protected.
