If you're reading this, it probably means you're one of the first 250,000 members at MyChurch.org.  Which probably means you've already setup a "Vanity URL" (ex mychurch.org/yourname)

If you haven't set up a personalized URL, you'll still have a chance to do so.  Until next week, that is.  We're deprecating this feature for new/future members.  Church pages will always be able to personalize their MyChurch URL.  But we don't think it makes sense to continue this customization for individual users.

If you've already set one up, you'll still get to keep it and use it.  But future members of MyChurch won't have this privilege. (there are perks for being an early adopter!)

A lot of new MyChurch users are coming from Facebook.  We expect that to grow as we integrate more into Facebook and roll out a way for Facebook users to log into MyChurch *  As we've gotten feedback from these Facebook users through interviews and surveys, we learned that individual customization isn't as important as being able to personalize and promote their church pages.   

* we'll make an official announcement in a couple weeks, but you can actually start using MyChurch.org with your Facebook.com account.  The technology is called Facebook Connect, and you can send any feedback on it to joe@mychurch.org :)
