Church Center is our online and smartphone portal for Hutto Bible's church family. With Church Center, we have a place to connect to one another through our online directory, check in to church and Sunday School, give online, and organize our volunteer service at church. Church Center can be accessed through either our web portal or through the mobile app.

Here are instructions on setting up and using the Church Center app on your phone:

Step 1: Download and Install Church Center App

1. Click here: https://huttobible.churchcenter.com/setup
2. Tap on App Store or Google Play to get redirected to download the app. You can also scan the QR Code:

Step 2: Using the Church Center App

We have set up multiple features for HBC within Church Center, and more are to come. Most features are found using the bottom navigation menu bar that looks something like this (as we add more features or if you are part of a worship team, you may see more buttons on the bar):
