Welcome to the Time and Talent Network.
We are so happy that you decided to join us in our mission
to help churches and congregations further energize
and vitalize their church participants.
We have updated the main page of our website
to help new users better understand
the various advantages of using the Time and Talent Network.
If you happen to be a previous user of the Time and Talent
Network, you can log in to our network as before
by going to the menu bar as above
and clicking on the Log in area in the top upper right hand
corner.
Please note that our program is compatible with all devices,
including computers, laptops, pads, and cell phones.
If you happen to have a pad or a cell phone,
these devices may not have menu bars
and you will have to click on the hamburger
grid on those devices to make your appropriate selections.
Our program was developed to help
pastors reduce their workload.
It also helps the various leaders
of the programs in your church to better communicate
with each other and the participants.
Another advantage of our program is
that you can link and coordinate your missions
with any other church that has registered
to the Time and Talent Network.
The first step in joining the Time and Talent Network
is to get a new log in.
You can either go to the menu bar
above and click on the New Login Setup
in the upper right hand side.
Or after reviewing the main page,
you can go ahead and go down to the bottom of the page
and click on the New Login Setup button.
I'm going to go ahead and click on the New Login Setup button,
and this takes me to the initial Login Setup Credentials page.
The very first thing that you'll need to do
is review the website terms of agreement,
and by clicking on the blue area where my cursor is.
This takes us to the page that better describes
the terms and conditions of using the Time and Talent
Network.
It also includes more detailed information
on the codes of conduct.
You can go to the little blue area where my cursor is
and review that in full detail.
The Time and Talent Network is very committed to protecting
your privacy.
And you can review our extensive privacy policy
by clicking on the privacy policy area
where my cursor is on the bottom left hand side.
After you have had a chance to review these areas,
go ahead and go to the bottom and click
on the blue "Agree and Continue" Registration button.
This takes us back to the log setup credentials page.
And as you can see, the agreement box
has been pre-checked for you.
Please go ahead and put in the appropriate information,
including your first and last name, and your unique Login
Name.
Please note that your login name does not have any restrictions,
like the need for using uppercase
or lowercase, letters, or various symbols, et cetera.
Then go ahead and put your email address in.
Please make sure that this is correct
because this will be the main means that the Time and Talent
Network and your church contacts you.
Now, you have to select a password.
The password does have some restrictions on how to set up,
and you can see the information in blue
as far as what these criteria are at this time.
Go ahead and click Reveal to make
sure that you have typed in your new password correctly.
If all the information is correct,
go ahead and go to the bottom and click on the Registration
button.
This takes you to the BonBon Confirmation page.
A BonBon is simply a number that is a dual verification system.
This is used by various institutions
and other websites.
So make sure to record your BonBon which
is seen either above the picture or in the yellow box.
Please note that various email providers
do have some lag time.
However, if you feel like you have not
received your email from us in a timely manner,
please check your spam folder.
And if the email is still not there,
please contact us at accounts@timeandtalent.net.
If you have received our email, feel
free to click on the load images section
to confirm that the email is indeed from our website
as you can verify from the picture provided.
Also, verify that the BonBon number is correct.
And if it is, go ahead and click Confirm Email.
This takes us back to the account confirmation success
page.
As you can see, there are various opportunities
to register, including registering yourself,
registering your church, or inviting another church
to participate in the Time and Talent Network.
The videos for registering a church
and inviting the church to our network are in area--
other areas of our website.
Right now, you're going to be registering yourself
as a new participant.
So go ahead and go and click on to "Become a Participant" button
on the far right
This takes us back to the Time and Talent Network.
And you will need to re-enter your login information.
After you've entered in your login information,
it is recommended that you check the Extended Logged-in Session
box, and then click the button to log in.
This takes us to the next page of the registration process.
As you will see, there's an area in blue
that indicates our policy of being allowed to share
information with your church.
Once again, we have taken extensive measures
to protect your privacy, and you can once again
review our privacy policy by clicking on the privacy policy
area where my cursor is.
After you have reviewed this area, go ahead and click "Share
Your Participant Information"
And go to the bottom and click on the "Save
and Go to Step 2" button.
This takes us to the email confirmation page.
As you can see, the email that you previously provided
has been pre-populated for you.
At this time, you will need to select what type of email
this is.
Please note that you can change your email address
or other information in this registration
process at any time in your participant page
after you have linked to one of the churches.
This particular email is a private email,
so I'm going to pick that, and then go to the bottom
and click on "Save and Go to Step 3" area.
Now, if time is an issue for you,
you can go ahead and skip and go to the other steps
by clicking in the "SKIP AND GO TO STEP 4" button.
However, it is encouraged that you
try to complete the registration process at this time.
You want to set of the type of phone that you have.
And I'm going to say that you have a mobile phone.
Since a mobile phone does have the texting option,
you can toggle through this button here
that says that you want to receive text messages
or you don't want to receive text messages.
Enter your telephone number.
If this happens to be a landline or has an extension,
you can feel free to put the extension in there also,
but this is optional.
You do have an option of selecting the times of day
in which days of the week you wish to be contacted
by voice on your telephone.
This does not apply to texting information.
Let's say you only want to receive phone calls
in the afternoon, so go to the little clock
and click in this area.
And you can either put 12 in that area
or you can go ahead and just go up and AM changes to PM.
You can also go back and forth to AM-PM using these arrows.
And this makes the change where you receive phone calls only
in the afternoon hours.
You can also select the individual days of the week
that you want to be contacted.
If you don't care and you want to receive calls
any day of the week, just go ahead and click the check,
or uncheck all button and all the boxes
will be pre-checked for you.
If the information is correct, go ahead to the bottom
and click on the "Save and Go To Step 4" button.
In this area, you are asked to provide your address
information.
Go ahead and enter your address information.
Please don't forget to click on the address type area.
And in this particular case, it's a mailing address.
If the information is correct, then
go ahead and click on the "Save and Go To Step 5" button.
This takes you to your church selection page.
Please remember that some churches in our program
have elected not to be visible by other churches
in our network.
There are various reasons for this,
one in training their personnel how to use the program
and for various other reasons.
If you happen to not know what your placard or password is
to get into your particular church,
please contact your own church to find this information.
Otherwise, if your church is not restricted from the network
as far as visibility to other churches in our program,
you can search by entering the "Search by Criteria" area.
Please note that the more information you provide,
the more successful your church search will be.
I went ahead and put in some limited information
into the search criteria, and as you can see,
we have a list of churches that did pop up.
We want to mention that these are just dummy churches.
They're not really in existence, and it's mainly
used for example purposes.
We're going to go ahead and have you select the Empower Church
and you just go ahead and click on that blue button.
In this area, you are requested to pick a type of affiliation
with this particular church.
You can either be a visitor of the church
and just want to have more information about the church
itself, or you can be a friend and actually
start participating in some of the programs.
The member participant is checked at this time.
And if the information is correct,
go ahead and click on the "Save Link Request" button.
You're taken to the next page where
you are given the opportunity to contact
your church at this time.
This isn't necessary.
You have already been linked to that particular church,
as you can notice.
But now, a participant area is present in the menu bar above.
However, if you would like to have the church pray for you,
please click on that area, and provide
the appropriate information.
Or if you want to be visited in the hospital,
you could do the same by clicking on that box.
If you do not want to take advantage of this at this time,
you can review your link to the church
by either clicking on the participant area in blue
where my cursor is at this time, or go up to the menu bar
above and click on Participants.
This takes you to the main participant page for you
as an individual.
As you can see, you can edit various things that you were--
and information that you were provided
in the initial registration process.
If you did not get a chance to complete that information,
you can add that at this time.
Also please note that you have been successfully linked
to the Empower Church, and you can enter that church
by either clicking on this button or the picture window
there.
Also remember that you can be a participant in more
than one church at one time.
So you could have several church buttons here
and also several picture windows where
you can scroll through to participate
in that particular congregation.
We hope that this video has helped you
in the registration process.
We wish you further empowerment in your service
to your congregation.
If we could be of any further help to you,
please feel free to contact us at any time.
God's blessings to you.
