The directory is a private place for the people in your church to share their contact information with one another. Only people who have been invited to the directory will be able to see the directory or share their information. Set the parameters of the contact information you'd like them to include, and then each person can choose for themselves--or their household--the information they want to be shown.
See how the directory works in this video.
When the directory is enabled, you can see it on the web and in the Church Center app.
From the People tab, click the gear, and then click Directory.
