Getting Started

Get your church set up with Firesky in a few steps.

1. Create an Account

  1. Go to Sign up or accept an invite from your church admin.
  2. Create your account and join your church.

2. Configure Settings

In the Dashboard → Settings:

  • Church profile — Name, tagline, address, contact info, logo, primary color, and social links
  • CHMS provider — If you use Ministry Platform or Planning Center, select your provider and add credentials. This unlocks CHMS-backed widgets and tools.

3. Add Your First Widget

Step 1: Add an allowed origin

Go to Dashboard → Widgets → Allowed origins and add each domain where you'll embed widgets (e.g. https://mychurch.org). Without this, widget API calls will be rejected.

Step 2: Embed the script

Add this to your website's <head> or top of <body>:

<script id="FireSkyWidgets" src="https://www.thefiresky.com/widgets.js"></script>

Step 3: Add a widget element

Place the widget custom element where you want it to appear:

<!-- Free for all churches — great starting point -->
<fs-prayer-wall></fs-prayer-wall>

<!-- Or verify your setup with the test widget -->
<fs-test-widget></fs-test-widget>

If you see the prayer wall (or your church name with the test widget), the embed is working correctly.

4. Explore More Widgets

See the Widgets Overview for the full list of available widgets. Highlights:

  • Prayer Wall — Let visitors submit and pray for requests
  • Firesky Forms — Embed custom forms built in your dashboard
  • Media Library — Publish sermon series and videos
  • User Badge — Show a staff member's name and photo (requires CHMS)

5. Explore Tools

Go to Dashboard → Tools to see available dashboard tools. Firesky-hosted tools work for all churches. CHMS-specific tools require your provider to be configured in Settings.
