For parishes yet to convert—please ensure that you direct efforts to clean up your data as much as possible before your wave. This is essential to ensure accurate and clean data migration from PDS to MP.
Hands-On Learning Activities: Self-paced videos have been developed and are designed to help you familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of Ministry Platform.
Next, take a look at our MP Learning Activities. These activities are hands-on, power-packed, bite-sized, video walkthroughs that show (and tell!) you what you need to know to make ministry happen!
Ministry Platform has an extensive Knowledge Base (KB). You can search on MP topics and drill down into a topic as far as you’d like, whether you are trying to get a high-level functionality overview, learn what fields are in a Page, create a new workflow, set up the system, and everything in between.
Below you will find links to a few crowd favorites!
PDS Training Options: PDS has a number of training options for you to consider. You can learn at your own pace, from the privacy of your home or office.
