Updating your church name in Elvanto involves several key steps to ensure consistency across your account. Super Admins have the authority to make these changes in areas including account settings, layouts, communication templates, and more. Begin by adjusting the account name, then proceed to update layouts to reflect your new church name. Don't forget to modify email and letter headers/footers, along with any built-in contact templates where your church name appears manually. Additionally, review email and letter templates for any needed changes. Lastly, it's wise to inspect all settings sections for any mentions of your old name, such as in giving statement messages, to guarantee thorough update completion.
