A New Directory is Coming!

In our planning of this long-overdue new directory, we’ve learned that very few companies still go out to churches to take pictures and create printed directories. After some discussion and weighing of options, therefore, we’ve decided to self-publish a new directory! The biggest change from directories done in the past is that we’re asking you to submit your own photo, as we don’t have a photographer to come out and take these pictures.

We are going to wait to finalize and print the hard copy directory until we have a full pastoral staff. In the meantime, we encourage you to utilize the digital directory in the Church Center app. If you haven’t already, install the Church Center app on your smart device and see all it has to offer. Visit the apps page for more details and instructions.

If you have any questions, please contact Deb Nelson at 605/359.8867.

More details and instructions will continue to be posted here, so check back often!

submitting your photo

Start submitting and updating your photos now! If you’ve previously uploaded a family picture in Church Center, please review it and ensure it follows our guidelines and tips below. Note that we may crop pictures as needed, and we may reach out and ask you to submit a new photo if submissions won’t work in the directory. Please submit your horizontal photo by December 31, 2023.

how to submit

  • Email: media@flcsf.org

  • Text: 605/368.1358

  • Upload to your Church Center profile in the app

  • Include names as you’d like them printed

Note: If these options don’t work for you, we’ll also schedule some time when photos can be taken at church. Stay tuned for a schedule!

guidelines/tips for taking your photo:

  • Take your picture horizontally (landscape)

  • Avoid selfies if possible

  • Get close enough to see faces—aim for waist up with minimal head room

  • Utilize natural light as much as possible, and avoid looking into the sun
