Security
At Turning Point, we use an online database system called Connection Power. Their system allows us to provide access to your contribution records and allows you to make donations online. They provide all of the security for the system. This system is used by churches throughout the country.
Connection Power provides data security using the latest security technology.
Connection Power will create you a random generated temporary password of which you can then change to something you will then remember. The password must contain both numbers and text and must be at least 8 characters long. If you forget your password, you can have the system email it to you by clicking the link (Forgot your password) on the Member Login page. If you need help or cannot remember the email address you used, you can contact us by
email. You can also change your password at any time.
Please help us keep your information safe by protecting your login information. Access to sensitive personal and financial information can be gained by letting someone else use your account or by leaving the information for someone else to see. Turning Point will never call you to ask for your login information.
