🔁 Looking to swap participants?
Until April 30 you can swap out participants without losing your deposit. Below are the steps to swap information for the same types of attendees (youth to youth or adult to adult). Unfortunately the information is locked if your participant will attend the MYLE or the tAble or has received financial assistance or synod support to attend. Please email [email protected] with your congregational ID, the former attendee’s name and the new attendee’s information. We’ll be happy to swap them out on our end.
1) Log in to the congregation's registration portal.
2) Click "Add/Edit Youth (or Adult) Participants."
3) Click the pencil icon next to the name of the person who isn’t coming.
4) Replace their information with the new person’s information.
5) Make sure to click “Save” at the bottom of the screen once all edits have been made.
🔁 Looking to change participant type from youth to adult or vice versa?
1) Log in to the congregation’s registration portal.
2) Click the “View All Registrants” button.
3) Click the "Switch" button next to the participant’s name.
4) Update the participant's information by clicking the "Home" button in the upper left corner. Then click "Add/Edit Youth Participants"; from there you can update that person's information.
