Updates This Week (March 1 - 8) - Congregation Hub Blog

Major improvements to the mobile registration flow for new users and churches:

Passwordless registration — no password required for church sign-up
New member registration now requires admin approval before accessing the app
Admin gets notified of every new member registration
Church search by name or city during sign-up
Verification code returned in local dev for easier testing
Onboarding API endpoints — add people, list people, browse groups, CSV import, and mark onboarding complete

Several fixes and new features for the church website engine:

Configurable "Useful Links" in footer — admins can now set custom footer links with label + URL through the website settings, falling back to navigation links if none are set
Fixed CTA button URLs — hero call-to-action buttons now resolve through the preset system instead of pointing to a hardcoded /visit page
Fixed About page sections — content headings and section headings now render correctly
Fixed event links — homepage event section now links to actual event URLs
Larger logo in navbar and footer for better visibility
Bolder church name in footer

Upcoming events on the calendar page now show events within 30 days (previously 7 days), so further-out events are no longer hidden

New import command for migrating sermons from legacy SQLite databases (used for Corner Brook church migration — 79 sermons, 9 series, 5 speakers)
Fixed MP3 URL handling so external storage URLs pass through correctly
