Adding content and sub-pages to your MereChurch couldn't be simpler! Once your site is launched and ready to go you may need to add more pages to your site over time.
To add a page, just click the 'Pages' menu on the far left —from there, you'll see a list of all your pages. Click the pencil icon to add a new page.
