Special Note for PowerChurch Online Users:
A new IDS Client update will soon be published for Windows users which resolves some known issues and also adds DPI scaling to the IDS Client. This means that if you have large fonts enabled on your Windows computer, PowerChurch Online will now scale properly. It also allows Windows Themes support, so the program will look more like current generation Windows apps. The IDS Client update will be gradually released across each of our servers over the next few days and will download and install on your computer automatically when ready.
A new IDS Client for Mac users was published back in October for El Capitan compatibility. Visit http://www.mypowerchurch.com to download and install the new Mac client if you have not already done so.
