You need to make user accounts in WordPress for your church members to be able to login and then give them the link to the WordPress login page. Alternatively, you can install a WordPress plugin that has a widget that can be placed in the theme’s sidebar or a shortcode for a login which can be placed require login message area on the Connections : Settings admin page.

I’ve noticed that many churches mark the page as “Password protected”; that’s that page where you added the [connections] shortcode. The distribute that password to the church members, not as secure since it is “public” password, but is easier to manage than creating user accounts for every church member.

Hope that helps.
