Getting Started with ShelbyNext
ShelbyNext is an online database and communication tool for church staff, members and friends of Sheridan Lutheran Church. Every member has a Shelby account which gives access to a church directory, calendar events, online giving and the ability to monitor your giving and event registration payments.
Access to this secure and private database is available through a login and password. You can request access by contacting Brenda Carpenter. By using the Sheridan Lutheran Church Online Directory, you are agreeing to use the information for personal use only and not for any other purpose.
If Sheridan Lutheran has an email address on file for you, you should have received an email with your login details at the email account registered with the church office. If you didn’t get the email, contact the church office to set up an account.

What if I notice a change is needed in my profile?
We try to keep up-to-date information, but sometimes we miss something. Please let us know of any changes by using the “edit” tab on the desktop version or the blue icon on the bottom left corner of the screen in the app. This will automatically notify the church office of the needed change. Once the change is approved by the church office, it will be reflected in your profile.
What about my recurring online giving through Vanco or Simply Giving?
We are also moving to ShelbyNext Giving for all recurring gifts and would like to encourage those who give online to move to this new platform for giving; however, we are not eliminating any giving already set up through Vanco.
If you would like to transfer your online giving to ShelbyNext:
- Go to www.shelbygiving.com/sheridanlutheran – click the “First Time” link and create a new giving account by entering your personal and payment information. You may enter one-time contributions or automatic recurring contributions.
- Once you have completed the online giving in ShelbyNext, you may notify the church office or login to your Vanco account and cancel any recurring contributions set up there.
- Contact Brenda Carpenter in the church office at 402-423-4769 for assistance with adding, changing or canceling contributions.
