Create a Group

If your church uses groups for connection, resources, or communication, you can create as many groups as necessary! It's best to create group types first, but you can also add your groups to group types after you've made them.

Create a New Group

On the Groups page, select the New group button.

Enter the group's name and select the group type.

Notice

Some groups don't belong in a group type because they're leadership groups or don't fit in with the other groups. These groups can be assigned to the Unique Groups group type, which shows as their own category on Church Center.

If you're creating several groups in the same group type, filter the Groups page to the group type and select New group. You won't have to keep choosing the group type when you enter the name.

Set Up the Group

Add members, events, resources, and group settings.

1. Add or remove members, make a member a group leader, or email all the members in your group.

2. Add events to the calendar and send event reminders so members can RSVP.

   Notice

   Creating an event makes you the reply-to person if someone responds to a reminder email for that event.

3. Add resources to your group.

4. Change the logo, description, location, contact information, and more in the Settings. If the group belongs to a group type, it may have inherited settings.

5. Add automations to the group.

6. Review reports on membership and event attendance.
