Organise members into groups and cells
Groups are how you slice your congregation — a ministry, a cell, an age set, the choir. They’re also the audiences you message and the cells cell-leaders mark attendance for, so a good group structure pays off everywhere.

Step by step
- 1
Create a group
Name a group and it’s ready. A member can belong to as many groups as you like — the choir, the youth, and the Tuesday cell all at once.
- 2
Add and remove people
Open a group to search its members, add people with the picker, or remove them. You can rename or delete a group from the same place.
- 3
Use a group as an audience
When you compose a message or take attendance, pick a group to scope it — “message the Youth cell”, “attendance for Zebulon cell”.
- 4
Know your automatic groups
Some groups are managed for you — like “Visiting members”, which fills itself from how people signed up. Those are read-only because their membership is source-driven.
Questions
Can a member be in more than one group?
Yes — a member can be in any number of groups, and messaging or attendance simply uses whichever group you pick.
