Creating and Editing Groups

There is no "one-size-fits-all approach" to using Groups in ChurchTrac. ChurchTrac includes sample Groups to help you get started. You can edit or delete these Groups and create your own.

• Creating new Groups
• Using Subgroups
• Church Attendance Tracking
• Church Volunteer Scheduling

Creating New Groups

To create and manage groups, navigate to the Groups page found on the People screen under the Setup tab.

From the Actions menu, select "Add a New Group."

Using Subgroups

Sometimes you have a collection of related Groups. You can do this by assigning a Group as a "subgroup" of a parent group. For example, let's say your church has several discipleship groups that meet during the week. Your main (or parent) Group would be "Discipleship Groups" and each small group would be a subgroup of that parent group.

To assign a group as a subgroup under another group, follow these steps:

1. Select the group you want to designate as a subgroup.
2. Locate the list labeled "This group is a subgroup of."
3. From this list, select the parent group.
