Leadership Overview

Overview​

The Leadership module displays key church leaders so members can easily identify who serves in various roles.

The module groups leaders into four roles, shown in this order:

  1. Office Staff
  2. Ministers
  3. Elders
  4. Deacons

Leaders appear here automatically once they are assigned a leadership group in the Directory. A role with nobody assigned to it simply doesn't appear.

Assign a Member to Leadership​

Leadership is assigned from a member's directory record, so this needs permission to edit the Directory — either App Admin or Directory module admin. See Module Permissions.

  1. Open the Directory module.
  2. Locate and tap the member’s name.
  3. Tap the pencil icon in the app bar to enter edit mode.
  4. Tap the pencil icon next to the member’s name.
  5. Assign the member to the appropriate leadership group.
  6. Tap the checkmark to save.

The member will automatically appear in the Leadership module.

Edit Leadership Descriptions​

App Admins can also describe each role’s responsibilities.

  1. Open the Leadership module.
  2. Tap the pencil icon in the app bar.
  3. Edit the description for each leadership role.
  4. Tap the checkmark to save.

Important Notes​

  • Leaders are shown based on their assigned group in the Directory.
  • Editing the role descriptions from within the Leadership module is a separate permission from assigning people to roles.
  • Removing a leadership group from a member will remove them from the Leadership module.
  • Members cannot assign themselves to leadership roles.
