Congregations or Parishes

A guide to Congregations and Parishes in MinistryPlatform.

  • In MinistryPlatform, the Household record lists the Congregation/Parish where a Household attends because we expect that a family worships together.
  • The Congregation/Parish of the Household does not limit which Groups or Events Household members might participate in. Therefore, an individual can worship at one Congregation/Parish and belong to a Group or an Event sponsored by another Congregation/Parish.
