Create a Group Role

Use group roles to differentiate group members' responsibilities within a group. For example, you might have a preschool class and need to differentiate which group participant is the preschool teacher, which group participant is the preschool teacher's helper, and which group participants are just the preschool students.

Note: Do not include time periods or status (for example, "2025 Ushers" or "Inactive Users" when creating group roles.

In the navigation menu, click Church Structure > Group Roles.
Click New Group Role.
Complete the fields.
Click Save.

Now you can assign group participants to this group role.
