• Fully Engaged: Group Participation AND Serving/Leading AND EITHER Individual Attendance (including registrations) OR giving (by the participant or their spouse) in the past 90 days.
  Note: Group Participation refers to a Participant with a Group Participant record associated with a current Group having a Group Type where Omit From Engagement Group Life is No (0).

  Serving/Leading refers to a Participant with a Group Participant record with a Group Role assigned as a Servant or Leader Role Type. See Creating Groups and Define Group Roles for more information.

• Partially Engaged: Group Participation OR Serving/Leading OR individual attendance (including registration) OR giving (by the participant or their spouse) in the past 90 days.
• Observing: Some individual or household activity in the past 90 days, but not enough to qualify as partially or fully engaged.
