Setting Up Classrooms

Before you can schedule lessons, you need to create classrooms that represent your teaching environments. This guide walks you through creating, naming, and managing classrooms in the Lessons.church portal.

Before You Begin

Creating a Classroom​

  1. Log in to your account at Lessons.church.
  2. Navigate to your Portal. This is your church's central hub for managing classrooms and schedules.
  3. In the Classrooms box, click Add. If you don't have any classrooms yet, click Add First Classroom instead.
  4. Enter a Classroom Name. Choose something descriptive that your volunteers will recognize -- for example, "Preschool," "Elementary K-2," or "Middle School."
  5. Click Save. Your new classroom appears in the Classrooms list right away.

Repeat these steps for each room or age group at your church. You can create as many classrooms as you need.

First-Time Setup​

If you have not set up any classrooms yet, your portal will display a setup video to guide you through the process. This video covers the basics of creating classrooms and scheduling your first lessons. It is a great starting point if you are new to Lessons.church.

tip

Name your classrooms to match how your volunteers already think about your rooms. If everyone calls it "the Pre-K room," name it "Pre-K" rather than something formal like "Early Childhood Education Room 101."

Managing Classrooms​

Your classrooms appear on the portal dashboard where you can manage them at any time. From here you can:

  • Rename a classroom -- Click the Edit classroom (pencil) icon next to it, change the Classroom Name, and click Save.
  • Remove a classroom -- Click Edit classroom, then click the Delete classroom (trash can) icon and confirm.
  • View the schedule -- Click on any classroom to see its lesson schedule.

What's Next​

Once your classrooms are set up, you are ready to start scheduling lessons so your volunteers know what to teach each week.
