Groups

The Groups section lets you organize your church members into ministries, small groups, Bible studies, committees, and more. Groups are the backbone of community life at your church, and this section gives you the tools to create, manage, and communicate with every group in one place. Note that Teams are separate from Groups — Teams are used for serving and volunteer scheduling.

Overview​

Groups are organized by category. A category is a top-level label such as "Small Groups," "Ministries," or "Committees." Each category can contain multiple groups, making it simple to keep related groups together.

When you open the Groups page, you will see a Search groups... box, a row of category buttons, and a table of your groups. Each group shows its category and labels under its name, along with its member count. Click All or a category name to filter the list (extra categories are under More categories), and click the Name or People column heading to sort.

What You Can Do​

Here is what you can accomplish in the Groups section:

  1. Create and organize groups -- Add new groups within categories to reflect how your church is structured. See Creating Groups.

  2. Manage group members -- Add and remove members, designate leaders, and communicate with your groups. See Group Members.

  3. Schedule events -- Each group can have its own calendar for meetings, events, and recurring activities. See Group Calendar.

  4. Manage join requests -- When a group uses the Request join policy, review and approve or decline incoming membership requests from people who want to join. See Group Join Requests.

  5. Export group data -- Download member lists for any group as a CSV file for use in spreadsheets or mailings. See Group Members for export instructions.

Getting Started​

To access Groups, open the Jump menu (the search bar at the top-left of B1 Admin), expand People, and click Groups. You will see all of your existing groups, which you can filter by category.

If you are just getting started, begin by creating a few categories that match your church structure (for example, "Ministries," "Small Groups," "Committees"). Then add individual groups within each category. See Creating Groups for a step-by-step walkthrough.

Group members must first exist in your People directory before they can be added to a group. If you are setting up B1 for the first time, import your member data before creating groups.
