    Hi Andy, wee question on how best to set something up. Our congregation is split up into various districts with each person assigned to a district. Each district also has district visitors allocated, as well as district Elders and Deacons. We had a local database app that had a districts table with the District_ID stored in the persons table. With a few intermediate “many to many” tables we could assign elders, deacons and visitors for each district and assign a visitor to each person. This allowed us to produce reports for each district so visitors could have a list of their people to visit and a note of who the elders and deacons for that district. Hope this makes sense! I can provide examples and table relationships if it’s of any interest.

    Anyway, at the moment I think the only way to achieve this would be to set up each district as a small group, but it doesn’t really achieve the level of reports we currently have in use. Any thoughts on how to implement this, or is it something that might be considered for future development.

    Many thanks
    Robert

    There’s 2ways you could do this
    1) Small groups is the way to go. Firstly set up some ministries that over see the “small group” (district) – you can have infinite levels of oversight (well 10,000,000,000 anyway)
    2) Follow up funnels if it’s about visiting. Again set up your various levels of leadership and this time use different member levels for each district. Then people are assigned to a district/member level and a follow funnel can be assigned to do the visiting of people

    There’s more details on small groups, ministries and follow up funnels in teh manual at https://www.churchadminplugin.com/church-admin-manual.pdf

    Thanks for that Andy. Haven’t looked at Follow up Funnels yet, so will see if this will work for us.

    Cheers
