Welcome > Ministries > Small Groups > Online Registration FAQs for Leaders How secure is the website? Will people searching for a small group be able to see our personal information?
Private information (such as address, phone number, email, etc.) is only viewable by leadership or other members within a group who have been provided with a password by the group leader. Further, the leader's name and the names of group members will not show up to anyone except leadership. The information that others would see if they went into the website would be simply as follows: Group Name (which you could make anything, a person's name need not be listed), Meeting Day, Meeting place (which is not an address but whatever you chose to list as the title for the location such as someone's home), Time of Day, Group Description, Study Topic and an optional group picture or group link if your group had the desire to have those.

How do I log-in to register my group?
To obtain the log-in password, email Debra Hladik at and tell her that you have a group to register.

I am having trouble getting into my group, what should I do?
If you are having trouble, feel free to contact Debra at .  Also, please note that the log-in password is not the same as your individual group password.  Putting your group password into the log-in box will not allow you access to the program.

I have lost my group password.  What do I do?
Email Debra at and she will send you a temporary password which will allow you to get into the system and put in a new group password.

What do I do to register my group after I log-in?
After you enter the log in, you will be taken to the Group Finder Main Menu. From this list select the option for Create a New Group. This will take you through a series of questions that allow you to put in all of your group's information. Please fill in the information as completely as possible. If your group meets in more than one location, choose one address to use as the "main address". If your group meets on different days or at different times, please do the same thing. You can use the group description box to clarify any details that might be varied from the prescribed responses.

How can I add or delete a member from my group?
Log-in and choose your group from the list.  This should take you to a Small Group Information Page.  On this page you should see Add new member(s) underneath where the member names are listed. Click on this link and it will take you to a box that will allow you to choose the names of your members from a list. If you have a member whose name does not appear on the list, you can click below that list to add a member not listed and then fill in the information requested. Please be as complete as possible as this information is used to update our church database system.

To delete someone from your group, find their name in the member list and look for the delete button to the right of their name.

How can I update a member's or my own information, such as email addresses?
You can update any and all information including emails by clicking on the link labeled "View Profile" which can be found to the right of each group member's name on the Group Information page. This will take you to a screen that has a list that begins with "Update name/address information for (the person's name)". Click on this link and it takes you to a screen where any changes or updates that need to be made can be completed.

What if a drop down list that provides choices does not have what I need for my group?
Debra can add anything to the drop down lists that leaders require.  Send her an email at and she will be happy to make the change.

What if I am not the leader of my group, but fill a different role (such as contact person)?
You can choose another role by going to the Group Information page. On the line next to your name you will likely see the word "leader". Click on that word and it will take you to a drop down list where you can choose "facilitator or contact person" or whatever role you feel is appropriate. You can change any of the other people in your group as well if you wish. Again, if you need something added to this list, please let Debra know through email.

What if our group has more than one leader?
You can list up to two leaders for your group.  Or your group can choose one contact person through whom correspondance will be received and online updates will be maintained.  Please do not list more than two people as a leader.

How do I show that my group is closed and not taking new members?
