Create a Group
A group has three pieces of basic information: Group Name, Grade, and Description.
Groups are not event-specific; when you create a group, you can assign that group to participate in any event, regardless of whether the event is a Classroom, Lectionary, Rotation, or other curriculum model. Group functionality was designed this way so that churches that use more than one curriculum model can re-use the same groups.
Picking a Grade
Spark Online requires that a single grade or age be chosen for a group.
This allows churches who use multiple curriculum models to re-use groups (Rotation curriculum groups age-levels differently than Spark Classroom and Lectionary curriculum).
Selecting a grade will help you identify the group when creating an event. Selecting a grade does not pre-determine what age-level of content the group will receive for a particular event.
For more information on adding groups to events, see Add Groups on the
Event Planning help page.
