Create tags
Tags help add extra information about your groups, determine the filters for group search in Church Center, and organize the group list and Reports pages. You can customize each tag group by adding different tags, which congregants and administrators can use to sort and filter searches, making it easier to find the groups they need.

Select the Groups page in the top navigation.
Select the ⚙️ settings icon in the top right.
Choose Tags from the dropdown to open the Tags page.
Select the Add tag group button in the top right corner of the page.
In the New tag group popup, enter a name for the tag group and then choose whether or not to display the tag on Church Center and whether or not to allow multiple tag selections.
Select the Save button.
Add a new tag to a tag group
