Add and Manage Resources

Resources are the items you need to share with your group, from study guides and short videos to group photos and notes. Use Church Center to add resources to the groups you lead!

Supported File Types and Sizes

The types of files that you can add to a group include:

• PDFs

• Microsoft Word documents

• Text files

• Small image files

• Small videos (50Mb or less)

The maximum allowed file size is 50Mb. For larger files, we recommend that you upload the file to a separate hosting platform and create a private link to the file that you can share from the Resources page.

• You can host larger media files on a service like Dropbox, Google Drive, or Amazon S3.

• Large video files can be posted on a video platform like Youtube or Vimeo.

Scroll to the bottom of the resource page for editing options. 

1. Share the resource using the options available on your phone.

2. Edit the resource, including the name, description, file/link, and access settings.

3. Delete the resource. You must confirm deletion by tapping Yes, delete on the next page. This cannot be undone.

Tip

Alternatively, you can tap and hold the resource on the main Resource tab and select Go to file, Edit resource, or Delete resource without going into each individually!

Use the Options dropdown to make changes or delete the resource.

Notice

Administrators manage resources shared between groups. The Options menu on a shared resource only shows a link to contact your administrator by email.

View and Sort Resources

All of your group's resources are listed on the Resources tab.

• The icon next to a resource shows what type of resource it is (image, PDF, link, etc.) at a glance!

• Some resources are labeled to differentiate access.

  • Shared resources are accessible across multiple groups or group types but can only be managed by administrators.

  • Leader only resources can only be accessed by that group's leaders.

You can sort resources by Name (alphabetically) or Last Updated (date).
