Adding Staff and People

The People section manages staff profiles, leadership bios, and other team members displayed on your website.

Creating a person

1. Go to Structure → People
2. Click the + button
3. Set Visibility — leave it on Public for staff and leadership. Directory only is for church members and is covered in Church Directory
4. Enter the Name and Position Title
5. Upload a Photo
6. Add optional Email, Phone, and Bio
7. Assign to a Category (e.g., "Staff," "Elders")

Alphabetized name

The Alphabetized Name field controls how people are sorted in lists. If left blank, the system generates one automatically by moving the last word of the name to the front.

Example: "Lucy Van Pelt" becomes "Van Pelt, Lucy" — which may not be what you want. For names with prefixes, particles, or suffixes, set this field manually.
