Roles and members of a group

Updated on 18 de September, 2026

A group rests on the people who form it. In Domo each member has a clear role within the group.

The roles within a group

  • Leader — the group's leader (in a discipleship it's called the "discipler"). They're the one who can take attendance and manage the group. There's only one.
  • Co-leader — a supporting leader. You can assign several: they're added as chips, just like members. This option may be turned on or not, depending on your church's settings.
  • Member — the rest of the people who take part.

The leader and the co-leaders get permission to manage their group and take its attendance, even if they're not part of the pastoral staff. It's how Domo delegates care to your leaders.

Adding and removing co-leaders

In the group's form, search for the person in the co-leaders field and tap their name: they become a chip. To remove them, tap the chip's × and save.

Whoever becomes a co-leader leaves the members list: the leader and the co-leaders are counted separately, they aren't duplicated below as members of the group.

Changing the co-leaders can be done by whoever manages Discipleships or by the group's leader. A co-leader can't edit the co-leader list; if they try, Domo tells them instead of half-saving.

The cards in the list, the leader's panel, the groups calendar and each meeting's detail show all the co-leaders, not just the first one.

Add members

You can add people when creating the group or when editing it:

  1. Open the group and go to edit it.
  2. In the members field, search for the person by name ("Search and add members…").
  3. Click them to add them. They'll appear in the group's list.
  4. Click Save.

Removing someone is just as simple: you remove them from the list and save.

Only people already registered appear in the directory. If the one you're looking for isn't there, add them first from the Directory.
