The Affiliation field is designed primarily for use in multi-church districts, though you can certainly make good use of it if that does not describe your ministry setting.

You can define up to 300 menu choices for this field by selecting the Menu Items choice on the Preferences Menu. You may also modify the Affiliation list of choices by double-clicking in the edit box for Affiliation.

To use the Affiliation field, enter a descriptive word or short phrase which describes the various churches in your district.

To affiliate a name with a church in your district, highlight or click on the appropriate church from the drop down menu and press Enter. Press TAB to move on to the next field.

To clear affiliate information, double-click in the field with your mouse pointer, and then press the DEL key.

Additional Uses for Affiliation

If you do not have a multi-church district, you might still find this field useful to track:

•Current denominational affiliation of interests in your file

•Home Bible Fellowship Groups

•Other specific or unique groups in your church
