Spiritual Care Providers allow you to assign any number of church members to an elder, a lay leader, pastoral staff, or any other church member for the purpose of being a spiritual support to other church members. You may assign any name to any Spiritual Care Provider who appears on your list of SCPs just as you select items for, say, the Membership Status field. You can create or modify your SCP list by using the Edit Menus/Pick Lists item on the Preferences Menu.
To assign someone a Spiritual Care Provider, you can use the SCP field located on the Enter/Modify/Delete Names dialog. Once you are there, simply select the name of the Provider from the drop-down menu provided.
You can also assign an SCP and also edit/create the list of Spiritual Care Providers on the Spiritual Care Providers dialog shown below:
Edit/Create List of Spiritual Care Providers
To edit or create the list of Spiritual Care Providers, work with the column on the far left. You can type in any name you wish, one on each line. To move to the next line, press the down arrow key.

Note that you can also Insert a line, Delete a line, Sort the list, or clear it all out using the buttons provided under the Save Changes button. You can also modify this list using the Preferences | Edit Menus/Pick Lists item.
