Can I track sacraments in Gracely?

Updated over a month ago

Yes! While Gracely doesn’t have a built-in “Sacraments” module yet, you can easily track sacraments like Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, or First Communion using custom fields

How do I set up sacrament tracking?

Step 1: Go to My Church > Church Settings

Navigate to your settings from the sidebar.

Step 2: Click on Custom Fields

This section allows you to define your own fields that appear in each member’s profile.

Step 3: Create Custom Fields for Each Sacrament

Click + Add Custom Field, and enter:

  • Field Name: e.g., Baptized?, Date of Baptism, Confirmed?, Marriage Date

  • Field Type: Use checkboxes, date fields, or dropdowns depending on the data you want to track.

    • ✔️ Checkbox: For Yes/No (e.g., Baptized?)

    • 📅 Date: For sacrament dates (e.g., Confirmation Date)

    • ⬇️ Dropdown: For options like Infant Baptism, Adult Baptism

Step 4: Save and Apply

Once saved, these fields will now appear on each person’s profile, under the “Custom Fields” section.

How can I search by sacraments?

Once you've added custom fields:

    • Example: Find all members who are baptized but not confirmed.

Why use custom fields?

Custom fields let you personalize Gracely to match your church’s sacramental record-keeping, without needing a separate module. It’s simple, flexible, and powerful.
