Maintaining accurate membership records is crucial for effective church administration. My Church System provides an intuitive way to update a member’s status to Deceased or Transferred using the following steps:

Step 1: Access the Members Table

1. Navigate to the Brethren section in the left sidebar menu.
2. Click on Members Table to display the list of registered members.

Step 2: Open the Action Menu

1. Locate the member whose status you need to update.
2. Click on the Action Menu (three vertical dots) next to the member’s entry.
3. A dropdown menu will appear with various status options.

Step 3: Update the Member’s Status

From the Action Menu, select the appropriate status:

• Mark as Deceased – To indicate that the member has passed away.
• Mark as Transferred – To update the record for a member who has moved to another church or location.
• Other available options include Mark as Traveling, Mark as Sick, and Mark as Active, which allow for additional status updates as necessary.

Step 4: Provide a Reason for the Status Change

After selecting an option such as Mark as Transferred or Mark as Deceased, a dialog box will appear prompting you to enter a reason for the update. This step ensures transparency and proper record-keeping.

1. Enter the reason for the status change in the provided text box.
2. Click Update to confirm the change or Cancel to discard the action.

Step 5: Confirm the Update

Once a status option is selected and a reason is provided, the system will update the member’s record accordingly. The new designation will be reflected in the Brethren Information Table, ensuring accurate and up-to-date records.
