# Church Offices

### Customizable

You can create, reorder and change church offices in the [Account Settings](https://admin.lightpost.app/account/settings/church-offices) section.

The order of the offices listed in the Admin will determine the order that they show in the mobile app.

You cannot change the order of people listings in each office (they are alphabetical) currently.

### Leadership Listing

Church offices are what determines who shows up in the Leadership section of Lightpost (and a Lightpost Website, if you have the website feature enabled with the option to show your church leadership on the website.

The leadership section is **not** determined by roles or groups that happen to have the same name as a church office.  For example, a group called "Deacons" is not what decides who shows up in the "Deacons" section of the Leadership listing.

### Assigning a Church Office

To assign someone to a church office, visit their profile in the Admin, and scroll down to the "Church Office Information" section, and click the "Add" button.

#### USAGE NOTES

* A user can only belong to one type of office at a time. &#x20;
  * For example: you cannot assign two "Deacon" offices to a user, but you can assign a "Preacher" and an "Elder" office.
* A "subtitle" is a great way to describe the specific role of someone holding an office.
