# Departments

Organize your church ministries and assign members to each one.

## What it is

Departments are your church's ministries or areas (worship, youth, children, etc.). You can create them and assign members to each, with a role within the department.

## Who can do it

**Pastor/a** and **Administrador/a**.

## Steps

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open Departments

Go to **Departamentos** (Departments) in the menu.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Create a department

Press **Nuevo departamento** (New department) and give it a name.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Assign members

Use **Asignar miembro** (Assign member) to add people and set their role within the department (Leader, Co-leader, Treasurer, or Member).
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Available actions

* **Nuevo departamento** / **Editar departamento** / **Eliminar departamento** (New / Edit / Delete department).
* **Asignar miembro** / **Remover miembro** (Assign / Remove member).

{% hint style="info" %}
The role within a department is **independent** of the church-wide role. Someone can be a "Member" in the church and a "Leader" of a department.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.koinia.app/user-guide-english/modulos/departamentos.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
