CCB Group Sync
Keep one CCB group matching everyone actively serving in this ministry, for example so your "Kids Ministry Volunteers" group in CCB is always right.
- Click Set up CCB group sync...
- Search for the CCB group and pick it.
- Click Save link. This also keeps it in sync on every Auto-Sync.
- To run it now, click Sync now, then confirm.
What happens:
- Active volunteers are added to the CCB group.
- Anyone in the CCB group who isn't an active volunteer is removed from it. Pick a group used only for this.
- Group leaders in CCB are never removed.
- People not in CCB are skipped.
It also runs when you click Sync in Volunteers.

Volunteers answer in the Serve app under Me. Staff can fill them in from a volunteer's record under About.
Deleting a field deletes everyone's answers to it.
