**What Are Categories?**\
Categories are customizable folders that let you **group related content** (e.g., video sermons, event announcements, Bible study guides) into intuitive themes. This ensures your congregation can easily navigate materials, such as finding all resources on "Prayer" in one centralized hub.

* **Visual Branding**: Use high-quality images to mirror your church’s identity.
* **Regular Updates**: Refresh categories quarterly to reflect seasonal programs or sermon series.
