You can add new ministries through Ministries → Add New Ministry in the WordPress Administration Panel.
Ministries contain most of the same options as standard posts. You can read about these in the Add New Post chapter. Additionally, they contain post options specific to ministries.
Ministry Options
Ministry Options are found below the editor on the Edit Ministry page. If the Ministry Options are not visible, make sure they are checked inside the Screen Options area at the top.
If you are adding a new ministry, make sure you have saved the post before editing ministry options. Otherwise, the ministry options will not be visible.
