Groups
Help people find a group that matches their needs
Make it easier for you and others to network in groups. Organize your church's activities and groups in a central space, link them to your database and thus strengthen your church with an organic structure that also promotes community during the week.
Connecting people
Create different groups and group types, use filters to search, and add relevant information so that visitors and members can discover suitable opportunities. Make group descriptions clear and engaging: By using headings, lists, highlights, images, mentions, and links, you can turn information into real points of reference for people in your church.
Simple administration
Whether ministry groups, small groups, altar servers, senior citizens’ groups, confirmands, seminars, courses, camps or whatever else happens in a group of people – with ChurchTools you can organize them all effortlessly. Assign them to superordinate and subordinate groups, branches of work or diaconates, enter the leaders and create a supporting and lively structure – even across several locations with the multi-site function. Automatic memberships keep groups up to date without manual effort and ensure that no one is overlooked.
Efficient communication
Thanks to the group filter, you can communicate quickly, easily and precisely. Choose which group(s) you want to target and write to them via E-mail, ChurchTools chat or posts without having to rely on additional apps or algorithms. Allow people to sign up for events and groups by creating customized forms that you embed on your website. This allows you to even reach people outside your church.
Maintaining an overview as group leader
Who’s in the group? How long has each person been a member? Who has signed up, and who hasn’t yet? With ChurchTools, you can keep track of your groups and provide targeted guidance to people. Routines and follow-ups help with this and give you more time for those who haven’t been around for a while.
Link important content directly within the group so everyone can find what they need with just one click.
