ChurchSoftware.com Groups
What it is
ChurchSoftware.com Groups helps churches organize small groups, Bible studies, ministries and life groups. Administrators can assign leaders, add members and sort groups by age, interest, ministry area or purpose. Each group can have records for attendance, events and notes. Messaging is designed for focused group discussions rather than reply-all conversations, while leaders can manage members and follow up with them. Groups is part of a church plan that also includes people and volunteer management, online giving, check-in, event registration and forms, a sermon library, a mobile app, custom reports and customer support. The maker says the core platform is free forever for eligible 501(c)(3) organizations and states that there are no trials. The product is available on Android, iOS and the web. Its mobile apps also provide access to events, giving, check-ins, announcements and sermons or media. The company says it uses reasonable security measures but does not guarantee absolute security.
