Help Your People Find Their People: Introducing Groups in Tithely Church Management

In every thriving church community, relationships are the heartbeat. From small groups to worship teams, youth ministries to Bible studies—these connections help people grow in faith and feel like they belong.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce Groups, a new feature built directly into Tithely Church Management and your Church App. With Groups, churches can easily create, organize, and communicate with their ministries, all from one place.

What You Can Do With Tithely Groups

Here’s what makes Groups a game-changer for church leaders:

• Fully Integrated – No more switching between apps or making awkward workarounds with tags. Groups live right inside your Tithely ChMS and Church App.
• Easy Setup – Turn existing tags into groups, add members in seconds, and choose whether the group is public or private in your app.
• Better Communication – Send an email or text to group members or leaders with just a few clicks.
• Smarter Planning – Link groups to events, display them in your app, and let people request to join.
• Peace of Mind for Admins – Groups sync with profiles and events, making it easier to track participation.

Tithely Groups Features

The new Groups experience isn’t just a small tweak—it’s a full upgrade for how your church organizes and connects people. Here’s what’s now possible:

• Custom Group Types – Create any kind of group, from small groups to volunteer teams, each with its own settings.
• Detailed Group Info – Add meeting times, locations, and other custom fields so members know exactly when and where to connect.
• Push Notifications – Send announcements directly to specific groups in the app, or schedule them for the right time.
• Member Notification Control – Let users choose which notifications they want to receive.
• Built-In Group Chat – Keep conversations in one place with messaging right inside the app.
• Rich Media Sharing – Post photos, videos, GIFs, and react with emojis to keep things personal and fun.
• Online Status Indicators – See who’s active at a glance, with avatars showing online or offline status.
• Leader Chat Controls – Group leaders can delete messages if needed, helping keep discussions healthy.
• Easy App Access – Members can find and join groups quickly from a dedicated Groups tab in the Church App.

Why Groups Matter for Your Church

Research consistently shows that church members who are part of a small group or ministry team are more likely to stay engaged and grow spiritually. But managing these groups can be a challenge—especially if you’re juggling spreadsheets, text chains, and outdated tools.

Groups in Tithely ChMS solves that by giving you one central hub for your people and their connections. Whether it’s the hospitality team, a midweek Bible study, or the kids’ ministry volunteer roster, everything (and everyone) is organized.
