Tithely Groups is small group software for churches — a complete church group management system for small groups, Bible studies, youth groups, and ministry teams. People browse and join open groups right from your church app. Leaders take attendance, manage their roster, and message the group without waiting on the church office. And because Groups runs inside Tithely Church Management, every sign-up and attendance record lands in the same profile as that person's giving, check-ins, and events so you can finally see who's actually connected.
Your small groups can connect with each other right within the Church App. You can also use Groups for your staff, ministry leaders, worship team, volunteers, and other groups within your church.
With Tithely’s Custom Church App, your church can engage members anytime—through messages, events, sermons, groups, and giving—all in one easy-to-use, branded app.
Groups can be managed within Tithely Church Management–making it simple to create small groups from your existing contacts.
Make it easy for your members to search for–and join–new groups.
Groups give leaders control over what Group pages look like to members and non-members.
Groups help your members stay more connected and involved.
Group Types help you create and customize different types of groups with information like when and where the group meets, and if it’s a closed or open group. Make the Group publicly accessible, or private. Create as many Group Types as you need to.
Tithely Groups brings small groups, Bible studies, and ministry teams together in one place—making it easy for people to join, stay connected, and grow in relationship, all from within your Church App powered by Tithely Church Management.
Just like your favorite social media app, you get notifications from Groups. Church members can choose Push notifications to keep them updated, or they can check notifications in the App.
With intuitive tools, seamless integrations, and world-class support, Tithely Church Management helps churches do more with less hassle.
Groups is included with Tithely Church Management. Add the custom church app so members can browse and join groups from their phones, or take the All-Access plan for the full toolset.
Tithely Giving is free, and Groups is included with Tithely Church Management. Free-tier group tools generally cap you on group count or drop attendance reporting — worth comparing against what your leaders actually need before choosing.
Yes. Create as many Group Types as you need — youth, young adults, women's, men's, ministry teams, serve teams — each with its own settings for privacy, meeting details, and who can join. Student groups are typically set to require leader approval so parents and leaders stay in the loop.
Yes. Each group has its own channel for group messages and direct messages, plus two-way push notifications through your church app. Leaders send reminders, share a location change, or ask a question, and members reply in the same thread — no shared phone numbers, no separate group text thread to maintain.
Yes. Groups can be public and open to anyone, publicly listed but requiring a join request that a group leader approves, or private and hidden entirely. Leaders control who's admitted. Useful for leadership teams, recovery groups, and student ministry.
Yes. Groups is part of Tithely Church Management, not a bolt-on, so group membership and attendance are attributes of the person record — visible next to giving history, check-ins, and event sign-ups. That's what lets you answer "who attends on Sunday but isn't in a group?" without exporting anything.
Group leaders take attendance on their own devices for their own groups, without needing admin access to your church database. Because Groups runs on Tithely Church Management, each week's attendance writes straight to the member records — so rosters stay current, and the office isn't retyping sign-in sheets.
People open your Tithely church app, browse or search the group directory, and tap to request to join — no form to fill out and no email to the office. Open groups accept members directly; closed groups route the request to the group leader for approval. Groups they've joined appear in a dedicated "Your Groups" section, with meeting day, time, and location on each group page.
Church group management software gives a church one place to organize its small groups, Bible studies, youth groups, and ministry teams — a searchable directory people can join from, roster and attendance tools for leaders, and group messaging. In Tithely, Groups sits inside Tithely Church Management, so group membership and attendance live in the same member profile as giving, check-ins, and event registrations rather than in a separate spreadsheet.
