Welcome to your church group on Faithlife.com! This group is designed to be the online hub to help your church communicate, coordinate, and grow. The easiest way to find your group is to go to Faithlife.com and sign in. This shows your personal Faithlife feed. It contains content from every group you’ve joined. To view a specific group, select it on the left.
The left-hand Community panel inside your group is the main navigation for all the resources and connection points available in your group.
Now that you’re a part of your Faithlife group, here are some of the things you can do.
Note: Some of these options may be restricted, depending on how your admin has set up the group. If you have specific questions about your group, contact an admin (they’re listed in the About section of your church group).

Invite Other People to Your Church Group
Your church group connects your community throughout the week, making it easy to share information and support each other. You don’t want anyone to miss out on that, right? If you see someone is missing, send them an invitation to join your group.
- When you’re in your church group, click the blue Invite button.
- Enter email addresses for those you’d like to invite. You can also include a personal note about why you’d like them to join.
- Click Invite to send them an email invitation to join your church group.
Send a Message
Messaging via Faithlife is a great way to keep in touch, send updates, and encourage your community.
- Click the messaging icon
in the upper right and select New message.
- Select whether you want to send a message to your church group, start a conversation on a topic, or message an individual.
- If you select Group, type the name of your group in the address box and press Enter. You’ll enter the group chat for your church group, where you can send messages and more (Note: Your group permissions may not allow messaging the group).
- If you select Topic, type a description for the topic, then enter the people you want to be included in the discussion.
- If you select Person, type the name of the person you want to message and press Enter. You’ll enter a one-on-one chat with that person.
Note: Learn more about messaging with Faithlife messages.
Post to Your Group’s Feed
If you want to say something to your entire community, create a post in your group’s feed. Select one of the six post types available.
- Post: standard text post with optional media attachment
- Media: standard media post with optional text field
- Prayer: post for prayers (choose between different prayer request types like “praise,” “give thanks,” “ask,” etc.) with optional media attachment
- Article: full article with a banner photo, title, and rich-text editor
Your post will use your group’s default privacy permission. You can always set visibility for your specific post via the dropdown. For example, you may want to limit a personal prayer request’s visibility to Members and above to let only those who’ve officially joined your group to see your post. Use the dropdown to choose a new option.
Note: If the post’s visibility says “To: My Faithlife” you are posting to your personal Faithlife feed, not your group. Use the post’s visibility dropdown to select your church group. Learn more about posting in your church group.
