Groups where community grows.
Free for up to 50 active members. No credit card required.
COMMUNICATION
Built-in group messaging
Group leaders can message their entire group via email or SMS directly from Kinship — no need to maintain separate distribution lists or group texts. Prayer requests, meeting reminders, schedule changes, and encouragement all flow through one system with full delivery tracking.
"No more separate group texts, email chains, or distribution lists to maintain."
Everything flows through one system — email, SMS, prayer requests, meeting reminders — with full delivery tracking so leaders know their messages are landing.
ENGAGEMENT & EMPOWERMENT
Tools that work for leaders and staff
Simple Attendance Tracking
Track who shows up — and notice when someone stops. Group leaders can take attendance in seconds from any device. Attendance trends surface automatically so your pastoral team can follow up with members who have gone quiet, before a brief absence becomes a prolonged one.
Leader Self-Service
Give group leaders their own login with scoped permissions. They can manage their roster, take attendance, send messages, and update group details — all without needing to bother the church office. Your staff maintains oversight while leaders stay empowered and autonomous.
Group Finder
Publish a group finder on your member portal so people can browse open groups by category, day of the week, location, or topic. Members request to join directly, and leaders approve — no paperwork, no back-and-forth emails, no one slipping through the cracks.
Flexible Visibility
Control who sees what. Public groups appear in the group finder. Private groups are visible only to members and leaders. Hidden groups exist only for staff — perfect for sensitive ministries like recovery programs and pastoral care teams.
Build a connected congregation through groups
Get your groups organized in minutes. Whether you have 5 groups or 50, Kinship scales with your community.
