Elder teams, ministries, and open community groups. Each with its own roster and its own rhythm. Group chat lives in your church's app instead of a group text nobody can find.
Three group types, one directory · Real-time chat on every group · No group texts to chase
5 groups · 1 official · 2 ministry · 2 community
Official hidden, invite-only · Ministry public, request to join · Community open to join
Elder teams, ministries, and open community groups — each with its own visibility, its own join rule, and its own rhythm.
Tuesday Night Bible Study sits right in the directory. Members tap Join and they're in — no request, no waiting on a leader.
The details that keep a small group small: the right type, a chat people open, and a roster the leader controls.
Official, ministry, and community groups each carry their own visibility and join rule, so a board doesn't show up next to a book club.
Real-time chat lives in the member app, on their phone, so a reminder about Tuesday's location reaches people before the bulletin does.
A leader sees exactly who's asked to join, approves or declines from their phone, and the roster updates for everyone at once.
Every group carries its own meeting rhythm, upcoming events, and an announcements board any member can post to — with the next gathering pinned at the top.
Groups is the part of WayHouse your congregation actually touches. Members browse what’s open, see where a group meets before they commit, and join without anyone adding them by hand. It works on the web and in the app, with the same groups either way.
Every group open to them, with what it is, when it meets, and who leads it. No bulletin insert, no email to the office.
Community groups open the moment they tap Join. Ministries go to the group's leader to approve, not to your staff.
The group's feed and its chat sit in the same place they already give, pray, and RSVP. One login, nothing new to download.
Groups shares one member database with the rest of WayHouse, so nothing has to be synced or re-entered.
One profile per person, one place to look.
Email broadcasts and automated workflows your church reads.
A moderated wall where your church prays together.
Group chat your church actually opens.
