Communication Groups

The Groups tab lets you create and manage reusable recipient lists for targeted messaging. Instead of sending every message to your entire congregation, you can create groups for specific audiences — such as leadership, youth parents, or volunteers.

Using Groups When Sending

When composing a message on the Send tab, the audience dropdown lists all of your Communication Groups alongside the Everyone option. Each group displays its member count so you can see how many recipients will receive the message.

Select a group to send your message only to the members in that group.

Deleting a Group

To delete a group you no longer need:

Note: Deleting a group does not delete the members themselves — it only removes the group as a recipient list. Members remain in your directory.
