Help people find
where they belong.

Join Community matches your church members to community groups based on life stage, location, schedule, and interests — so every Sunday visitor has a chance to become a true community member.

70–80% of first-time visitors never return — the #1 reason is never forming a real relationship.

22% of churchgoers don't know their church even offers small groups.

#1 driver of group joining is a personal, warm invitation.

The gap in your church tech stack

Planning Center manages your groups.
Join Community fills them.

Your church software tracks who's in a group. Join Community figures out who should be — and makes the introduction feel personal, not automated.

From Sunday visitor to community member in 48 hours

01

Member fills out a short questionnaire

Scan a QR code or click a link on a connection card. Five minutes. No account needed. They share their life stage, neighborhood, schedule, and a few interests.

02

Join Community surfaces the best-fit groups

The matching engine weighs life stage (40%), proximity (30%), schedule (20%), and interests (10%) to find groups where the newcomer is most likely to stick.

03

Warm introduction — both sides informed

The newcomer sees the group's profile before committing. The group leader gets a draft invitation email showing who the newcomer is. No surprises. No awkward cold intros.

04

Pastor sees the connection rate trend

Your pastor dashboard shows the church-wide connection rate with a 12-month trend line. One number that tells you if people are truly belonging — not just attending.

Every feature is designed around one outcome: belonging

Smart Matching Engine

Four weighted factors — life stage, proximity, schedule availability, shared interests — produce a ranked match score. The right people, in the right groups, for the right reasons.

Warm Introduction

Both sides see each other's profile before committing. The newcomer expresses interest first; the leader sends a personal, editable invitation second. Never automated, never awkward.

Pastor Dashboard

Connection rate as the hero metric, with a 12-month trend line. A Formation Summary view you can screenshot for elder board meetings. Finally, a number that shows if your church is truly connecting.

Two Modes: Event & Always-On

Event Mode — run a focused group formation campaign 2–4 times a year, like a 4-Corners event. Always-On Mode — keep a permanent intake link open so new visitors can find a group any Sunday.

New Visitor On-Ramp

A permanent QR code for your connection card or welcome area. New visitors fill out the questionnaire in 5 minutes, no account needed, and get matched within 48 hours. The #1 reason visitors don't return — never forming a relationship — solved.

Group Profiles & Privacy

Groups control what they share publicly — photo, location (neighborhood only), ideal size, and a short description. Members see enough to decide if it's a fit before anyone commits.

One number that actually measures belonging

The connection rate — the percentage of your active members who are in a community group — is the metric that matters. Join Community tracks it with a 12-month trend line so you can see if your church is moving in the right direction.

  • Connection rate with trend line
  • Match queue with pending introductions
  • Formation Summary — shareable with elders
  • Group-by-group capacity and fill rate
