Where groups go to plan meetings, share prayer requests, discuss content, and more.
Groups are about discipleship and community, which require connection. But keeping your group connected can be complicated. Not anymore with the Groups feature in RightNow Media.
Stay connected all week, with your communications all in one place—where meetings, prayer requests, and Bible study conversations can be shared. Centralize all your groups’ communications and scheduling within the RightNow Media app.
Schedule your recurring group meetings, coordinate gathering details, and collect attendance all in one place.
Keep prayer requests, praise reports, and general group updates in one place.
Continue your group’s discussion about RightNow Media video content outside of regular meetings.
Free with RightNow Media
The Groups feature is included with your subscription at no additional cost. Account owners can set up Groups for their organization today.
In addition to content discussions and direct messages, group leaders can create public and private threads for different topics so conversations don’t get lost.
Groups can start chat threads about specific RightNow Media video content to continue their conversation throughout the week.
RightNow Media account owners can create new groups, and group leaders can add or remove members and manage group settings—all within their RightNow Media account.
Account owners can do this themselves or assign a group manager to to create groups and assign group leaders.
Once a group leader is assigned, they can add group members and begin to use Groups as their primary communication method.
Is there an additional cost to use the Groups feature in RightNow Media?
No—this feature is included with your existing RightNow Media subscription.
My groups already use a different third-party communication system. Will we still benefit from using Groups?
Absolutely! We created the Groups feature to address some of the shortcomings of other group communication systems. Groups includes topic-specific chat threads, video Bible study sharing, seamless member identification, and no group size limits—all within the RightNow Media app that your small groups already use!
How do I enable Groups for my church?
As of April 22, 2024, Groups is auto-enabled for all organizations. Check out our Quick Start Guide for more information!
I have a lot of small groups in my church. How can I set this up for my church if I don’t personally have time to set them all up in Groups?
We get it—that’s why you can assign a group manager to oversee the group setup process and group leader assignment. This is a great role for your small group or discipleship pastor to take on.
Who can create a group for my organization?
Only account owners and group managers (assigned by the account owner) can create, modify, and assign leaders to each group.
Once Groups is enabled, can anyone start creating groups and adding members?
No—only account owners and group managers (assigned by the account owner) can create, modify, and assign group leaders to each group. Group leaders can then invite group members to join. Group members can only participate in groups they’re invited to join.
Who can join a group in RightNow Media?
Anyone who’s invited can join a group in RightNow Media! Group leaders and existing group members can invite anyone to join a group, though the group leader must approve the invitation.
You can even invite non-RightNow Media users to join a group. They’ll receive an invitation to register for their free RightNow Media account, then automatically be part of the group they were invited to join.
Who can see my messages in Groups?
The only users who can see or receive messages in Groups are the group members in the thread. RightNow Media account owners, admins, and group managers cannot see the messages unless they have been invited to the thread.
What if I don’t want Groups for my organization?
Account owners can disable the Groups feature any time. Simply click here to go to your Account Settings page on a web browser, then select “Groups” in the left panel and toggle the Groups switch “off.”
