Groups

Shared interests have a home in groups.

Empower members to engage: Any member can create a community group and invite other members to join. Church admins can create groups for church activies and discussions.

  • Engage and discuss

    Members get together in their chosen community and church groups.

  • Share

    Members can add photos, videos, or other files with each other.

  • Privacy controls

    Some groups need to be private. That’s why you can create three types of groups: public, private, and hidden.

  • Invite members

    Easily invite any other church member to a group to join the conversation.

Built for Churches

Everything you need for your daily church tasks

Events

Organise events and let your congregation know.

Create an event in Choyr and members can say they’ll be there with one click. There’s no need to manually record who’s attending your upcoming events.

Events can be recurring, and attendees will receive a reminder notification when the event is approaching.

Media & Sermons

Share photos, videos, and sermons.

We know how important photos and videos are to a community, so with Choyr you can create albums to store as much media content as you like.

Members will be able to access your media content and sermons at any time or place, and will see each new post automatically.

Volunteering

Manage your volunteering requirements.

Create volunteering opportunities and add information about the specific roles you need to be filled. Members can then volunteer to take part and choose which role they want to take.

Church admins can add members manually, which is useful for rota planning and management.

Volunteers will automatically receive a reminder notification close to the time of the volunteering event.

News

Keep members up-to-date with church news.

Create news articles to keep your members informed about your church. It’s like having your own blog, but it’s easy to use and there’s no additional hassle.

News articles can include photos and links. Choyr even provides hundreds of free photos for you to use if you need some inspiration.

Advice

Offer your members advice on specific topics.

Your church can provide great advice, often on sensitive topics. Any member can be a topic’s advisor, so other members can contact them for further, personalised help.

When messaging an advisor, a member can choose to remain anonymous so the advisor doesn’t know who they are, reducing the barrier for them to seek help.

What are the other ways that Choyr can help your church?

  • Community Statistics
    Keep informed about your congregation, user activity, engagement, donations, and more, in an easy to use dashboard.
  • User Profiles
    Every member receives their own profile, allowing them to add information about themselves.
  • Members List
    Member information is kept in sync in the dashboard, so you’ll always have the latest contact details.
  • Privacy
    Any individual member’s information is kept private and is not shared with any third parties.
