Ministry Groups in Connect

Sunergo Connect revolves around Ministry Groups and Subgroups. Ministry Group leaders have updated permissions to restrict and give access to various parts of the system.

Ministry Subgroup leaders also need to be Ministry Group leaders in the system. The Group Leader permissions are set in Sunergo Church Tools by the administrators.

Subgroup Posts #

Ministry Subgroup members can post messages on a subgroup exclusive thread. All messages can be replied to by other members. Messages and replies can be deleted by either a Subgroup leader or the one that posted the messages.

Subgroup Resources #

The existing Ministry Group Leader Resources feature in Church Tools has been extended to allow leaders to share resources with their members. These resources can be uploaded both from Sunergo Church Tools and Sunergo Connect by leaders with the correct permissions. Resources can be either files or external links and are shared throughout the whole Ministry Group.

Leaders have the option of restricting resources to only display for other leaders when creating a new resource.

If you are an existing Church Tools client the current Resource Groups will all be set to No for the new Is Public option. This default behaviour will avoid any sensitive files being shared unintentionally to new congregant accounts. Please set the desired Resource Groups to “Public” in Church Tools.

Subgroup Members #

Leaders can add a new member, take attendance, and send a mass email to the subgroup all under the Members Tab.

Subgroup Scheduling #

A new feature exclusive to Sunergo Connect is the ability for leaders to create and manage schedules for Ministry Subgroups. The scheduling feature will be available to those leaders with the necessary permissions.
