Kingdom Groups and a group text.

Most groups run on a group text, whether that is GroupMe, WhatsApp, or a thread on everyone's phone. It is good at conversation, and a lot of what a group needs gets lost in it.

Details about other products were checked in October 2026, from their own sites.

What a group text does well

It is free, everyone already has it, and it is where the conversation already happens. If your group only needs to talk, a group text may be all you need.

What gets lost in the thread

The study plan: which chapter is next, and what to read before the meeting.
Prayer requests, and the updates that follow them, scrolled away by Tuesday.
Who is coming this week, and who has not been around in a while.
The photos from the retreat, somewhere hundreds of messages up.

Kingdom Groups keeps the conversation and adds a place for each of those: a study that plans itself across your meetings, a prayer board, RSVPs and attendance, events, and a gallery.

What a group gets on Kingdom Groups

StudiesRun the curriculum or book you already use, or pick a book of the Bible and the sessions plan themselves, every chapter with an overview, discussion questions, takeaways, and key verses.
MeetingsRSVPs for each meeting and attendance in a tap, with guests remembered.
PrayerRequests, updates, and answered prayers, kept where the group can see them.
EventsGatherings with RSVPs, reminders, and spots left, so nobody chases a headcount.
ChatConversation with photos and reactions, plus a shared verse, a daily devotional link, and a daily study question.
GalleryThe group's photos and albums in one place.

Questions people ask

Do we have to stop using our group text?: No. A leader can turn off any part of the group's home, chat included, so a group that keeps its conversation elsewhere never sees what it does not use.
How much does it cost?: $10 a month per group, for the whole group, with every feature and unlimited members. The first 30 days are free with no card, and you can cancel anytime. A paused group's content is kept for at least 6 months, with two email reminders before anything is removed.
