Think Twitter, but private.
Think tool, not toy.
That’s what GroupMe can be for your ministry team.
GroupMe lets you effortlessly group text with the people in your life that are important to you. It’s your real-life network, in your pocket. It’s totally free and works on every phone.
Every phone!
But, the GroupMe website talks about iPhone, Android and Blackberry apps?
That just makes it cooler for smartphone users!
A huge part of GroupMe’s success depends on the fact that it doesn’t require an app at all, or even a phone capable of running apps. All you need is a phone capable of sending text messages.
So all a ministry team member needs is a regular cell phone – FTW!
This tool could really streamline communication among your team.
Here are some possible Kid Ministry uses by Sam Luce:
Reminder texts – send reminder texts to teams serving on a certain sunday
Parent update texts – Send a text with info parents need to get. With the conversation style updates many parents may have their questions answered by questions others ask.
Camp updates – Great for keeping parents in the loop when you are away at camp
Keep event chaperons on the same page – You are at an amusement park and you want all your aldult workers to know you have changed the location of a meet up or a kid goes missing.
Project management – You are working on a project sometimes having group texting or conference calling would be a huge help.
Boss alarm system – keep your co-workers in the loop when your boss leaves or returns from lunch, or update everyone on his or her mood.
The uses for this little tool are endless with the text feature, conference call feature and being free you can’t go wrong. Set up your account today.
