Groups vs. Teams — Two Features, Two Jobs, Zero Confusion

Groups and Teams are two of the most confused features in ChurchApps — and Terry Byrd from the ChurchApps support team joins Micheal to clear it up once and for all. Groups = organize and communicate with people (small groups, classes, ministries). Teams = schedule volunteers for specific services (under the Serving section). Two different tools, two different sections of the app — not interchangeable. Terry explains the most common mistake churches make: trying to use Groups to manage volunteer scheduling. And he walks through exactly how the same people can be in both — a Group for communication AND a Team for scheduling. **Try It This Week:** 1. Go to Groups — identify anything that's really about scheduling, not communication 2. Go to Serving → Teams — set up one Team for a rotating volunteer ministry 3. Build a simple service plan and send one schedule notification 4. Visit [support.churchapps.org](https://support.churchapps.org) for guides, or email [e-mail]
