How to Use Beliefnet Community: Your Small Group

Tuesday August 7, 2007

Your existing group can have its own, easy-to-use site to enrich your group experience, for free.

After you've created your own individual profile, select "Create a Group" at the end of the process or by navigating to our Groups page. Create a group profile, with your preferred design, web address, privacy settings and more. Don't forget to invite the members of your small group to join!

With Beliefnet's small groups tool, you can:

Make arrangements easier

  • Who’s coming? Who’s bringing dessert? Can we change the meeting to 7:30?

  • Use the calendar and invitation tool. Change the time and everyone group member notified automatically.
