A guide to current capabilities, including features from earlier releases. Access depends on your account and church permissions.
Posts and conversations
Public pages and search
Useful public pages have clear titles, stable links and current public details.
Browse church pages, published public events and public conversations. Follow their links to read the current source and its audience. Search engines refresh their own results on their own schedules.
Member profiles, private tools, drafts and search filters stay excluded from indexing. Prayers and posts with a content note need an author-supplied safe excerpt for search discovery. A search result never grants private access or verifies church authority.
Open Public pages and searchChoose new-post alerts
Turn on a private bell for future posts by a person or church.
Open their profile or church page, open the relationship choices and choose Notify me of new posts. Choose Activity and phone categories separately in Notification preferences. Turn the bell off at any time.
Verified adult accounts with current access. Follow, favorites and membership do not turn on the bell or phone alerts. Mutes, blocks and current source permissions still apply; enabling a bell does not deliver older posts.
Open Choose new-post alertsDiscovery and private feed settings
Read For You, Following, Your Church, Churches, Local, Public or Favorites using choices you control.
Choose a feed in Home or My feed, then open Feed Settings. Select exact topics, languages, traditions, post types or a broad area, and save a strict or explicitly expanded preset. Why this post explains the reading set. More/Less changes topic recommendations; hidden words and topics apply across all Home feeds. Refresh when you want a new set.
Guest choices stay on that browser. Account preferences and favorites stay private. Following uses current follows; Your Church requires an approved connection. Public and Local never include church-only posts. Recommendations use explicit choices, not inferred faith or reading time.
Open Discovery and private feed settingsOptional post discovery labels
Choose a language, tradition or broad locality for an individual post.
Open Optional discovery choices in the post editor. Leave labels unclassified or choose your own description. To publish a country or town, confirm that you want to share that locality. Changing the area asks for a new confirmation. Private drafts retain your entries; editing can clear the labels later.
Labels follow the post's existing audience and never change account beliefs, membership or permission to read. Locality uses a named town center, with no GPS or personal address. Public discovery requires an eligible public post.
Open Optional post discovery labelsTopic communities
Explore public communities around faith and everyday life, or create a topic with its own rules.
Open Topic communities from Home, Explore or Menu. Read freely. Join and accept the current rules to start a discussion or reply as yourself. Follow separately to add posts to Topics I follow. Owners manage rules, membership restrictions, accepted moderator offers and ownership handoffs from Manage this topic.
Anyone can read public topics. Creating, joining and contributing require a verified adult account. Topic authority stays within that community. Following does not turn on phone alerts. Archived or moderated topics and restricted content are unavailable to readers; public sharing always checks current access.
Open Topic communitiesPrayer and private follow-up
Acknowledge prayer, save a private reminder and follow author updates on posts, comments and replies.
Choose Pray, read the first-use guide, then choose I prayed after praying. Your name stays hidden unless you share it. Save privately and choose future author updates independently. Return from Menu > My private prayer list. Authors can publish an update or praise report in the same discussion.
Verified adult accounts with current source access. Prayer records do not measure faith or grant permissions. Phone alerts require a separate choice and enabled device. Undo removes the acknowledgment and name; removing a private save leaves the acknowledgment unchanged.
Open Prayer and private follow-upFollow a conversation
See new replies to a followed conversation in your Activity.
Open a post’s discussion and choose Follow conversation. Choose Default to return to direct replies and mentions, or Mute conversation to stop its Activity and phone alerts. Enable optional Replies in conversations you follow in Notification preferences.
Current account and source access are required. Following a person or church does not subscribe to every discussion. Phone alerts require a separate opt-in and an enabled device; later choices do not send old replies.
Open Follow a conversationPin a post to your profile
Feature one of your published personal posts at the top of your profile.
Open your post’s More options, then choose Pin to profile. Pin another post to replace it, or choose Unpin from profile to restore the normal order.
Your own published personal posts only. The original audience, source permissions, Likes and comments stay the same. A pin does not change Home or feed ranking.
Open Pin a post to your profileYour Activity
See grouped messages, contact requests, replies, mentions, saved-prayer updates and report updates in one personal view.
Open Activity from Menu or Messages. Choose a category, open an available item or mark a group read. Mark all read covers every category through the loaded page; later updates stay unread. Older activity keeps your place, and an unconfirmed read change offers the same retry.
Verified eligible adult accounts. Links and names require current source access. Optional notification choices and mutes still apply; Messages retains its own history and pending requests. Reading Activity cancels an optional phone alert that has not started delivery. Already delivered phone notifications remain under your device controls.
Open Your ActivityPrivate contact requests and Messages
Resume accepted adult conversations from a profile or the Messages tab, with private history and personal inbox controls.
Open a person's profile and choose Message. When contact operations are available, a new contact starts with a short request and explicit acceptance. Use Messages for prior history, Requests for decisions and Contact preferences to choose who may ask. Conversation options include mute, archive and clear for me; a message's More menu reports that selected item. Unconfirmed sends retain an exact retry.
Verified eligible adult personal accounts. New requests default to No one. New contact and sending require current reporting coverage; the interface explains when they are paused. Blocks stop new sends. Clear for me does not erase the other participant's history. Optional phone alerts have separate controls and do not grant contact permission. Attachments, groups, delivery/read receipts and email are unavailable.
Open Private contact requests and MessagesRepost and add your thoughts
Bring an eligible public post to your profile or add your own words above it.
Open Repost, then choose Repost or Add your thoughts. A plain repost keeps the original author and offers Undo. A quote opens a private draft in the shared composer. To allow others to repost your original post, open Edit post and enable reposting.
Verified adult accounts; the source must remain public and its author must allow reposts. Church destinations require current publishing permission. Source withdrawal or restricted access hides the original preview. Share sends a link; Bookmark saves privately.
Open Repost and add your thoughtsFounder welcome and replies
Read a clearly labeled welcome and choose whether to reply directly to Andrew.
When welcomes are active, finish account setup and verification, then open Messages. Reply to Andrew uses the same private conversation. Optional founder announcements have their own preference, separate from personal replies.
New eligible adult accounts only, once each after verification and required setup, while founder operations are available. No existing-account backfill is sent. Replying does not change ordinary contact preferences or create a friendship. Current blocks and account restrictions apply.
Open Founder welcome and repliesCommunity polls
Ask a question and choose one or several answers with readable vote totals.
Write and publish a post, then choose Add a poll from the composer. Set 2–8 choices and a closing time. Members can change their vote before closing; authorized post editors can close voting.
Verified adult accounts; church polls also require current church approval. Private drafts retain the post and reply permissions; poll setup happens after publication. Other members see totals, not your ballot.
Open Community pollsAdd and arrange post photos
Upload up to ten photos, arrange their order and add captions.
Open your post, then Manage photos. Choose files, save them and edit the gallery. Each file has its own progress and retry. Move photos earlier or later and save their order. In Settings, Reduce photo data loads one smaller post preview at a time.
The current post owner manages its photos. Church posts also require current publishing authority. Existing audiences and reply permissions apply. An interrupted save can be retried unchanged; conflicts keep your local edits for review.
Open Add and arrange post photosView photos
Open readable photos, move through a gallery and zoom in.
Tap a profile photo, cover or post photo. Use Previous and Next, swipe or arrow keys to move through a post's photos. Zoom in for detail, then Fit photo. Close, Escape or Back returns to your place.
Each photo keeps its current source audience. Member profiles require sign-in. Unavailable photos remain private; opening the viewer adds no access.
Open View photosShare a post
Share a thought, prayer, testimony, Scripture reference or link.
Open the community, choose a post type and audience, review who can reply, then publish. Under Content note and preview, you can add a note and choose a short safe excerpt. Edit these choices later with Edit post. Authorized church moderators can change discussion settings with a recorded reason; post managers can review recent moderation decisions.
Sign in to publish. Church publishing requires current authorization.
Open Share a postPrivate drafts
Save work and resume it in the shared composer.
Choose Share a post to open the editor. Save draft is at the top right; Post is at the bottom. Open Drafts to resume the same saved copy. Close or Back offers save, discard unsent changes or keep writing; resolve conflicts and uncertain retries before closing.
Only your account can read its drafts. Publishing rechecks current access and reply permissions.
Open Private draftsFeed choices and focused reading
Choose a community or discovery feed, then read in List or Pages.
Choose a feed in Home or My feed. Your account remembers that choice. Latest shows public posts; Friends shows accepted mutual friends; Top This Week counts Likes received in the last seven days; Trending gives more weight to recent Likes. Refresh posts updates the reading set. List, Pages and display settings stay separate.
Public posts are available to guests; private posts require access.

Scoped report review
Authorized reviewers can inspect selected reports, record reasons and apply scoped post or comment restrictions.
Open Your reports and the review link. Inspect the selected source, choose a decision and author explanation, then confirm its preview. Lost responses keep the same retry. Author reconsideration cases open in the assigned reviewer’s existing help inbox.
Explicit current report authority for both original and current source scopes. Hide, remove and restore preserve source audiences, reply choices and author withdrawal. Case status alone does not change content. Reconsideration uses the assigned reviewer, including the founder for founder-reviewed cases; it is not independent review. Account restrictions require their separate authority.
Open Scoped report reviewDecisions about your content
Read a private explanation and request reconsideration of a decision about your post or comment.
Open Your reports, then Decisions about your content, or follow its Activity update. Inspect the decision and your selected text. Review who will receive your request, explicitly agree, then send it. Continue replies in the linked help case.
Current eligible personal authors or publishers for the speaking church. Reporter identities and private review notes are excluded. Reconsideration is available only while the assigned reviewer has current authority. It does not automatically restore content or provide independent review.
Open Decisions about your contentPrivate reports and receipts
Check reporting availability from a post, comment, profile or church, and revisit your own private receipts.
Open More, choose Report, then select a reason and optional details. If reporting is available, send once and open your private receipt. A lost response offers Retry same report. Menu > Your reports lists your own submissions.
Verified adult accounts with current access to the item. New intake remains unavailable until reviewer operations are enabled for that scope. No report is submitted when intake is unavailable. Reporting does not automatically restrict content or accounts; church representation disputes use the existing claim review.
Open Private reports and receiptsSearchable settings
Find account, privacy, reading and church choices in clear folders.
Open Menu, then Settings. Search words such as password, alerts or hide phone, or choose a folder. Related personal settings link to existing privacy, directory, calendar and notification controls.

Signed-in account. Exports, deactivation and permanent deletion require current account confirmation. Permanent deletion explains immediate access loss, retained shared history and removal deadlines; its availability is shown before confirmation. Browser status does not grant church access or publish your location. General connected-app permissions are unavailable.

Church welcome and next steps
Find relevant ways to get to know a church and take your next step.
Open a church page for upcoming events, its published website and your available next steps. Optional profile and follow prompts disappear once completed; pending connection requests are acknowledged. Approved members can open ministries, teams and responsibilities.
Actions reflect current account and church access. Following grants no membership. Community listings still require legitimate representative review before management; published program content depends on that church’s records.
