Community Plus – Configuring and Expanding Your Connections to Your Church’s Members and Guests

There are now two versions of Faith Teams Community.  Community Free is included with every subscription to Faith Teams Church Management Software. Community Plus, a much broader and configurable version of Community is now an available upgrade.

Community Free is an online experience (designed for computers and mobile phones) located at your own Faith Teams location/URL.  From a Community site, congregants can:

  • See a church’s calendar’s public events
  • Find and join available groups at a church
  • Give and manage giving to a church
  • And for new guests, interact with a welcome form to introduce themselves to a church
  • Create an account allowing for giving management

Community Plus provides these and a good bit more. When a church upgrades to Plus, they gain the following features:

  • An online church directory with granular permissions around who can see the portal and controls for members allowing them to only show the information they want to be available
  • A configurable and expandable page allowing for:
    • The addition of videos (YouTube, Vimeo and Facebook)
    • Text and HTML with an easy to use yet powerful online editor
    • Images (JPG and PNG) with a URL link
    • Custom graphics for all Community modules

Community Plus is an upgrade to Community and is priced as follows:

$15 per month for up to 99 members
$25 per month for 100 to 499 members
$45 per month for 500 to 999 members
$75 per month for 1,000 to 1,999 members
$115 per month for 2,000 to 4,999 members
$165 per month for 5,000 or more members

Here are the features of Community and Community Plus side by side:

All in One Location

One location for your members and guests, Community was designed to be mobile responsive for an easy and clean interface on a phone. You can edit the graphics for each area and even toggle them off if not in use.  And Community uses your Faith Teams subdomain name to make it easier for your congregants to easily find your Community page.

With Community Plus, your page can become so much more.  You can add videos, linkable graphics, text and HTML making your making Community even more powerful.

Your Public Facing Calendar

Community looks only at those events that are not set as “private” and displays those to members and guests. With Community Plus, you can add graphics to those calendar items that then show through to the Community Portal.  And those graphics can be the stock photos provided by Faith Teams or your own.
