How to use prayer groups in Faithvine

Set up your group Leaders

For the group owner and admins.

1. 1

   Create your group

   Open Community, switch to Groups and tap +. Give the group a name your members will recognise, like "Tuesday Bible Study", and an optional description. You become the group owner.

2. 2

   Invite your members

   Open the group and tap Info & Members, then Share Code & Link. You get one invite in three forms: a link to paste into your church group chat, a code to read out loud, and a QR code to show on a screen. To invite someone who is already on Faithvine, tap Invite Friends and search for their name.

   

3. 3

   Approve who joins

   Everyone who uses the link, code or QR asks to join, and you approve each person. A forwarded link never lets a stranger in. When someone is waiting, the group shows a red dot: open Info & Members and tap Approve or Decline under Join Requests.

   

4. 4

   Add admins to share the load

   On Info & Members, tap ⋯ next to a member and choose Make admin. Admins can approve requests, remove members, edit the group and manage the invite code. Only the owner can add or remove admins.

5. 5

   Keep your invite safe

   In Share Code & Link, tap New code to choose when the code expires. The old link, code and QR stop working straight away. You can also Turn off link sharing whenever you like; current members are not affected.

💡Tip for Sunday: in Share Code & Link, tap Show QR code and hold up your phone, or use Save or share QR code to put it on a slide. The code sits right above it for anyone who can't scan.

Pray together Members

For everyone in the group, leaders included.

1. 6

   Join a group

   Tap the link your leader sent, or open Community → Groups → Join and type the 8-character code. New to Faithvine? Install the app and sign up, then tap the link again or type the code. Your leader approves the request, then the group appears in Community.

2. 7

   Share a prayer with the group

   Tap +, write your request and, under Share with, pick the group. You can choose your friends and several groups at once, so you never post the same request twice.

   

3. 8

   Encourage each other

   Open any prayer in the group and write a comment. Comments stay inside that group: if a prayer is shared with two groups, each group has its own conversation, and only the author sees both.

   

4. 9

   Mute a busy group

   Tap the 🔔 at the top of the group to stop its notifications. You still see everything in the app, and @mentions and join requests still reach you.
