Small group software for churches

Community groups, life groups, mentoring pairs and short courses, all in one place: the study, the leaders-only guides, the meetings and the conversation in between.

• Leader guides for small group leaders — Give every small group leader a leaders-only guide for each meeting: prep, a run of show and discussion prompts, kept apart from what members see. Assign sections, highlight what you will cover, and print it.
• Group messaging for church small groups — One conversation per small group, alongside the study: messages, prayer requests, photos, polls, sign-ups and RSVPs, with reminders and read receipts. No more texts, GroupMe threads and email chains.
• Small group curriculum and study builder — Write your small group curriculum once and every new group gets its own copy, with units, topics, leader guides and homework. Start from a template, tag studies for the kinds of group they suit, and resync improvements.
• Small group attendance and care tracking — Track small group attendance, homework and engagement in one view. People who have missed two meetings or gone quiet surface with the reason, and you can call, text or email them from the same line.
• Small group meeting schedules and calendar sync — Set a small group’s whole meeting schedule from a day and a time, weekly, every other week or monthly. Members subscribe once and every meeting appears in Apple, Google or Outlook calendars, with reminders the day before.
• Planning Center Groups integration — Bring small groups across from Planning Center Groups, filtered by your own tags, or send a Synodo group the other way. People are matched on any email address, so nobody ends up in either system twice.
• Discipleship and mentoring software for churches — Run discipleship and mentoring at church: growth-partner pairings, nominations, leader applications, matching mentees with co-mentors, and generating the whole meeting schedule.
• A small group app for phones, tablets and computers — Synodo works in the browser on a computer, a tablet and a phone. Members install it to their home screen on iPhone or Android and get push notifications, with nothing to download from an app store.
