Turbocharge Your Email, Instant Messaging for Your Church Groups

I recently received an email from John Payne, the CEO of a “social communications service that turbochares email and instant messaging” for groups called CircleUp.

According to John, they’re noticing church and youth groups using their free service.

Here’s what he said about it:

“CircleUp let’s leaders in youth and other church groups convert email and IM [instant messaging] from a one-way ‘blast’ communication tool to to a information and commitment gathering service that operates over email and IM.”

He said CircleUp allows users to:

  • Ask 50 people who can volunteer and get back a list of volunteers and times instead of 50 emails and IM’s.
  • Ask 25 people who can drive to a youth event in another town and get back a breakdown of drivers, who needs a ride (including a google map
    showing their houses) and how many people fit in their car instead of tons of emails and IM’s.
  • Ask who can contribute time or materials for a project and get back details of what they will give, where it can be picked up and what hours and days they will personally commit instead of a ton of emails and IM’s.

Check it out … and give us a review here in the comments.

Note on This Post: I don’t get any money from this post or if you sign up for the service mentioned. I am simply relaying a website worth checking out and seeing if it could help you and your ministry communicate more effectively.

    Wow - seems like a great little tool! I just signed up and created my first question. I don’t have any responses yet, but it will be interesting to see. The summary results page looks very promising!

    Thanks for the heads up!
