Appear in the public group finder

The Member App has no group search or group list: in My Community (/app/groups) each member only sees the groups they belong to. So that guests and members can find a cell, the church shares its public group finder.

TL;DR

There is nothing to publish and no visibility to change. The public finder (app.ministrium.com/c/<slug>/groups) shows the church’s cell groups that have an address that can be placed on the map.

Steps

1. Open the group’s record and confirm it is a cell group and has a complete address.
2. Open app.ministrium.com/c/<slug>/groups in a private window, with your church’s slug.
3. Confirm the group appears on the map and in the list of available groups. If it does not, check the group’s address.
4. Share the finder link on your website or social media.

What the guest sees

• The title “Find a … near you”, with the name your church uses for cells (Life Group by default).
• A map with each group’s approximate location, not the exact address, and a list of available groups.
• The I want to visit button, which opens a short form to contact the leader: name, email, and phone.

When the guest submits the form:

• the church receives the details as a new prospect in the CRM;
• the group leader and the pastoral team are notified;
• the guest sees a thank-you message.

This request does not create an account in Ministrium.
