For parish and ministry leaders
Keep your community gathering between Sundays.
Flock gives your parish, ministry or small group its own home: a place for news, prayer and conversation that leads people back to the church, the classroom and the table in person.
What leaders can do
Everything in one place, under Manage Community.
Owners and admins run their community from the app. You can share the work with other admins and moderators.
Announcements
Post news that matters and it is pinned as “Important” at the top of your community’s home, with earlier announcements a tap away.
Events
Create one-time or repeating events with a time, place and description.
- Members RSVP Going or Interested and get reminders
- Directions open in their maps app
- Optionally, only admins can create events
Groups
Create groups inside your community, such as young adults, a Bible study or a ministry team, each with its own conversation. Groups can be open or need approval to join.
Members and approvals
Choose who can join, and give the right people the right role.
- Open, request to join (you approve each person) or invite only
- Share an invite link
- Promote members to moderator or admin
Posting rules
Decide how your community posts.
- Members post freely, posts wait for approval in a queue, or only admins post
- Allow or turn off anonymous posts (text only)
Moderation and safety
Members can report posts, comments, profiles and events, and block accounts. A content filter stops clear profanity and slurs, and reports reach the Flock team.
How to request a community
Every community is reviewed before it goes live.
Communities are created by request, from inside the app. The Flock team reads each request before a community is approved.
-
Get Flock and create your account
Flock Faith is on the App Store for iPhone, in the United States, for members 18 and over. The Android app is coming soon.
-
Open the Flock tab and tap “Request a community”
You’ll find it at the bottom of the list of communities.
-
Tell us about your community and your role
About the community: its name and type (parish, ministry, young adult group, Bible study, campus ministry, Theology on Tap, Catholic organization or other), plus a city, description, website or social link if you like.
About you: your name, your role or title, your email and how you’re connected to the community.
Nothing is sent until you tap Submit Request, and an unfinished request is kept on your phone.
-
We review it, then your community goes live
Your request shows as “Under review” under Request a community, and you’ll be notified when it’s approved. Then you can set up your community, invite members and start posting.
