CoreGroup sign up season is an exciting time! New people are signing up for our groups and we get to welcome them. So, how do you know if someone has signed up for your group? And what do you do once you receive that information?
I'm so glad you asked!
We use a system called Church Community Builder (CCB) to manage our groups. When someone signs up for your group you will receive an email from CCB (logistics around using CCB to follow).
Once you receive a new member sign up you should send a welcome email within 3 days. This email is a good place to introduce yourself, share the address or Zoom link for your meeting, and share any other helpful tidbits.
How do I log in?
Your username is your email address. If you have never logged in, forgotten your password, or changed your email address request access here: https://gatheringnow.ccbchurch.com/goto/signup
How do I find my group?
Upon logging in, every group you are a member of will be listed on the right side of the screen.
