Sanctuary Notes · Circles

A place to pray and grow together.

Circles bring a small group together inside Sanctuary. Share a prayer request, a passage of Scripture or encouragement, and keep the group’s conversations and plans in one place.

Share with the right group

Open your Circle and choose New post. Select the kind of post you want to share, such as a prayer request or Scripture. Review your words and the selected Circle before you publish.

Pray and encourage one another

Members can respond to posts and share encouragement. For example, someone might ask for prayer before a difficult conversation; the group can pray with them and return to the request later.

Plan time together

Circles support shared plans and gatherings. Keep relevant details with the group so members can find the information they need when arranging time to meet.

Keep your personal journal personal

Circle posts are visible to Circle members. Your personal prayer and journal entries are separate. Decide what you want to share, and use the app’s Circle notification settings to choose how you stay informed.
