Requesting to Join a Group

Some groups require approval before you can become a member. When a group has this setting, you submit a join request — optionally including a message to the group leader — and wait for the leader to approve or decline. You can view the status of your pending requests and cancel them at any time.

Before You Begin

  • You must be logged in to your B1.church account to request to join a group.

Joining vs. Requesting to Join​

Groups can have different join policies set by their administrators:

  • Open -- Click Join Group on the group's detail page and you are immediately added as a member.
  • Request required -- Click Request to Join to submit a request that a group leader must approve before you become a member.
  • Closed -- No join button appears. Members must be added manually by leaders.

How to Submit a Join Request​

  1. Browse to the group you want to join. See Browsing Groups if you need help finding it.
  2. Open the group's detail page.
  3. Click Request to Join.
  4. A dialog appears where you can optionally write a message to the group leader explaining why you would like to join.
  5. Click Submit to send your request.

The group's leaders will receive a notification about your request. Once they review it, you will receive a notification with the outcome.

Including a brief message — such as how you heard about the group or what you hope to get out of it — can help the leader make a faster decision.

Checking the Status of Your Requests​

After submitting a request, you can view its status from the Groups page:

  1. Navigate to the Groups page on your church's B1.church site.
  2. Scroll down to the Pending Requests section.
  3. Each pending request shows the group name and the date you submitted it.

If a request has been approved or declined, you will receive a notification — approved requests move you into the group as a member.

Cancelling a Request​

If you change your mind before a leader reviews your request:

  1. Go to the Groups page.
  2. Find your request in the Pending Requests section.
  3. Click Cancel next to the request.

The request is immediately withdrawn and the leader will no longer see it.
