In today’s fast-paced world, effective communication is key to maintaining a connected and engaged church community. At Gloo, we understand the unique challenges church leaders face in trying to keep their congregation informed and involved. That's why our free texting platform offers a range of features designed to simplify and enhance your outreach efforts. One of the most powerful and versatile features we offer is the ability to create subaccounts.

What Are Subaccounts?

Subaccounts allow you to manage multiple ministries within your church from a single Gloo account. With one membership, you can create separate subaccounts for different ministries, each with its own unique phone number and contact list. This means your worship ministry, children’s ministry, church administration, and more can all have their dedicated channels for communication, making it easier to target messages and keep each group informed and engaged.

Why Use Subaccounts?

Organized Communication: By segmenting your communication through subaccounts, you can ensure that each message reaches the right audience without any overlap or confusion. Parents receive updates about children’s programs, worship team members get rehearsal reminders, and administrative updates go to those who need them most. Importantly, they will be able to respond to that specific subaccount, ensuring all your messages end up in a unique, inbox exclusive to that subaccount.

Efficiency and Time-Saving: Managing all your church’s communications from one platform streamlines your workflow. Instead of juggling multiple communication tools or manually sorting through contact lists, you can handle everything from your single Gloo account. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors.

Enhanced Engagement: Tailoring your messages to specific groups increases their relevance and impact. When church members receive information that’s directly applicable to them, they’re more likely to stay engaged and involved.

Professionalism and Consistency: Each ministry can maintain its unique identity while still being part of the larger church community. Different phone numbers and contact lists help maintain professionalism and ensure consistent, targeted messaging.

How to Set Up Subaccounts on Gloo

Setting up subaccounts on Gloo is straightforward and user-friendly. Here’s a step-by-step guide to get you started:

Log In to Your Gloo Account: Begin by logging into your main Gloo account. If you don’t have an account yet, signing up is quick and easy.

Navigate to the Subaccounts Section: Once logged in, go to the settings section of your account, where you’ll find the option for subaccounts.

Create a New Subaccount: Click on the 'Add Subaccount’ button and fill in the new sub-account name. That sub-account will be added to your menu, and you can text and receive texts from a unique, dedicated number once your new subaccount number is verified.

Customize and Manage: Tailor each sub-account to fit the specific needs of the ministry it serves. You can send broadcasts, automate series, and manage responses all from within each subaccount.

Real-Life Applications

Imagine being able to send a quick text to your worship team about an upcoming rehearsal while simultaneously updating parents about a change in the children’s ministry schedule. With subaccounts, this level of detailed, targeted communication becomes simple and efficient.

Gloo’s subaccount capability is a game-changer for church leaders looking to enhance their communication strategy. Whether you’re already a Gloo user or considering joining, subaccounts provide a seamless, organized, and effective way to manage multiple ministries under one umbrella. By leveraging this feature, you can ensure that every message is timely, relevant, and reaches the right audience, keeping your congregation connected and engaged.
