Gloo's subaccounts feature has revolutionized how church leaders communicate with their congregations, providing flexibility and precision in messaging. But how are real church leaders actually using this feature? Here are four popular ways church leaders are leveraging sub-accounts to enhance their outreach and engagement efforts.

One of the most common uses of subaccounts is to create dedicated accounts for different ministries within the church. This approach allows for focused and relevant communication, tailored to the specific needs of each ministry.

For example, a subaccount for the children’s ministry can handle all communications related to children’s events, Sunday school updates, and volunteer coordination. Similarly, a separate subaccount for worship can deliver specific and targeted resources to the audiences that want to participate.

This segmentation not only keeps the communication organized but also helps recipients easily identify the source of the message based on the phone number or account sending it. It enhances the relevance and effectiveness of the communication, as each ministry can further segment their audience to ensure even more targeted messaging.

For churches with multiple campuses, sub-accounts provide a perfect solution for managing location-based communications. Each campus can have its own subaccount, making it simpler to address the unique needs and interests of each congregation.

For instance, a church with campuses on the east and west sides of town can create distinct subaccounts for each location. This way, east side congregants receive messages pertinent to their campus activities, events, and updates, while west side members receive communications relevant to them. This targeted approach ensures clarity and prevents confusion, as messages are always specific to the recipient’s location.

Pastoral care and personal counseling are crucial aspects of church ministry. Subaccounts provide a practical way for pastors to maintain personal communication channels separate from general church announcements.

With a dedicated personal message account, pastors can engage in one-on-one counseling and sensitive conversations without the risk of these personal messages being mixed with general announcements or event invites. This separation ensures that personal, private conversations remain confidential and uninterrupted, fostering trust and effective pastoral care.

For instance, while the church may need to send out a mass message about an upcoming event, pastors can continue their private counseling sessions through a different dedicated subaccount. This way, the integrity and privacy of personal interactions are preserved.

Managing church events can be a complex task, requiring timely and clear communication. Some churches have found it beneficial to create a dedicated sub-account solely for events. This approach streamlines all event-related communications, making it easier for members to stay informed about upcoming activities.

A dedicated events sub-account can handle invitations, updates, reminders, and post-event follow-ups. By centralizing all event communication in one channel, churches can ensure that important information reaches the right audience promptly and effectively. This focus helps avoid information overload and keeps members engaged and excited about church events.

Gloo's subaccounts feature offers church leaders a versatile and efficient tool for managing diverse communication needs. By creating subaccounts for specific ministries, campuses, personal pastoral care, and events, churches can enhance the relevance, clarity, and impact of their messages. This tailored approach not only improves engagement but also fosters a more connected and involved church community.
