Who it’s for
CommonYard for churches, mosques and faith groups
A faith yard gives your church, mosque or fellowship a devotional, a prayer wall, the week’s service times, announcements, events with reminders and a chat room. Free.
A faith yard is a yard made for a church, a mosque, a fellowship or any faith group. It has everything every yard has — its own posts, chat, events and the people who run it — and three things only faith yards have, behind the FAITH door on the bar inside the yard.
Only in a faith yard
- The devotional — the yard’s word for the day.
- The prayer wall — the yard’s prayer requests in one place, and a way to ask for prayer.
- This week — when the services and meetings are.
For the people who lead
- The notice sits at the top of the yard for everyone to see. Change it any time.
- Announce to the yard sends one post to every member, once a day.
- Events with what, where and when. Members say they’re coming, and they get a reminder an hour before it starts.
- Admins and mods to share the work, and the tools to take down a post that doesn’t belong.
For everyone in the yard
- A chat room with words, photos, videos and voice notes.
- Polls with a closing time — for a date, a choice of songs, a vote on the outing.
- Posts that stay in the yard: a post made in a yard stays there. Make the yard private and only its members can read it.
Who gets in
Let in anyone with the link, only the people an admin approves, or nobody new for now. When someone asks to join, admins get a notification.
