Create an Email Campaign

Email campaigns are helpful for communicating with your congregants without giving out your personal email address.

  • You must be a Growth Method administrator or a Campaign Admin or Worker to do this.
  • We recommend that you set up an email domain before doing this.
Create an email campaign to contact your entire congregation or just a segment of your congregants. For example, let your entire congregation know that you're having a Christmas toy drive, or send an invitation to the next women's ministry to all the contacts in your women's ministry track in Growth Method. While you can contact your entire congregation, you can also email a smaller segment of members. That way, you can tailor your email to a specific group of people, ensuring your message gets to the right people without bombarding all your members with too many emails.
