About

Be InterConnected

Read full description

Interconnected is the private community app for the women of Interconnected Ministries. It's where the conversation carries on between gatherings. Membership is by invitation. The ministry creates your account, so there is no public sign-up, and nothing here is visible outside the community. WHAT YOU CAN DO Keep up with everyone See the week's message from the ministry and what other members are sharing. Add a photo or a few words of your own, and reply to anyone. Talk to the people you know Message a friend one to one, or keep up with the circles you belong to in their own rooms. Know what's coming Browse the calendar of gatherings, open one to see the details, and say whether you'll be there. You'll see which of your friends are going too. Find other members Browse the directory and ask someone to be friends, so the women you met in person are easy to find again. Decide what people see Your photo, your surname, your state and the circles you're in are each a separate switch. Your street address is never shown to anyone. Choose what reaches your phone Turn on notifications for the things you care about and leave the rest in the app. YOUR SAFETY You can block another member at any time. You can report anything that doesn't belong, and a person on the team reads it. You can delete your account from inside the app — and it is genuinely deleted, not hidden. Need help?
