Chat Groups Overview

We invite Courage & EnCourage members to participate in our new online chat groups! Chat groups are a great way to remain connected with your brothers and sisters in Christ – you can share stories, anecdotes, prayer requests, ask questions, and most importantly support one another in living out the goals of Courage & Encourage.

There are two main chat groups one can join: Courage Online or EnCourage Online *

Each of the two main chat groups has public and private channels (IMPORTANT: “public” here refers specifically to all screened and approved members of the main chat group, not to the general public.) Once someone has already been approved and added to their main chat group, they may request participation in those private channels which they may also be eligible to join, within the chat group itself. Moderators will be on hand within each chat group, to screen and approve these additional requests.

These are the public and private channels currently within each main chat group; more may be added in time:

Courage Online:

Public channels:
• Courage Online – for general discussion
• Community Encouragement
• Prayer Intentions
• Technical Questions

Private channels:
• Ladies of Courage
• Courage Young Adults

EnCourage Online:

Public channels:
• EnCourage Online – for general discussion
• Community Encouragement
• Prayer Intentions
• Technical Questions

Private channels:
• EnCourage Spouses

* Registrants may also join a Courage & EnCourage Together chat group, provided they also sign up for either Courage Online or EnCourage Online.

It's great to stay connected!
