# Member Connections brings campuses, ministries, and groups together

> Members can manage church connections, discover community groups, and use privacy-safe directory filters.

Member Connections is now available across mobile, web, and the Member Directory.

Members can:

* Review active and pending campus, ministry, and Community Group connections.
* Request campus or ministry connections and choose directory visibility.
* Browse Community Groups and join open groups or request approval.
* Leave connections that are no longer current.
* Filter the Member Directory by campus, ministry, Community Group, and general
  location.

Staff can:

* Assign member connections and choose roles or a primary campus.
* Approve or decline connection requests.
* Configure campus and ministry approval rules.
* Create, edit, activate, and archive Community Groups.
* Publish announcements and study guides, review discussion activity, record
  attendance, and maintain leader-only notes.

Members can participate in group discussions and read shared study guides after
joining a group.

Community Groups are separate from admin Permission Groups. Directory results
use only active, approved connections that members have chosen to show, and
location filtering never exposes a private street address.
