Who it’s for
Built for every kind of faith community
Whether your group meets weekly in someone’s living room or spans multiple congregations, Degree1 keeps it private, organized, and distraction-free.
✝️
Church Small Groups
Midweek groups, care groups, and life groups that want a dedicated private space beyond Sunday morning.

Share reflections, coordinate meeting times, and stay connected between sessions in a focused, private feed.
🕍

🕌
Any Faith Tradition
Degree1 is designed for any close-knit community. If your group has a shared sense of trust, it has a home here.
Features
What your small group actually needs
No complicated platform to learn. Just the tools that matter most for a group of people who know each other.
📰
Private Group Feed
A shared feed for prayer requests, announcements, reflections, and updates. Everything stays within your group — nothing is public, searchable, or visible to outsiders.
📅
Meetings & Events
Schedule weekly gatherings, special studies, or service events. Members RSVP directly in the app, so the leader always knows who’s planning to attend.
🎩
Group Giving & Contributions
Coordinate group gifts, benevolence contributions, or shared expenses through Pass the Hat — without an awkward side conversation about money.
💬
Direct Messages
Members can send private one-on-one messages to each other — helpful for following up on prayer requests or checking in with someone personally.
Why not a Facebook group or group text?
Faith communities deserve a space that matches the trust and intentionality of the group itself. A Facebook group puts your members’ posts and prayer requests inside a platform built on advertising — one that may use your group’s activity to infer interests and target ads. A group text works for quick logistics but has no structure, no event management, and no way to build a shared record of what your group has discussed or planned.
Degree1 is fully private and invitation-only by design. Your group leader controls exactly who receives an invitation. There are no ads, no public profiles, and no algorithm deciding what your members see. The group feed is chronological — everything posted appears in order, and every member sees it. It’s a tool built for trust, not for reach.
How it works
Simple to set up, easy for everyone to use
