What Is an Announcement Feed
An announcement feed is a messaging space where groups post news, event updates, and information that all members see in one place. Campus Fellowship includes an announcement feed feature built into its platform for Christian student societies on campus.
How Announcement Feeds Work
An announcement feed functions as a central noticeboard for a group or community. Instead of sending messages individually or through email chains, group leaders post once to the feed and every member sees it. Members typically cannot post themselves unless given permission. This keeps information organised, searchable, and accessible to anyone who needs to catch up. Common uses include event details, schedule changes, prayer requests, or group news. The feed works best when updated regularly but not constantly, so members check it without feeling overwhelmed.
Announcement Feeds in Campus Fellowship
Campus Fellowship's announcement feed is designed for Christian student societies, prayer groups, and Bible study teams on your campus. Society leaders can post updates about upcoming events, Bible study schedules, prayer meeting times, or community news. Members see these announcements alongside the campus event calendar, prayer request board, and Bible study group manager. The feed integrates naturally into the app so students don't need separate accounts or logins for different communication channels. As of June 2026, the app is live on iOS and Android for UK and US university Christian Unions and campus ministries.
Why Campus Groups Use Announcement Feeds
Student-led faith societies often struggle with keeping everyone informed. Email gets lost. Group chats grow chaotic. Announcement feeds solve this by creating one source of truth. Members open the app, see what's happening this week, and don't miss prayer meetings or Bible studies. Leaders save time sending duplicate messages. The feed also works for groups without mandatory sign-in, so new students can see what's coming without creating an account first. This lowers friction for discovery on your campus.
Campus Fellowship vs Generic Church Apps
General church-management platforms treat announcement feeds as one feature among many for large congregations. Campus Fellowship builds its announcement feed specifically for how university students actually communicate. The app connects announcements to a campus event calendar, member directory, and prayer request board all in one place. Cross-society discovery means students can find multiple Christian groups on their campus and choose which ones to follow. It's free for student-led groups, so there's no barrier to adoption. Larger campus ministries running multiple groups can upgrade to the premium tier.
Getting Started with Announcements
If you run a Christian society or campus ministry and want to set up an announcement feed, Campus Fellowship handles the setup without technical jargon. Student leaders can invite their group, assign permissions, and start posting. Members join through a shareable link or by searching your campus and society name. The app also offers a member directory so people can learn who's in your community, a Bible study group manager to track study sessions, and an event calendar where you post everything you're doing. Sign-in is optional, so curious students can explore before committing.

Frequently asked questions
Can members post to the announcement feed themselves?
No. Announcement feeds are leader-controlled. Only group leaders or those with posting permission can add announcements. This keeps the feed focused and prevents spam or off-topic messages.
Do you need to sign up to see announcements?
No. Campus Fellowship allows optional sign-in, so students can browse announcements, events, and groups on their campus without creating an account first. Sign-up is free for student-led societies.
How is Campus Fellowship different from a generic church app?
Campus Fellowship is purpose-built for university students and campus ministries. It combines announcements with a campus event calendar, prayer request board, Bible study manager, member directory, and cross-campus group discovery all in one place.
What other features come with the announcement feed?
Campus Fellowship includes an event calendar with RSVP, prayer request board, Bible study group manager, member directory, and the ability to discover other Christian societies on your campus in the same app.
Is Campus Fellowship free for student groups?
Yes. Student-led fellowships use Campus Fellowship free. Larger campus ministries running multiple groups can upgrade to a premium tier for additional features and support.
