What is Student Faith Group Management?
Student faith group management is the practice of organising Christian university communities through shared events, prayer requests, Bible studies, and member directories. Campus Fellowship by MRVL is purpose-built for this: it connects students with campus ministry events, prayer boards, Bible study groups, and community announcements all in one app.
How It Works for Campus Faith Groups
Campus Fellowship is a student faith group management app that lets Christian unions, campus ministries, and student-led faith societies run their communities from one place. Instead of juggling multiple messaging apps, email chains, and spreadsheets, group leaders post events to a shared calendar, students RSVP, members share prayer requests on a dedicated board, and Bible study leaders create group pages. The member directory means students know who else is in their faith community. As of June 2026, the app supports UK and US university campuses where student-led faith groups often struggle with fragmented communication.
Core Features for Faith Community Organisation
The app includes a campus event calendar where students see prayer groups, Bible studies, and fellowship gatherings at a glance and RSVP instantly. A prayer request board lets members share prayer needs without public social media. Bible study group managers create dedicated spaces for study sessions, readings, and discussion. The member directory helps students connect with others in their faith community, and an announcement feed keeps everyone updated on society news. Students can also discover other faith groups on their campus, making it easier to find the community that fits them.
Who Uses Campus Fellowship
Campus Fellowship is designed for Christian university students, campus ministry leaders, chaplains, and student-led faith societies. It works for independent Christian unions, formal campus ministries running multiple groups, and youth groups connected to churches near campus. The app is free for student-led fellowships, meaning small groups run it at no cost. Larger campus ministries that manage multiple groups across a campus can access a premium tier for enhanced administration and cross-group coordination.
Why It's Different from Generic Church Apps
Unlike general church management platforms designed for parish congregations or large denominations, Campus Fellowship is built specifically for the university environment. Students move between groups, join multiple Bible studies, and change locations each semester. The app expects optional sign-in, sparse infrastructure, and student-led operations. It's not a Bible-reading app or denomination-specific tool. It's designed to solve the unique problem of scattered faith communication on campus, where a student might want to attend a prayer group on Tuesday, a Bible study on Thursday, and a fellowship meal on Friday, all within the same university.
Getting Started with Your Campus Community
If you're a student leader, you can set up Campus Fellowship for your faith group or campus ministry in minutes. Add your events to the calendar, invite members via QR code or link, set up prayer request and Bible study boards, and watch your community communicate better. Student members simply download the app, find their campus and group, and start seeing what's happening in their faith community. The app is free to start, so there's no cost barrier to launch. If your campus ministry runs multiple groups or needs advanced coordination features, contact the Campus Fellowship team about premium options.

Frequently asked questions
Is Campus Fellowship a church management app?
No. Campus Fellowship is specifically built for university students and campus faith groups, not general churches. It's designed for the unique rhythms of student life, where groups are often student-led and community changes each semester.
Can we use Campus Fellowship for a small student Bible study?
Yes. Campus Fellowship is free for student-led fellowships and Bible studies, so you can use it straight away without paying.
Does Campus Fellowship work across multiple campuses?
Each campus has its own community within the app. If your ministry operates at multiple UK or US universities, the premium tier allows you to manage groups across different campuses.
Do students need to sign in to join?
Campus Fellowship offers optional sign-in. New students can discover events and join without creating an account, making it easier for newcomers to engage with your community.
What if we want to add a Bible-reading plan to Campus Fellowship?
Campus Fellowship focuses on community management, not Bible reading. If you need a Bible-reading app with plans, check out BIBL, which pairs well with your campus community app.
Can we import members from another app?
Contact the Campus Fellowship team about setup and onboarding options when you sign up. They can advise on the best way to invite your existing community to the app.
