Then go to **Communicate \> Text \> Settings** and click the button to +Add a Link.  You will be able to add a Text-to-Church keyword and opt to include this page in the Event section of the Member App. ![Screenshot 2026-04-21 164758](https://help.churchteams.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-04-21%20164758.png?width=474&height=236&name=Screenshot%202026-04-21%20164758.png) If you choose to use a landing or web page for the event in the App, be sure to leave the registration start date blank in the registration settings for the event so that it doesn't show up in the App by default.   Adding a registration end date, however, will still close registration if people access it on the landing or web page.  - **Groups** Leaders can access their groups from the Member App, where they can complete meeting/attendance reports and access volunteer schedules.  Optionally, if set up within each individual group, members of groups will be able to see the groups that they are in (but not the roster for the group).  To enable this option, for current groups, go to the group and click **Edit \> Group information**.   Check the option as indicated in the image below. ![Screenshot 2026-04-21 164907](https://help.churchteams.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-04-21%20164907.png?width=496&height=240&name=Screenshot%202026-04-21%20164907.png) - **Resources**  Resources can be a link to anything (live stream, message archives, website, Bible, etc.).   They correspond to the Links section for Text-to-Church, where a keyword can be assigned.  If there's a link you want to add to this section of the Member App, copy the link.  Go to **Communicate \> Text \> Settings** and click the button to +Add a Link.  Then, select the option to include it in the Resources section. ![Screenshot 2026-04-21 165109](https://help.churchteams.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-04-21%20165109.png?width=459&height=437&name=Screenshot%202026-04-21%20165109.png) - **Directory**  The directory will be included in the Resources section of the Member App based on the settings you selected under **Settings \> Accessibility,** under the Directory/Member Access section. If this is disabled, there will be no directory.  All other settings for the directory, like "Church Member Type," will be honored.  For example, if you've set it so that only regular attenders and members have access, guests and any other church member types will not have access.
