Group Finder Plugin for Rock RMS

Help people find where they belong faster

Preview in Rock Shop Explore Examples

In bigger communities, finding the right group can feel like looking for a needle in a haystack.

We built our Group Finder plugin to fill that gap for churches with a large number of groups, multiple campuses, or more complex discovery needs. That said, Rock's core Group Finder block is still the right choice for most churches. 

When to Choose the 9 Embers Group Finder

You likely need this plugin if:

  • You want people to search by keyword, not just filter by attributes.
  • You want to filter groups per page or data view.
  • You want a map that shows groups near an entered address.
  • You need control over where filters live and how they look.
  • You’re experiencing slow load times with a large number of groups.
  • You want group details displayed without navigating away from the page.

Our Group Finder Plugin is available now in the Rock Shop for $500. Installation requires a Rock restart, so plan to install during low-traffic hours.

Built for Scale

Behind the scenes, built-in caching keeps everything fast and responsive, so people aren’t slowed down while they search.

People can explore groups in a list, on a map, or both together. In areas with many nearby groups, the map stays clear and easy to understand, helping people focus without feeling crowded or confused.

When someone selects a group, the details open right on the same page. It keeps the process smooth and uninterrupted, so they can stay engaged as they look for where they belong.

Let's Talk about Custom Layouts

With so much design inspiration at your fingertips, it’s natural to want something that looks different while still working the same way. We can help customize our Group Finder plugin with custom layouts, filters, and styling to better reflect your ministry.

Projects typically start around 60 hours at $175/hour, but vary by scope.
