It’s easy to find any Be Still prayer group if you know the approximate name of the group or any of its key attributes, such as location, church, or admin name. In general, you discover the name of a prayer group from the admin of that group, who creates the group and then publicizes its name to everyone who may be interested in joining it as a member. However, all Be Still users are free to search all prayer groups and to join or request to join any group that interests them, even if the users had not previously known about those groups.

To join a group:
1. In the list of search results, tap the name of the group that you wish to join. Be Still displays an information card for this group:
If the group name is grayed out and does nothing when tapped, then you are already the admin or a member of this group and you cannot join it again.
2. The bottom of the information card contains either a Join or a Request button. Use these buttons to join the group.
3. If the button says Join, then the admin allows any Be Still user to join this group immediately. Tap Join, and you will instantly become a member.
4. If the button says Request, then your must obtain approval from the admin to join this group. Tap Request, and Be Still will send a join request to the group admin.
When the admin approves your join request, you will receive an alert within Be Still informing you that you are now a member of this group:
If you attempt to join this group again before the admin has granted approval, Be Still will display Your request is pending on the information card and there will be no Request button.
If you don’t know the name of the group you wish you join, you can also perform an advanced search for a group by its other key attributes: location, church, admin name, or purpose.
