A FOCUSED COMMUNITY LAYER
Your church doesn’t need another management system.
Keep your website, giving, check-in, and planning tools. ChurchFam replaces the patchwork used for life between Sundays — Facebook Groups, GroupMe, prayer-chain emails, group texts, and out-of-date directories — with one private place built for your church family.

One simple home for prayer, people, and groups
Everything is shaped around one goal: helping your church family know and care for one another between Sundays.
A searchable member directory helps newcomers belong faster, with contact details each person chooses to share.
Ministries, small groups, and church-wide updates each have a clear, private home that people can find.
Announcements, events, and everyday updates in one private feed, with no ads and no algorithm.

A note from the founder
“I built ChurchFam because I saw a need in the church, and just couldn’t let it go.”
Existing apps help people connect to the church organization, but not to the true church: each other. ChurchFam is a tool to help us carry out the “one another” commands, without ads, without an algorithm, and with nothing engineered to keep you scrolling.

FAQ
Questions? We have answers.
Plans start at $20/mo for up to 100 members. Every plan includes every feature; the only difference is how many members join the app (members you add to the directory never count until they join). Choose annual billing and two months are free.
Never. ChurchFam is free for every member: no subscriptions, no in-app purchases, and no ads. The church’s subscription covers the whole congregation.
Yes. Every feature is included for 30 days, with nothing due today and no credit card needed to start. Add a card any time before the trial ends to keep going. If you don’t, nothing is charged.
They can join as email-only members. Prayer requests and announcements reach them by email, so they stay part of the church family without ever opening the app. For everyone else, the app is genuinely simpler than Facebook: a few tabs, large readable type, and nothing to configure.
No. ChurchFam is a community app, not church management software. It works alongside any existing management software like Planning Center and your website. Importing your directory from Planning Center is on the roadmap.
ChurchFam is invite-only with no public profiles. We never sell data and never run ads. Members control which contact details they share, and your church can export all of its data at any time.
Accounts are for adults 18 and older right now. Teen accounts are on the roadmap, with the safeguards a church would expect.
Not hard. It’s a migration, not an addition. Add members by invite, announce it on a Sunday, share your invite link, and seed the first few prayer requests. Our First-48-Hours launch playbook walks you through it so the switch actually sticks.
Add a card any time during the trial and your church moves onto the plan that matches how many members have joined the app, with nothing changing for members. If the trial ends before you add one, nothing is charged: your church stays readable for 14 days, then pauses. Your data is kept, and adding a card brings everything back.
Yes. ChurchFam runs on iPhone and Android, and leaders can manage the church from any browser.
Get it on the App Store or Google Play.
