Your church deserves better than Facebook and group texts.

A private app for prayer requests, directory, and groups — built for how your church actually works. No ads. No algorithm. Just your church family.

Free to try · No credit card needed

Sound Familiar?

You’re duct-taping together four apps and none of them were built for your church.

Prayer requests scattered across email chains, Facebook posts, paper cards, and group chats — half the congregation never sees them.
Your Facebook Group shows posts to maybe 12% of your members. The algorithm decides who stays connected, not you.
A private prayer request got shared outside the group. A member’s vulnerable moment became public. It shouldn’t have happened.
Half your church is on GroupMe, the other half is on Messenger, and your older members aren’t on either.
You’ve been asked for “an app for our church” but the quotes come back at $300–500 a month. Your church can’t justify that.
Built for This

One app that replaces your Facebook Group, your GroupMe, and your prayer chain email.

🙏

Prayer, Finally Done Right

A dedicated space for prayer requests with push notifications, privacy controls, and updates. When someone asks for prayer, everyone knows — instantly.

👥

Know Your Church Family

A real directory where members put names to faces. No more “I recognize you but I don’t know your name” after six months of attending.

💬

Groups That Make Sense

Small groups, ministries, committees, Bible studies — all visible, all in one place. No more separate GroupMe threads for every team.

🔒

Private by Design

No ads. No data selling. No algorithm deciding what members see. Church conversations stay with your church family. Period.

📧

Nobody Gets Left Behind

Email summaries for members who aren’t comfortable with apps. Your older members stay connected without downloading anything.

📋

Works With Planning Center

Import your directory straight from PCO. No re-entering 200 names. ChurchFam handles community — Planning Center handles everything else.

It’s About People

ChurchFam helps your members stay connected to each other — not just to the church.

Pray for one another

When a member shares a need, the whole church rallies. Push notifications mean nobody misses a chance to lift someone up.

Put names to faces

New families stop feeling invisible. The directory helps everyone learn who’s who — especially the people they see every Sunday but haven’t met yet.

Stay connected between Sundays

Church doesn’t end when the service does. The feed keeps your church family talking, sharing, and encouraging each other all week long.

Grow closer together

Small groups, Bible studies, and ministry teams have a home. Members discover groups they didn’t know existed and plug in on their own.

A church isn’t a building or a service time. It’s the people who show up for each other.

Plans start at $20/month for your whole church. Members always free. Free to try.

Why I’m Building This

I sit in the same pews you do. I’ve watched prayer requests get lost in Facebook threads. I’ve seen the GroupMe chaos when half the small group can’t find the right chat. I’ve watched our church try three different tools and none of them fit.

Churches deserve a tool that was actually built for them — not a social network trying to monetize your congregation, and not an enterprise platform that costs more than your worship budget.

ChurchFam is that tool. Simple. Private. Made for one another.
