Built for 100% of the congregation.
ChurchPlan is the Church Operating System — giving, events, people, liturgies, calendar and communications, unified in a native app your congregation actually opens and an admin your office actually enjoys.
Church apps were built for the office. We built for the church.
Walk through the app store and look at church software. Branded church apps are old and outdated — built years ago, barely maintained, ignored by the youth, and designed for administrators, not the people in the pews. The rest of the market offers the office a database and hands the congregation a payment form. Either way, the church's most important audience — its own people — was never the user.
ChurchPlan started from a different philosophy: the church should control its window to the outside world. One place where a member gives, a family registers, a teenager checks what's on this weekend, and a visitor meets the parish for the first time — owned and shaped by the church itself, not scattered across whatever tools happened to be free that year. An app made for 100% of the congregation, not the 2% who work in the office.
We're a team of engineers from Apple, Google and Shopify who believed a church deserves the same quality of software as a bank or an airline. So we built the whole thing: the ChurchPlan app every member carries, and the admin portal that runs the parish behind it — one system, with the congregation at the center.
Today, parishes across North America run their Sundays on ChurchPlan — and thousands of members open the ChurchPlan app every week to give, register their families, and pray together live.
More than two decades of engineering — brought to the church.
ChurchPlan’s parent company was established in 2001, with an engineering portfolio spanning some of the most demanding industries there are — projects where precision, security, reliability and the ability to connect many moving parts into one dependable system were never optional.
That same discipline became the foundation of ChurchPlan. We did not approach church technology as a collection of disconnected features — we approached it as a complete operating environment, where donations, tax receipts, events, ministries, attendance, communications, calendars and member records work together as one unified system.
Churches run on five tools that were never designed to meet. We built one.
One platform manages donations. Another handles events. Spreadsheets track members and attendance. Announcements live on social media, while separate tools juggle children’s programs, volunteer schedules, calendars and tax receipts. The result is duplicated work, fragmented information, inconsistent communication — and a digital experience most members never open.
ChurchPlan brings the whole community into one modern, mobile-first platform. Because every tool shares the same system, information flows naturally between them — no re-typing data, no reconciling separate systems, no correcting inconsistencies. One single source of truth for the church.
Funded by subscriptions — never by the congregation
No per-member fees. No donor tipping. No service or per-ticket fees on events. The price you see is what your church pays, and the amount your member gives is what your ministry receives. The only fee is your own card processing — never marked up to fund a tech company's other clients.
No added ChurchPlan fees — standard card processing by Stripe applies, kept low through volume-negotiated rates.
The congregation is the user
Most church software is admin software. Ours starts in the pew: a native app where members give, book the trip, watch the liturgy live, and keep their own records current — so the office types nothing.
Compliance is a feature, not a footnote
CRA, IRS, ATO and NZ IRD receipting. PIPEDA, GDPR, CCPA and the Australian & New Zealand Privacy Acts. Built for churches that answer to regulators in three continents — so yours doesn't have to think about it.
We're building an ethical company. Churches and congregations deserve respect — their generosity funds their mission, never a tech company's other clients.
Every admin feature ends in a member experience.
Most church-management systems are built for the office. ChurchPlan is designed around the relationship between the church and its people.
→ Members discover it, register, pay and receive a digital ticket.
→ The congregation receives it instantly, right in the app.
→ The gift is recorded and the receipt delivered — no extra administrative work.
→ Families access it where the rest of church life already lives.
Technology should support ministry — not replace it. Removing administrative friction means leaders and ministry teams spend more time serving people, participation rises, and younger generations engage through technology that already feels familiar.
To give every church modern, secure, beautifully designed technology — simplifying administration, strengthening engagement, and keeping the church connected throughout the week.
Whether you run one congregation or many across a diocese, district or organization, ChurchPlan is designed to grow with you. It is more than church-management software — it is the operating system for the modern church.
Privacy, security, auditability and consent are built into the platform’s design — not added on. Read more in Security & Infrastructure and Privacy & Trust.
