One app for your church. With a window to the world.
Every church on ChurchPlan gets its own custom download link. Members open one app and land straight in your church — your name, your content, your community. And unlike the branded apps of the last decade, it doesn’t end at your walls: it’s an extension to the outside world, totally controlled by the church.
One download link per church — share it once, and every member lands in the right place.
Every detail a member shares should give them something back.
Too many church apps are a one-way deal. The office asks the congregation for names, birthdays, addresses and family details. Members hand them over, trusting the app will become the centre of church life — and a year later it has given them no reason to open it. ChurchPlan is built the other way round.
The same year, side by side
Takes the details. Gives nothing back.
appEvery detail switches something on.
What a member shares — and what it switches on.
Nothing on this list is collected just to fill a database. Each detail a member gives turns on something they use on an ordinary Sunday, which is why a congregation keeps its own records current without being chased.

Rated by the congregation members who open it every week — not by the office that chose it.
“This is the first church app our congregation actually uses! The modern, familiar experience — similar to the social apps people already use every day — makes it easy and enjoyable to stay connected.”
“Parents can register their children, provide consent, access the curriculum, track their progress, and stay informed about classes and events — all from the app.”
Before a church asks its congregation for their details, it should know what they get back. With ChurchPlan, the answer fits on this page.
One link, straight to your church
You don’t send your congregation to search an app store and hope they pick the right thing. Every church gets a custom link and QR code — in the bulletin, on the website, from the pulpit.
Your church’s own link. Members who open it download the app already connected to your church — no searching, no setup.
Send one link to everyone
Bulletin, website, family group chat, or a QR code on the door — a single link enrolls your whole congregation into your church’s app.
They land in your church
No picking from a list, no wrong parish. The app opens on your church — your liturgies, your events, your announcements, your giving.
Always the latest app
One continuously improved app serves every church. Yours never goes stale waiting for a rebuild or a re-approval in the app stores.
A window to the world — and the church holds the handle.
Legacy branded church apps are walled gardens: beautiful on the inside, invisible from the street. Only the parish can enter — so the parish is all they ever reach.
Our philosophy is different. ChurchPlan has a window to the outside — fully controlled by the church. Publish the summer festival to everyone nearby and let guests discover, book and give. Keep the liturgy schedule, the directory and Grade 5 strictly members-only. Open or closed isn’t a platform decision; it’s the church’s decision, made item by item.
A wall around the parish
Members locked in · outside gifts turned away
- ✕ Closed to registered members only
- ✕ Events invisible to the neighbourhood
- ✕ A visitor can’t discover, book, or give
- ✕ A neighbour moved to give has no way in
- ✕ Growth stops at the walls

You set the audience for every event
Every event has an audience dial. Open it to the wider community, share it across your diocese, keep it to your own congregation, or limit it to one group inside your church. Try it below.
Whichever you choose, only the event details you publish are ever shared. Member and giving data never leave your church.
Nothing to install. Everything in the browser.
The same platform, from any device with a browser. A grandmother on a shared computer, a visitor who scanned a QR code at the festival, a family checking the calendar from a laptop — nobody is asked to download anything first.
Give in seconds
Donation pages that work for members and guests alike — with tax receipts issued automatically. CRA, IRS, ATO and NZ IRD ready — with HMRC-ready Giving Statements for the UK & EU.
Register and pay for events
Guests can discover, book and pay for anything the church publishes to the world — and get their QR ticket instantly.
Calendar and announcements
Liturgies, services and announcements, always current — the same source of truth the app and the portal share.
One app, sized and spoken for everyone.
A congregation is grandparents and teenagers, lifelong members and newcomers — eyes of more than one age, and households of more than one tongue. The app meets each of them exactly where they are.
Text that fits the reader.
Four sizes, from compact to extra large — applied instantly across every screen. A grandmother doesn’t ask for help with the app; the app adjusts to her.
Worship in your own words.
Members switch the whole app to their language in two taps. One parish, many mother tongues — every household is spoken to in the language it prays in.
A parish that prays in five languages shouldn’t need five systems.
Most church management systems are built for one language and one generation. A diaspora parish is neither. ChurchPlan is a multi-language ChMS: every member reads the app in their own tongue, from the same church, on the same day.
Each person picks their own
Language is a member setting, not a parish setting. One announcement, sent once, reaches a grandmother in her language and her grandson in his.
The whole app, not a corner of it
Menus, giving, tickets, the digital ID card, class and curriculum screens — the interface switches everywhere at once, in two taps, instantly.
Nothing for the office to maintain
No parallel site, no duplicated announcements, no translator on the rota. Your team publishes once and the app does the rest.
For immigrant and diaspora parishes this is usually the difference between an app the whole family opens and one only the English speakers do — and it is the generation gap, not the language, that quietly costs a church its young adults.
Where your team runs the church.
Staff, clergy and servants get a full console for the whole platform. Publish once and it appears everywhere — in the app, on the web, in every member’s pocket.
One ledger, gift to settlement
Giving, event payments and settlements in one place — receipts issued automatically in every jurisdiction you operate in.
A living CRM
Members, families, ministries and classes — with role-based access, so every servant sees exactly what they should and nothing more.
Change once, updates everywhere
Events, liturgies, curriculum and announcements are managed here and delivered to every surface — no re-typing, no drift.
One dashboard for the whole diocese.
ChurchPlan doesn’t stop at a single parish. A diocese gets its own dashboard with every church rolled up into one view — districts, congregations, active subscriptions, and the parishes that need attention — and can switch into any church and back in one click, while each church keeps control of its own data. Multi-parish networks are covered by Diocese licensing.
Give your church its own front door
Create your church, share your link, and your congregation is one tap away.
