GatherThe church ecosystem app
One connected hub for your whole church.
Messages, Commons for your groups, prayer wall, sign-ups, events, sermons, the directory, Bible and reading plans, built as one system. Everything your church does is connected to everything else, in one private app with your church’s name on it. Add a Gather church website, and it stays in sync with the app.

The whole app, screen by screen, side by side with a typical church app.
Why an ecosystem
Most churches run on a patchwork of tools. None of them talk to each other.
A group text for announcements, a sign-up website, an email newsletter, a shared calendar, a church directory, a Bible app and the church website. Every one needs its own login, its own list and a designated person keeping it up to date.
Before
Eight places to keep up.
Each one lives somewhere different. An event gets posted in one and forgotten in the rest.
With Gather
One app. One list of people.
- Messages and calls
- Commons, a page for every group
- Sign ups and reminders
- One church calendar
- Prayer wall and care board
- Directory and family trees
- Sermons and the bulletin
- Bible and reading plans
- Fellowship Meals and Get Togethers
Post it once and it shows up everywhere it belongs in the app. Members sign in once and find everything. Have Gather build your church website too, and it updates along with the app.
How it connects
Post it once.
It’s everywhere.
Every part of Gather is connected, so nothing gets typed twice.
Caring for each other
When a family needs help, the whole church can show up.
Prayer, meals and practical help all live in one app, so everyone can see what a family needs and how to help.
“Carry each other’s burdens.” Galatians 6:2
A family shares news on the Prayer Wall
A new baby, and a hard recovery. The church replies and prays, and the family posts updates as things change.
A meal train starts in Sign Ups
Families pick a night to bring dinner, and each one lands on their calendar.
Other needs go on the Care Board
Help with a move, a project around the house. Someone claims a way to help and the family knows.
The directory shows who’s close by
The member map and household pages show which families live nearby, and a message is one tap away.
And when it’s answered, everyone sees it
The request is marked resolved and kept in the archive — a record of prayers the church saw answered.
Every screen is part of the same system.
Websites
A church website, with or without the app.
We build and host a website for your church on your own web address. Your church’s leaders post events, sermons and announcements from Gather’s leader tools, and the website keeps itself up to date.
You can have the website on its own. If you also use the Gather app, the same post goes to your members’ phones and your website at once.
Getting the app too? Sign up for both at the same time and we’ll waive the website’s $500 setup fee. The website is then just $49 a month.

Your church set up in Gather with your name and logo, and your own access code so your members can join. Plans are a one-year agreement that renews each year.
Every plan includes everyday use of calls, recordings and storage. If a church’s use is unusually heavy, we’ll reach out and talk it through before anything changes.
Want a church website too? With any Gather plan, we’ll build it and waive the website’s setup fee. The website is $49 a month.

Frequently asked questions.
What does “ecosystem” mean for our church?
Everything your church does lives in one place and works together: an event has its own chat and photo album, a group has its own page in Commons for its posts, chat, meetings, reading and prayer, and a sign-up lands on your calendar. Members sign in once and find all of it. If Gather also builds your church website, the website is separate from the app but shares its events, announcements and bulletin.
Is it easy for everyone to use?
Yes. It works like the messaging apps people already use, there's nothing to set up, and members join with a link or your church's access code.
Is it in the App Store?
Yes. Gather is a free download from the App Store and Google Play, and it also works on the web on any computer. Your members download Gather, enter your church's access code, and see only your church, with your name and logo.
Is our church's information private?
Yes. Gather is members only, behind your access code, with no advertising and no data sharing. Your data belongs to your church.
How long does setup take?
Not long. You send your logo, and Gather sets up your church and gives you your access code. From there, members join and fill in their own profiles, and your leaders post the bulletin, events and announcements as they go.
What about giving?
Gather links to the giving page you already use, so nothing about your giving changes. There is no processing percentage and no per-gift fee.
Is there a contract?
Yes. Plans are a one-year agreement that renews from year to year. If you decide not to renew, just let us know at least 30 days before your renewal date.
