Gather

The app for your church

Everything your church does, in one app.

Messages

The whole church, one conversation away.

One-to-one messages, groups, and church-wide channels with a notification on every phone — plus voice and video calls, all inside the app.

  • Photos, voice notes, replies and reactions
  • Read receipts and typing, like the apps people already use
  • Pinned messages, polls, and search across every thread

Prayer

A prayer wall the church actually prays through.

Members post requests, the church taps to say they've prayed, the person who asked posts updates, and answered prayers move to an archive.

  • Requests for everyone, or just the men or the women
  • Updates and “prayer request changed” notes
  • An archive of answered prayers

Sign-ups

Meals, treats, clean-up and meal trains — filled in by the church.

Fellowship meals by group with a rotating host, worship treats and clean-up rotations with reminders, and meal trains for a family who needs them.

  • RSVP, say what you're bringing, chat about the meal
  • Reminders the evening before to whoever signed up
  • “I'm on my way” with directions to the host's door

Events & more

Events, calendar, directory, sermons, Bible plans, giving.

Everything else a church needs is in there too — one calendar with RSVPs and a chat on every event, a members-only directory with families and birthdays, sermons the moment they're posted, reading plans done together, and a link to your giving page.

  • Your own App Store and Google Play listing
  • Members only, behind your church's access code
  • Sermons and events also feed your church website

Everything included

Built for the whole week, not just Sunday.

Bulletin & sermons

Sunday's order of worship on every phone, and every sermon to watch or listen to again — with notes to take home.

Messages

One-to-one, groups, and church-wide channels. Photos, voice notes, replies, reactions, read receipts, and voice and video calls.

Prayer wall

Requests the whole church can pray over, updates from the person who asked, and an archive of answered prayers.

Sign-ups

Fellowship meals, worship treats, clean-up rotations and meal trains, with reminders before the day.

Directory & families

Every member and household with photos, contact details, birthdays and family connections. Members only; each person chooses what to show.

Events & calendar

One calendar with RSVPs, who's coming, directions, and a conversation on every event.

Bible reading plans

Plans the church reads together, with a conversation alongside and a reminder when the day's reading is ready.

Care board

When a family needs a hand — a meal, a lift, a repair — the church can see it and respond.

In use every week at Christ Church Boerne, Texas, since 2025.

Why Gather

A different kind of church app.

Gather was designed around what a congregation does between services — the conversations, the meals, the prayers, the sign-ups — so that it becomes the place the church talks, not another thing to check.

1

Used every week

Messages, prayer, sign-ups and family news are part of daily life, which is what makes announcements posted here seen.

2

One app, one login

Messaging, sign-ups, directory, events, sermons and giving in one place, rather than spread across several tools and a group text.

3

Support that knows your church

Questions go to people who know the app and your setup, and features requested by members are usually added within the week.

4

Private by design

Members only, behind your church's access code. No advertising and no data sharing. Children appear only under their parents, and each member chooses what to show.

5

Giving stays where it is

Gather links to the giving page you already use. There is no processing percentage and no per-gift fee.

6

One flat price

Priced by church size, with every feature included and no per-member fees. Your own App Store and Google Play listing, under your church's name.

Websites

Your website and your app, from the same place.

Gather can also build and host your church's website. Because the website and the app share one set of content, a sermon or event is entered once and appears in both.

  • One place to update. Sermons, events and the calendar live in Gather; the website reads them.
  • Made to be found. Service times, address and directions on the first screen, fast on a phone, and set up for search.
  • Yours, and looked after. Your domain, your design, your photos. Hosting, security and updates are included.
$500once, to design and build it
$49/mohosted, backed up, kept current

Included with Gather. Churches on any Gather plan get the website at no additional cost.

Support

Built inside a church.

Gather grew out of Christ Church Boerne, Texas, where it has been in weekly use since 2025, and most of what's in it began as a request from a member of the congregation. Setup, training and support come from the Gather team — people who use it on Sundays too.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Our members aren't very technical. Will they use it?

It works like the messaging apps they already use, there is nothing to configure, and a member joins with a link or the church's access code. Churches typically find that members of every age settle in within the first couple of weeks.

Is it in the App Store?

Yes — under your church's own name and icon, on iPhone and Android, plus the web on any computer. Publishing it to the stores is part of setup.

Is our church's information private?

Yes. Gather is members only, behind your access code, with no advertising and no data sharing. Children appear only under their parents, and each member chooses what the directory shows about them. Your data belongs to your church and can be exported at any time.

How long does setup take?

Typically two to three weeks. You provide the directory (a spreadsheet is fine), your logo and colors, and your sermon channel; Gather builds the app, loads the first bulletin and events, trains your staff, and publishes it to the app stores.

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?

No. Plans are month to month, or annual with two months free, and can be cancelled at any time.
