ChurchWorld
Church was never
about a building.
It's always been
about people.
Connect your ministry with the rest of the capital 'C' Church around the world and let's see what God can do through us together.
Most ministry software silos your church from every other christian on the planet that isn't going to your church right now.
ChurchWorld allows you to manage your church (CMS, events, donations) while also connecting you with churches in your city, state, country and around the world. Share Resources and Ideas, collaborate on Events, and see what others are doing to reach their communities.

How is this different than Facebook Groups?
Think of ChurchWorld Groups like a superpowered version of FB Groups. FB Groups are built for a general audience, not specific to church people, so it will always feel a bit lacking.
With ChurchWorld Groups, we have taken the next step and are stuffing powerful features into your Group to give as many tools as possible to help your Group thrive.
Go through the different features below to see some of the new features!
Group Types
Group Types are the first major different from Groups you may have seen on other platforms.
Our Groups can be used for any type of group including your Church, Bible Study, Ministry, Content Creator Community, tech help community and much more. We separate them into Types and you choose the Types that apply to your Group (you can even choose more than one).
Custom Forms
You can create custom Forms within your Group that you can send to your Group members to collect data or any kind of information you want!
You can see a table of your Forms and Form Submissions right within your Group.
Locations & Map
Does your Group meet in a specific place? Now you can add a Location to your Group!
Why is this powerful? Because those people don't need to go to your church to hear about your Group. Anyone can go to the Map and search for Groups near them and discover your Church, Bible Study or any other type of Group you have. Want to start a Game Night Group in your City that's open to anyone? Now you can!
What about privacy?
We will also be adding the ability to hide your specific address from anyone that is not an actual member of your Group, but they will still be able to see it's near them and apply to get more info.
Contacts
Manage the contacts in your network
The Contacts section is a tool that helps you manage and maintain strong relationships with your contacts in your network including people you follow, those that follow you, and members within the Groups that you manage.
Is this a Planning Center alternative or ChMS?
No, ChurchWorld is not meant to be a CMS or a ChMS.
In fact, we have plans to integrate with several of the larger CMS products out there, including Planning Center.
We take a "Bring-Your-Own-CMS" approach as much as possible and hopefully we can help enhance yours, not hinder it.
Memberships
Make members out of your biggest fans.
Add Memberships to your Group and collect monthly subscriptions. Earn consistent revenue and reward your biggest fans with exclusive content.
Newsletters often aren't read, but small updates usually are. That's why we allow you to send quick updates straight to your members. Unlike other platforms, we don't restrict who sees your updates either.
Missionaries, Ministries, Churches & Non-Profits
Lowest Pricing Possible
We don't charge transaction fees for non-profits, so you can get the standard Stripe fees only.
Memberships
Now you can create membership Subscription tiers for your ministry to offer an easy way for church members from around the world to support your cause!
It's never been easier for people to support you!
Updates
Easily send your members updates so they see what their membership is going towards. You can even add Feeds from your Apple Podcast or YouTube playlist directly into your Group so it automatically shows them new Episodes that you publish.
Content Creators
Earn from your biggest fans
You can now earn a consistent income from your biggest fans, similar to Patreon. What's the difference? You earn a lot more than other platforms. We offer a starting 95/5% split compared to platforms like Patreon that take up to 12%, and can be as low as 3% as you get more members.
One-time Donations
While you can offer subscriptions for your members, we are still working on accepting one-time donations. Please let us know if this is a feature you'd like to see right away!
Resources
Graphics, articles, media, and more.
You can create, share, and find a variety of content, including graphics, articles, posts, images, videos, and more. Whether you're looking for information on a specific topic or want to share your knowledge with others, this module provides a user-friendly way to create and share content.
Discover New Resources
One great aspect of ChurchWorld is the sharing of Resources across many different churches, denominations and even cultures. Expand your network and tap into a massive library of images, video, graphics, articles and audio to help your church thrive.
Manage your Library
You can upload media, bookmark any type of post and even download from other sources into your personal Media Library, where you can see everything you've collected. Then, you can find exactly what you need using search and filters whenever the need arises.
You can also share your resources with everyone, keep them private, or just share them within certain Groups.
