KirchApp

KirchApp - the app for your church ⛪✨

The KirchApp brings your church community together:

Events, news, groups, and donations all in one place.

No more paper clutter and no need for ten different tools.

Simply where your people already are: on their phones.

🙏 For church life, not just administration

We built KirchApp for everyday use. For quick communication via chat, posting on the bulletin board, and sending out Sunday greetings on time.

📌 Digital bulletin board
- Share offers and requests with a title, description, and deadline.

- Optionally with registration, additional questions, or comments. For moving help, rideshares, or cakes for the church festival.

- No birthday will be forgotten. Admins can set automatic reminders with their own lead time and time.

💬 Chat and groups, just the way you need them

- Groups for teams, circles, and projects. Start chatting right away, without email distribution lists.

- @-mentions, formatted text, link previews, and emoji reactions.

- See who's typing, mute chats, filter by private, group, and unread messages, and start polls directly in the chat.

📅 Events and Appointments Without Duplicating Work

- All events in one place, with push notifications for new dates.

- Registration for yourself and others, with availability, costs, custom fields, and deadlines. Check-in on-site with a single tap.

- Import events from the Networked Church, for example, from evangelische-termine.de or termine.ekir.de.

- Automatically import posts via RSS and Atom feeds, so you don't have to maintain anything twice.

📰 News, Inspiration, and Content That Resonates

- Posts and church newsletters directly in the app.

- Schedule posts and polls and publish them automatically on your preferred date.

- Daily inspiration every morning at 7 a.m. A short thought to start your day.


🏛️ Your Church Showcase

- A church page with information blocks that you can freely combine. Each block has its own visibility: public or for members only.

- Team profile with photos and contact information, and important documents directly on the homepage.

🔍 Get Found and Stay Connected

- Church search in the KirchApp network. Interested people can find you quickly and get to know you.

- Share everything via QR code, from church and group information to events and fundraising projects. Tracks how often it's scanned. Works for guests too.

💝 Make Donations Easily Possible

- Present fundraising projects and allow contactless donations via PayPal, SEPA direct debit, bank transfer, and credit card. Also via QR code on posters or flyers.

🔒 Secure, Organized, and Fair

- File storage with a proper permissions system. You decide who can see, edit, or delete what.

- Custom feed settings: tailor exactly what you want to see.

- Easy member management and streamlined settings.

- Flexible notifications. Each member decides for themselves what they want to be informed about.

The KirchApp is developed in collaboration with congregations; your feedback drives the app's development.
