For churches with no office staff, and churches with too much of it
A staff for the church that can't hire.
Start with a recurring office job. Named roles prepare work from the material that job needs, and a person on your team reviews each draft.
Fifteen questions, and it's free. Your answers produce workload estimates to discuss with your team.
Doors open 1.1.27 The first software cohort is planned for January 2027.
The staff
Start with the work your team reviews.
Choose a recurring job, supply the material it needs, and name its reviewer. Each paid role should have work your church can use.
1
Communications
Sunday social posts from a current sermon your church has marked Public.
Will never write a sermon, or post without your approval.
2
Follow-up & Connections
A guest follow-up draft from the Visitor basics your church has confirmed.
Will never answer a pastoral need itself. Those go to a person.

Then, on the wall
The Watchman
The wall your staff reports to. Very hard to unplug.
A small always-on device with one round screen, wired to the systems you already use. Giving, attendance, streams, volunteers, and alerts live on one wall, with a morning brief only when something needs a decision. Hands-on install, a handful of churches a year.
The covenant
We run your church office. We never touch the pulpit or pastoral care.
Never the pulpit.No sermon writing. Your sermons are used only so the voice sounds like you.
Never pastoral care.Counseling and care are human work. A crisis routes to a person, never a draft.
Minors refused at the door.Children's data is rejected at ingestion, not redacted and kept.
Use aggregate giving totals.Do not upload individual giving records. Detected donor records are rejected.
The product has safety checks and a blocking test suite. They do not replace your church’s data policy or review of suitable inputs.
What it costs
The hire you can't afford is $45,000 a year.
This starts at $398 a month.
Plans start at $398 a month, including your Chief of Staff, workspace and one role. Setup included.
