Free Church Management Software and Community App for Small Churches
Give your church leaders simple management tools—and give your members one app for communication, groups, events, giving, and community.
Church Chatter brings church management software and a member-facing church app together in one easy-to-use platform for small and midsize churches.
Whether your church has 30 members or 500, you can keep your people organized, informed, and connected without paying enterprise software prices.
Everything your church needs—without enterprise pricing.
FREE CHURCH APP
No credit card required.
One Platform for Your Leaders and Your Members
Most church software focuses on either administration or member engagement. Church Chatter brings both sides of church life together.
Church leaders can manage people, organize ministries, create events, collect forms, share announcements, and oversee giving. Members get one central app where they can connect with their church and participate throughout the week.
Church Management Tools for Leaders
Give pastors, staff, and ministry leaders practical tools to organize people, manage church information, coordinate ministry, and reduce administrative work.
A Community App for Members
Give members one church-centered place to receive announcements, join conversations, participate in groups, find events, submit forms, and give online.
Everything Your Church Needs in One Place
Many small churches rely on group texts, spreadsheets, social media, email lists, form services, and separate giving platforms.
Information becomes scattered. Members miss important updates. Ministry leaders spend too much time switching between disconnected tools.
Church Chatter brings your church’s most important management and communication tools into one connected platform.
Keep Your Church Connected Throughout the Week
Create a private digital community where members can receive announcements, share prayer requests, participate in conversations, respond to polls, and stay connected beyond Sunday morning.
Reach your congregation directly without depending on social media algorithms or overwhelming members with group texts.
Organize Ministries, Teams, and Small Groups
Create dedicated spaces for small groups, worship teams, volunteers, children’s ministry, youth ministry, prayer teams, leadership, and other areas of your church.
Each group can have its own conversations and updates, allowing leaders to reach the right people without sending every message to the entire congregation.
Plan Events and Manage RSVPs
Publish services, Bible studies, volunteer meetings, conferences, outreach activities, and other church events.
Members can view event information and RSVP through the same church app they already use to stay connected.
Build Forms and Connection Cards
Create custom forms for connection cards, prayer requests, volunteer interest, ministry signups, event registration, and other church needs.
Collect and organize information without paying for another form-building service.
Manage People and Church Information
Keep member information, households, groups, attendance, and important ministry records organized as your congregation grows.
Church Chatter gives your leaders a dependable church management system without requiring a large staff or dedicated IT team.
Make Online Giving Simple
Give members a convenient way to make one-time or recurring gifts online.
Online giving is available alongside the communication, events, and community tools your members already use, creating a more connected church experience.
Church Software Without Enterprise Pricing
Many church-management platforms become expensive as you add members, administrators, communication tools, or essential features.
Church Chatter gives small and midsize churches a modern management platform and community app without requiring a large monthly software commitment.
That means more of your church’s resources can remain focused on ministry, outreach, and serving people.
”Every day, they strive to improve their service to the clients by developing the right blend of technology and creativity to make sure every job done is done as efficiently as possible.”

Simple enough for volunteers to manage
Easy for members of different ages to use
Flexible enough for different ministry needs
Affordable for churches with limited budgets
Capable of supporting your church as it grows
Start with the tools your church needs today and expand how you use the platform as your ministry grows.
