No credit card, no time limit, and nothing above held back to upsell you. If your church later moves to a paid tier, it's because you're ready for extras like a custom domain or your own App Store listing—and because it helps fund this free program for churches that can't pay. Compare plans.
Our mission
Years ago, our founder watched churches get priced out of the very tools that could help them reach more people—an app, a website, a simple way to receive giving. Only the churches that could afford the big platforms got to use them, and that didn't sit right. So myChelper was built to be free to start, with no credit card and no catch—a real church app, website, and giving experience for any church, regardless of budget.
Today, more than 60 churches use myChelper 100% free of charge. When a church does choose a paid tier, it's not because the free version is held back—it's because that upgrade helps us keep the free program running for churches who can't pay at all. And if your church wants more but the cost is the obstacle, just tell us. We'd rather waive a fee than watch a ministry go without. We believe it really is better to give than to receive.

What We're About
Free, Because It Should Be
We're a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit, not a company chasing investors. If you upgrade, it's to help fund free access for churches that can't pay—not to unlock features we're withholding from you.
Ask, and We'll Work With You
Budget shouldn't be the reason a church goes without. If a paid tier would help your ministry but the cost is out of reach, reach out—we'll find a way.
Everything in One Place
Everything works together natively. One login manages your website, your app, your giving, and your group communication.

Real words from pastors and ministry leaders who got their church app live — and kept going.
“Our church has loved using MyChelper! It's made it easy to stay connected with our congregation, send out announcements, and share the service schedule. A great tool for keeping our community informed and engaged.”
St. Mary Coptic Orthodox Church
“I see the great work you're doing with all the upgrades. May the Lord give you more grace for what you have in mind for MyChelper. Thank you for adding the groups feature as well. It's a really powerful feature for church administration and ministry. I'm really looking forward to the app update.”
Mount Zion Baptist Church
“MyChelper has been transformative for our small ministry! In our international work, we needed a way to easily bring our content to different nations and people groups and MyChelper provided the structure and framework to create an app that is easy to download and easy to use. The admin interface provides many useful options and is easy to customize. I never had to worry about the "back end" programming as any question or need was always addressed in a quick time frame. Pricing is extremely affordable. Support is quick and very helpful. We wouldn't be where we are today without MyChelper! Lives are being transformed because of this great service! I can't recommend MyChelper highly enough!”
