Is the church app really included for free?

Yes. You can start with a free plan that includes core app and website capabilities. Paid plans add extras like custom short domains; see pricing for current tiers.

Do members download a separate app per church?

Members use the myChelper app and select your church (or follow your invite flow). You still get your branding and content for your congregation.

How does giving work?

Giving runs through Stripe with a clear fee structure on our pricing page. Your church connects the appropriate Stripe setup from the admin portal.

Groups are spaces in My Community for ministries and small groups, with visibility and membership rules you control, optional events, and messaging settings per group.

myChelper

Church app features in one place

myChelper brings together a branded church experience in the mobile app, a simple website builder, mobile giving, daily readings and sermon follow-up, and tools to help you communicate—so members can connect in Groups and prayer in the same place they open for Scripture and generosity, without wiring up five different vendors.

Explore by area

Dig into the parts of the product your church cares about most—each page maps to how teams actually describe their needs.

Commercial keyword pages (for search intent) live under /solutions—for example church communication software and small church tools.

Mobile app for your church

Members open the myChelper app and access your church’s content, giving, and community areas. You customize branding and home screen content from the admin portal.

Website builder

Build and host a site that matches your church—linked to the same account as your app. Start on free hosting; paid plans can include a short custom domain.

Mobile giving

Secure donations through Stripe, with options like Apple Pay and Google Pay where available. Fees and plan details are spelled out on pricing—no surprise “gotchas” in the fine print here.

Communication and engagement

Reach your people with push notifications and organized community spaces. Groups support discoverability, join rules, leader announcements, and (when your church enables it) member messaging—see the Groups overview on our blog.

We are deliberate about why people open the app: connection and care first—not only a feed of announcements. Read your church app isn't only for announcements for how that shapes daily readings, Groups, and giving together.

Daily readings, sermon notes, and reading plans

Publish Scripture rhythms, sermon follow-up, devotionals, and structured reading plans inside the same mobile home people use for community and prayer—so teaching is not stranded on a webpage few people bookmark.
