Church communication software that reduces missed messages
myChelper is a registered trade name of Faith Software, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. This is a charitable church-equipping program—not a separate for-profit software company.
When communication is scattered, people do not miss church because they stopped caring—they miss details because the channel was unclear. Church communication software helps churches publish updates in a place members recognize as “from the church,” then prompt action when timing matters.
What church communication software is
Church communication software helps churches publish updates, answer recurring questions, and prompt timely action—especially on mobile—using channels the church controls.
myChelper is church communication software designed for teams that want a calmer default: a church-facing inbox and announcements experience inside the same mobile home people use for giving and community—whether that is the shared myChelper app or your church’s fully branded native app—so “where did they say that?” has a better answer.
Common church communication problems
- Duplicate announcements across bulletin, slides, email, and texts—each version slightly different.
- Low-signal noise trains people to ignore notifications.
- Staff rely on personal text threads for ministry coordination—boundaries and privacy get fuzzy.
- Guests never join the “secret” channel where everything actually happens.
What churches need in a good solution
- A single trustworthy front door for official church updates.
- Push notifications for time-sensitive items: weather, schedule changes, last-minute serving needs.
- Role clarity: who can send, who can see, and what belongs in public versus group spaces.
- Consistency with events and giving so calls-to-action match what people see elsewhere.
How myChelper helps
myChelper places communication alongside the rest of your digital ministry stack: push notifications, organized church messaging, email to your whole people directory, and community structures like Groups when you want ministry-specific spaces. An announcement can go out as an email too, so the people who don’t check the app still hear from you.

Who this is best for
- Pastors and comms volunteers who need sustainable rhythms, not a second job as a social media manager.
- Churches standardizing on one mobile path for families who will not read long email chains.
- Teams trying to reduce “we texted the whole list” risk by moving official messaging into a church context.

FAQ
- What is church communication software?
- It is software that helps churches distribute announcements, reminders, and ministry messages through controlled channels—often including mobile notifications and organized inboxes.
- Is myChelper a replacement for email?
- Email is built in. From the admin portal you can email everyone in your People directory who has an email address, with a picture, a button, a preview, and a test send to yourself first. Your church’s name, mailing address, and an unsubscribe link are added for you. It goes to your whole directory (not to a single group), and on the free plan each email counts toward the same 3-messages-a-month limit as push announcements.
- How should we use push notifications without burning people out?
- Reserve pushes for true urgency and predictable rhythms; put everything else in a durable inbox people can browse. Our church communication problems article expands on this pattern.
- Can guests receive updates?
- Yes. First-time guests who fill in a guest card (from a QR code in your bulletin or on your website) are added to your church email unless they untick the box, so they hear from you even before they install the app. Beyond that, your rollout should define who installs the app, what groups exist, and what is public-facing versus member-facing—start with a simple policy your team can keep.
Pick one official channel—then make it easy to find
If you want that channel to live beside giving and events, start with a small launch: leaders first, then widen adoption with a clear story.
