Church app daily readings and Bible reading plans
myChelper is a registered trade name of Faith Software, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (EIN 42-3505436). This is a charitable church-equipping program—not a separate for-profit software company.
Most folks won't bookmark page seven of your website for Tuesday's reading. If Scripture and a daily devotional live next to the group thread and prayer list—the same app they already tap—they stand a better chance of being seen. That's the whole idea.
What we mean by "readings" here
You shepherd more than announcements. There's Scripture, a Lent plan, a daily habit—stuff that deserves a real home, not a PDF lost in email.
In plain English: you can publish daily devotionals and reading plans your people can follow, with progress they can track. Verses can pull from a Bible translation you pick, so you're not hand-typing text at midnight.
We're not trying to turn your church app into a content firehose. We're trying to put Scripture where your people already show up—beside Groups and prayer—so you're not duct-taping one more tool onto the pile.
Why readings quietly die on the website
- Your reading plan might be beautiful. If it lives where nobody goes on a random Wednesday, it loses to the group text every time.
- A devotional emailed on Monday is buried by Tuesday. You know it. We've all done it.
- When Bible stuff lives in one app and community lives in another, people pick the one that pings. Usually that's not the church website.
What you probably need (we're guessing)
- One obvious place in the app for Scripture and a daily devotional—not "somewhere in the inbox."
- Something your volunteer can update without opening a ticket.
- A reading habit that sits near prayer and small-group life, not on an island.
What myChelper actually does here
You publish devotionals and reading plans from the same admin side you already use. Members see them in the church space they're used to—alongside community and giving if you've turned those on.
You don't need a clever growth hack. If people open the app to check on their group or pray for someone, the reading is right there. That's boring. It also works.
Want the tour? Start at the daily readings feature page. Want the “why” behind connection first? There's a short blog post linked below—we wrote it for tired pastors, not for pitch decks.
When this is a good fit
- You run a devotional, seasonal plan, or daily habit—and you want it inside the app, not scattered across five links.
- You want Scripture to live near midweek community, not only in a Sunday bulletin.
- You're done asking faithful people to remember one more URL.

FAQ
- Is myChelper just a content delivery app?
- No—and we're not pretending to be a full church management suite either. We care about connection first: Groups, prayer, community. Readings sit beside that so Scripture isn't the only reason to open the app—but it's not off in nowhere.
- What can we publish?
- Daily devotionals and multi-day reading plans—with scheduling and progress tracking so people can follow along. Verses pull from a Bible translation you choose, across many languages. What shows up depends on how you configure your church's app.
- Do daily readings replace small groups?
- No. A plan gives a rhythm; a group gives people. You still need both. We're just tired of watching them live in different apps nobody checks.
- How do people find readings once they are in the app?
- You decide what's on the home screen and tabs—same as the rest of myChelper. The win is fewer “which link was that again?” moments because Scripture sits next to the places they already tap.
- Can we run a church reading plan or devotional series?
- Yes. Build your own plan or pick one from the ready-made library, then schedule it and let people track progress week to week. If something's clunky, tell us—we'd rather hear the truth than pretend it's perfect.
- Does myChelper have sermon notes?
- Not yet as an in-app tool—we're not going to market a feature that isn't there. Daily readings and reading plans are what's shipped today; if sermon notes ships, this page will say so.
Pick one rhythm you can keep
You don't need a twelve-step launch. Pick one reading habit—a devotional or a plan. Put it next to a group or prayer rhythm you're already inviting people into. Keep the path obvious. That's enough to start.
