Message Leadership…
Service Planning
Build the service run sheet with your team — every item, how long it runs and who is doing it — then invite those people and see who has said yes.
Livestream + Live Giving
Stream on YouTube, keep the congregation inside your app: prayer, chat, sermon notes and giving one tap away.
Event Registration
Ticket types, waitlists and group booking — event registration with a confirmation QR at the door.
CRM
Register, check in or fill a form and a contact appears with the history attached. One person, one row — deduplicated by email, with every gift you record landing on it. Connect Gmail and email them without leaving the dashboard.
THE PATCHWORK
Too many logins to run one Sunday.
Giving in one tool, check-in in another, the rota in a spreadsheet and announcements in a group chat. Nobody sees the whole person, and every tool sends its own bill.
SUNDAY, SORTED
Church volunteer scheduling and Sunday service planning — without the group text
Build the order of service once. Harvest emails everyone on the rota with one link to accept or decline, flags double-bookings, and shows who still has not answered. (Service Planning ships on the Ministry plan.)
IN THEIR POCKET
Everything your members need, all week long.
Your church goes home with them. The live service, Scripture, their group and your voice, one tap away.
Your app on their home screen.
It installs in seconds. No app store, no account to create.
Sunday, live from anywhere.
Watch in your app, chat, follow the sermon notes and send a prayer straight to the pastor.
The whole Bible.
Eight translations, highlighting and one-tap sharing.
Your voice in their feed.
Every post lands with a push notification. No algorithm between you and them.
Their group, in one place.
Channels for their group and a direct line to any leader, out of the group text.
A place to pray together.
They share a request in one line and see how many people prayed.

Online giving for churches with a 0% Harvest platform fee — church donation software that publishes your own PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, Revolut and Wise links. Campaigns and pledges included; Harvest takes no cut.
Your accounts, not ours
Online Giving — Without Harvest Taking a Cut
Publish your own PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, Revolut and Wise links on one giving page. Harvest is never in the flow — no platform fee, nothing held.
Giving software should not sit between the giver and the ministry. Most platforms sit between a ministry and the gift and take 2–5% of it, forever. Harvest does not sit there at all — a member taps the account your ministry already uses, and the money goes to it. There is nothing for us to route, nothing to hold and nothing to take a share of. You pay a flat subscription and nothing else.
For admins
- Paste your own payment links — six providers
- Every link checked against its provider before it goes live
- Record a gift by hand and it posts to your dashboard, giving records and the giver’s history
For members
- One page with every way to give
- No login, on any phone
- Taps straight into the app they already use

Share giving from the platform
Put your giving page on the screen, in one tap.
Tithe and offering software your members already know how to use — share the page that carries every way your ministry takes a gift, as a link, a native share sheet, or a QR code big enough to read from the back row.
The offering is announced and nobody knows the link. One tap puts a QR on the screen at the front of the room — and the page behind it already lists every account your ministry actually uses.
For admins
- Share to any app from your phone’s own share sheet
- Copy the page and every payment link in one press
- A downloadable QR code for the screen, a flyer or a bulletin
- Every link is re-checked against its provider before it is shared
For members
- One page with every way to give, however they prefer
- Opens with no login, on any phone
- Taps straight through to PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Revolut or Wise
- Scan the QR from a seat and give before the song ends

A building fund isn't a GoFundMe
A Number Everyone Can Watch.
Run a campaign with a goal, a cover image and a progress bar — on a public page that carries the accounts your ministry actually uses and opens without an account.
A campaign needs a figure everyone can see moving. The campaign page carries the total, the goal and the story behind it — and beneath them, the accounts your ministry already takes gifts through. What comes in you record against the total, so the number on the page is one you can stand behind rather than one a processor decided.
For admins
- A goal, a cover image and an end date, set at creation
- Record gifts from your own payment links against the total
- A correction is a negative amount — both entries stay in the trail
- Embed a live campaign in a post on the community feed
For members
- A public campaign page — no login
- Every way your ministry takes a gift, on the campaign page itself
- A progress bar against the goal, and the days still left

Commit now, give later
Three hundred families, a thousand dollars each.
A pledge campaign takes the commitment now and follows it until it is met — a ledger of pledged against paid, donor by donor, with the status worked out from the numbers.
A ministry may need more than a progress bar — it may need commitments over time. A pledge campaign tracks exactly that, with a status derived from the numbers, never a stale manual field.
For admins
- Chosen at creation — "New campaign" asks Fundraising or Pledge
- A ledger of pledged against paid, donor by donor
- Status derived from the numbers: active, fulfilled or lapsed
- A campaign deadline, and a due date on each pledge
For members
- A public pledge page — no login
- Commit an amount now and give it over the months that follow
- A confirmation the moment you commit

Run Sunday.
Run Sunday.
The plan, the team, the door and the stream, ready before anyone arrives.
Service planning + volunteer invites
Plan the Service. Invite the Team.
Build the service run sheet with your team — every item, how long it runs and who is doing it — then invite those people and see who has said yes.
The run sheet stops being a document somebody emails round on Thursday. Timings add up on their own, so moving one item moves everything after it, and the person on the door finds out by email instead of by group chat.
For the team
- An order of service you reorder — durations become clock times
- Assign people to items; double-bookings are flagged
- See who has not served recently, and which slots are still empty
- Invite by email and read each answer; send a reminder
For volunteers
- An email saying what they are doing and when
- One link to accept or decline — no sign-in, no account
- A reminder before the day, if they have not answered

Attendance becomes data
Print a QR, tape it to the door.
Check-in and attendance tracking that lands in your CRM — visitors and members scan, enter a first name, and they are done. No app, no account.
The bar for a first-time visitor is “point your camera at this.” No app, no account, no line at a kiosk — and attendance quietly becomes data.

The prayer that reaches the pastor
Go live — and reach the person watching alone.
Stream on YouTube, keep the congregation inside your app: prayer, chat, sermon notes and giving one tap away.
Someone watching alone at home types a prayer request — and a real person at the pastor’s console marks it prayed. Lead with this, not the video player.
For admins
- Paste a YouTube URL or ID — one button to go live
- Live viewer and prayer counts, with a peak record
- Live prayer queue — tap “Prayed” to clear one
- Delete any chat comment; archive every session
For members
- Gold “Live Now” banner on Home the instant you start
- Embedded player with realtime chat
- Submit a prayer request straight to the pastor
- Sermon notes synced to the stream; your giving page one tap away

Registered, scanned, through the door
Sign Up on a Phone. Walk In on a Scan.
Ticket types, waitlists and group booking — event registration with a confirmation QR at the door.
A first-time visitor opens the event page on their phone, registers with no account and no app, and has a confirmation with a scannable code before they have put the phone down. On the day, somebody at the door scans it. Nothing else has to happen.
For admins
- Multiple ticket types, each with its own capacity
- Per-event waitlist; a whole party is waitlisted together
- Draft → publish, manual check-in, CSV export
- Pin an event to the top of the community feed
For members
- Register at a public event page — no account
- Confirmation email with a scannable QR once confirmed
- “My Tickets” with a full-screen QR code

Dignity, not a graveyard
A prayer wall that never becomes a graveyard.
Post in one line, pray with one tap — and requests clear themselves after 30 days, by design.
The person who asked can see that 14 people prayed. That is the whole emotional payload — and the wall stays current, because everyone is told it clears in 30 days before they post.
Prayer wallAuto-clears in 30 days
Please pray for my mom's surgery on Thursday. Thank you, church.

Know every person.
Know every person.
Church membership software and CRM in the same record — one person, one row, and every admin sees only their piece.
You never type a contact in
One record per person — built automatically.
Register, check in or fill a form and a contact appears with the history attached. One person, one row — deduplicated by email, with every gift you record landing on it. Connect Gmail and email them without leaving the dashboard.
A database can fill up with duplicate records. Harvest merges app members and manual contacts into one row on a stable link — so a person's giving history never scatters across three records.
For admins
- Members & manual contacts merged into one list
- Contacts scale by plan: 500 → 2,000 → 4,000
- Connect Gmail and email a contact from their record
- A gift you record posts to their timeline and their total
- Five-stage discipleship pipeline: New → Champion
- Tags you can segment and filter the whole list by
For members
- A single profile that follows them everywhere
- Giving, events, check-ins & forms on one timeline
- Emails you send land from your own address
- Total given & last gift always current
Available on
ChurchMinistry
The CRM itself is on every plan, Forever Free included; how many people it holds is what scales — 500 on Forever Free, 500 on Church, 5,000 on Ministry.
Your volunteers see only their part
One dashboard. Everyone sees only their piece.
Twenty-three granular permissions per admin, plus location- and region-scoped access — so the check-in lead never sees donation records, and the treasurer never sees prayer requests.
Ministries run on volunteers, and trust boundaries between them matter. The person running check-in doesn’t see giving; the location leader sees their location and posts to their city, and nothing else.
Delegation
- 23 permissions across content, money, broadcasting & admin
- Location-scoped analytics & region-scoped posting
- Gated features are absent, not teased with a padlock
- Drag-reorder nav — bottom bar & drawer, saved separately
Setup
- Admin seats scale by plan: 2 → 5 → 15
- A purposeful upgrade screen, never a dead end
- Roles assigned to a person, right inside the CRM
- A first-run wizard for branding & integrations

Forms that become people
Forms that don't die in a spreadsheet.
Build any form from nine field types, share a link or QR, and every response matches or creates a contact in your CRM — with a history, not just a row.
Google Forms gives you rows. This gives you people. Every connect card, volunteer signup and prayer card becomes a contact with a history — automatically, deduplicated by email.
For admins
- Nine field types, required flags, reorder, active/inactive
- Public branded form — no login to fill it in
- Smart match: email/phone/name by type and label
- Per-form submission list & CSV export
For members
- A clean, branded form on any device
- No account, zero friction
- One QR works on a bulletin, a slide or a link

The whole Bible, inside your app.
Eight translations, highlighting and one-tap sharing — so nobody ever has to leave your app to read scripture.
The whole point of a ministry app is that your people open it. Give them a reason to switch to another Bible app and you've lost them — so scripture lives right here.

- All 66 books, eight public-domain translations
- Full-text search across the translation
- Nothing to configure — on by default
- No licensing fee or per-read cost
