In their own words
Church Compass
Church Compass combines a church member app with a web admin portal for church operations, communication, donations, and discipleship content. Members can RSVP to events, watch live streams or archived sermons, and add timestamped notes to videos. Small groups, private messaging, and prayer requests support congregant communication; prayer requests can be anonymous or public. Members can check in by QR code or manually, while administrators track attendance and coordinate volunteer roles and shifts. Giving supports designated funds and recurring gifts through Stripe-powered checkout, or a church can link its own giving page. In-app donations carry a 0.25% Church Compass platform fee per donation, with Stripe processing fees charged separately. Worship Compass provides a song library, set lists, rehearsal scheduling, collaborative songwriting, and SongSelect integration for CCLI-licensed music. The service runs on Android, iOS, and the web. Plans start at $19/mo for up to 500 members, with a 30-day trial; there is no free plan. Church registration and payment-related actions must be handled on the website, and each church has one lead admin for billing.
