Discipleship is the part most church software leaves out
Managing a church and ministering to a person are different jobs, and most systems only do the first. Church By Faith does both, which is why a course, a reading plan and a prayer request all live beside the membership record.
The tools people grow with
Courses you write yourself
Lessons in the order you set, with video where you want it. Publish to your church, archive when a season ends.
Bible reading plans
A schedule of readings, with each reader’s progress private to them. Leaders see how many people are reading, never who.
Bible reading and study
Multiple versions, a dictionary, highlights, search and comparison, plus audio and offline packages.
Teachings
Written teaching and answered questions, published to your congregation or to the public.
A private journal
Private to its author — not to the pastor, not to the church owner, not to us.
Why privacy is the design and not a setting
A journal or a reading streak that leadership can read is a journal nobody writes in honestly. Direct messages are private to the two people in them, and the journal is private to its author. Group conversations are deliberately different — a group is a room with a roster, not a letter between two people — and we say so rather than blurring it.
Frequently asked questions
- Can we see who is falling behind on a reading plan?
- No, and that is deliberate. You get the number of people reading, never the names. A discipleship tool that reports on individuals stops being one.
- Do you provide the course content?
- No. You write your own, which is the point — your church’s teaching, in your church’s words.
