Why Methodist churches need a Methodist app
Generic church apps do not understand the connectional system. Your app should.
Connectional, Not Independent
Most church apps assume autonomous churches. Methodist churches are part of a connection with districts, conferences, and apportionments. Your app should reflect that structure.
Lay Leadership Matters
Methodist churches rely heavily on lay leadership. Lay servants, lay speakers, SPRC members, and trustees all need tools to serve effectively.
Conference-Ready Reporting
When charge conference comes around, you need numbers. Your app should generate the reports your DS expects, not force you to export to spreadsheets.
Frequently asked questions
Common questions from pastors, SPRC members, and lay leaders.
How is this different from Tithe.ly?
Tithe.ly offers giving tools and a templated app. We build a 100% custom native app your church owns. No shared templates, no platform lock-in.
How is this different from Realm by ACS?
Realm is a full church management system that costs $300+/mo. We build a member-facing mobile app for $250/mo that complements your existing systems.
Can we track connectional giving?
Yes. Manage apportionment tracking, conference asks, and local giving all within the app. Members see exactly where their giving goes.
Does it support charge conference reporting?
Yes. Generate membership, attendance, and financial reports formatted for your annual charge conference.
Can we manage lay servant tracking?
Yes. Track lay servant certifications, continuing education credits, and ministry assignments.
How does giving work?

Can we coordinate district events?
Yes. Your app can display district and conference events alongside local church events in a unified calendar.
Can we send push notifications?
Unlimited. Service changes, charge conference reminders, UMW meeting updates, and district event announcements.
How fast can we launch?
Most church apps launch within 2 to 3 weeks. We handle design, development, and App Store submission.
Is there a long-term contract?
No. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime with no penalties.
