Core Problem
Section titled “Core Problem”Local churches are losing digital contact with their congregation members. Communication is fragmented across WhatsApp, Instagram, email newsletters and PDFs. There is no centralized, church-owned digital space.
Pain Points
Section titled “Pain Points”For church leadership:
- No overview of who is actively engaged
- Communication via third-party platforms (algorithms, data privacy)
- No tool that understands church (events, groups, giving, sermons)
For congregation members:
- Multiple apps / channels for the same purpose
- No church-owned digital home
Status Quo (Alternatives)
Section titled “Status Quo (Alternatives)”| Solution | Problem |
|---|---|
| WhatsApp groups | Uncontrollable, no branding, data privacy issues |
| ChurchSuite / Planning Center | CHMS – too complex, too expensive, no Community Layer focus |
| Custom app development | CHF 50k–200k, months, requires a tech team |
| Do nothing | Loss of engagement and reach |
