Free digital ministry tools for churches that shouldn't need another bill.
myChelper is Faith Software's church equipping program. We built it for volunteer-led and under-resourced congregations — bi-vocational pastors, part-time admins, and small teams who love their people but can't afford enterprise church software or a stack of monthly subscriptions. Faith Software, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN 42-3505436).
Every church qualifies for the Free plan with no credit card required — a real app, website, and giving setup, not a trial. More than 60 churches already run myChelper without paying for the core plan.
Why this program exists
Enterprise church software is built and priced for larger budgets. myChelper exists so a congregation's size or finances never decide whether it can communicate, disciple, and organize ministry well. It is one of four charitable programs we run — not a separate product company.
"It is more blessed to give than to receive."
Acts 20:35
What every church gets free
No credit card required. The Free plan is the same for a church of forty or four hundred — and more than 60 congregations already use it at $0 for the core plan.
Stay connected between Sundays
Share announcements with text, photos, or video and reach members through the church app — including groups, serving teams, classes, and a place for prayer requests and answered prayer. Leaders can message groups and send scheduled church-wide updates without juggling a separate email blast tool.
A home base on the web and on phones
Publish a church website with simple drag-and-drop pages and hosting included, plus an app home screen members can save to their phones. New churches receive a starter site to edit on day one, with room to match your logo and colors.
Generosity that lands in the church's account
Offer one-time and recurring online giving that pays out to your congregation's own payment account, with basic reporting and statements leaders can download for members.
Standard payment processing fees apply to online gifts.
Rhythm for discipleship and gathering
Run a shared events calendar (including recurring gatherings), publish devotionals and reading plans, and give members a full Bible reader with multiple translations — so the week's ministry isn't scattered across unrelated apps.
Leadership tools sized for volunteers
Invite multiple admins with sensible permissions, maintain a member directory (including bulk import for larger rolls), and publish app and website changes with preview before they go live — built for teams who serve in evenings and weekends, not full-time IT staff.
New to church tech?
Our free Build training walks through setting up a church website, an app home screen, and online giving step by step — no signup required to read it, and it uses myChelper for its demonstrations. Start the free training.
Optional paid plans (including Ready to Go+)
Everything listed above is on the Free plan. Ready to Go+ and other optional paid tiers add capacity for churches that want more — and those subscriptions help cover hosting and engineering so Free access can stay open for others.
If your church needs Ready to Go+ (or another paid tier) and truly can't afford it, we will unlock it at no cost. Budget should never be the reason a congregation goes without the tools it needs to serve its people.
