Built for Everyone Your Church Serves
It’s a divine concept: 3-in-1. No other church website platform matches the range of features Congregate offers at a price any church can afford.
Visitors
- A fast, search-optimized public site with unlimited pages, hosting, and SSL included.
- Sermons and podcasts they can stream, subscribe to, and share.
- News, calendars, articles, blogs, and other public modules built in.
- Built-in visitor registration via QR code/direct link.
Most guests visit your website long before they walk through your doors. Congregate makes that first impression warm and clear, then gives them a reason to keep coming back after Sunday.
Members
- Free native iOS and Android app with the photo directory and every feature module.
- Automated reminders, daily and weekly news emails, and urgent messaging.
- Member-only pages, shared files, announcements, and prayer requests.
- Members update their own contact information and preferences.
Church life doesn’t stop when the last amen is said. Congregate keeps your church family close between Sundays, so no one misses a need, a milestone, or a chance to serve.
Leaders
- Email, text, and voice call the whole congregation from one message center.
- Worship rosters and volunteer assignments generated automatically each month.
- Attendance and visitor tracking, follow-up tasks, and a built-in CRM.
- Reports, charts, and exports whenever a decision needs the numbers.
Shepherds should spend their time with people, not paperwork. Congregate lifts the weekly administrative load off preachers, elders, and deacons so those hours go back to teaching, visiting, and caring for the flock.

The texting and email features have been a critical part of our communications with members during Hurricane Harvey. We had 50 families impacted by the storm with property damages and many others displaced. We were able to use the communication features to inform our members of storm situations, service cancellations and changes, and to organize work crews for remediation work for our members. This system truly has been a life-saver for our congregation!

We used to have someone spend two hours each month putting together the monthly work list for our congregation…with Congregate it now takes about 20 seconds to generate our work list, and when replacements happen, it’s just a click of a button to know who is supposed to fill in. If this was the only benefit it would be worth every penny, but there is so much more.

We knew what we needed, but the question came down to price, reliability, and appearance. Congregate was truly a “God sent” solution because it exceeded our expectations. Today, the members are more informed about important information. Our visitor count has increased weekly due to the exposure and content of our site and the website happens to be one of the most evangelistic resources we have in place for reaching the lost.
