Sermons and Podcasts

A sermon archive that organizes itself.

Upload the audio, link to video, add a title, a date, and a speaker, upload any PowerPoint, PDF, or other corresponding documents, and the sermon is live on your website with a thumbnail and its own page.

Speakers, series, services, and sermon types are each managed as their own list. That means every sermon by one preacher gathers on one page, a series holds together in order, and someone can filter your archive down to Sunday evening lessons or gospel meeting sermons without scrolling through everything.

Visibility is set per sermon, so a lesson can be public or restricted to members. Sermons can be saved as drafts while you are still adding materials and published when they are ready.

A podcast feed, without becoming a podcaster.

Congregate generates a proper podcast feed from your sermons. Submit it once to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or anywhere else that takes a feed, and from then on every sermon you upload appears there automatically. There is no separate publishing step, no second upload, and nothing that falls behind.

That is a genuinely large reach difference. Members listen where they already listen, on a commute or a walk, rather than remembering to visit a website. And a podcast app is where people go looking for preaching, which means your lessons can be found by people who have never heard of your congregation.

Sermons can carry attached materials such as outlines and slides, are shareable to social media directly from your site, and appear in the members app alongside everything else. Existing archives import from a spreadsheet, and everything exports back to CSV.
