One place your whole church runs on.
People, giving, kids check-in, services and groups — gathered into one system your team actually enjoys using. Retire the spreadsheets, the sign-up sheets, and six separate logins.
Built in Canada · CRA-ready giving receipts · Your data stays yours
- Spreadsheets
- Paper sign-in sheets
- Group text threads
- Realm / Breeze
- Giving envelopes
- Six separate logins
Every module orbits the same source of truth.
A person is entered once. Their giving, their kids' check-in, the group they lead and the team they serve on all read the same record. No re-typing. No lists that quietly drift out of sync. When one thing changes, everything knows.
- One directory feeds every tool
- One login, per-role permissions
- One bill — no add-on modules to buy
Know everyone, not just names.
Real households, guardians and relationships — not a flat list. Custom fields for what your church actually tracks, per-field privacy in the member directory, and a merge-duplicates flow that survives the messy import from Realm.
Giving your treasurer trusts.
Recurring gifts, funds, cash and cheque batches, and year-end statements that are proper CRA official donation receipts — charity number, eligible amount, sequential numbering, the works. QuickBooks sync arrives with the Community plan. A 2% fee on giving keeps Gather completely free for churches under 150; paid plans drop it to 1%.
Check-in that keeps kids safe.
A matching security code on the child and guardian, printed labels with allergy and medical flags, and a guarded pickup that alerts the room in real time. Runs on an iPad at the door — designed to keep working when the church wifi doesn't.
And the rest of Sunday, sorted.
Services & volunteers
Plan the order of service, keep a song library with CCLI logging, and schedule volunteers who accept or decline right from their phone.
Groups & events
Small groups with their own rosters and attendance, plus event registration and RSVPs — all tied back to the same people.
Messaging
Email and text your church by segment, with consent tracked for CASL — so the right people hear from you, the legal way.
Money and kids. We don't take that lightly.
You're trusting Gather with your members' giving records and your children's ministry. So safety isn't a feature bolted on later — it's the foundation everything else is built on.
Hosted in Canada
Your data lives on Canadian infrastructure, PIPEDA-aligned. It stays yours — export it any time.
True tenant isolation
Row-level security on every record. One church can never see another's data — enforced at the database, not just the app.
Safeguarding built in
Volunteer background-check tracking arrives with the Community plan, gating who can serve with kids. Full audit trail on people and giving.
Bank-grade encryption
Encrypted in transit and at rest. Card data never touches our servers — giving runs on Stripe, the standard the banks trust.
Free for small churches.
Under 150 attending, Gather is free — funded by 2% on giving. Paid plans add features and drop the fee to 1%. Every plan has every module and unlimited users.

A church is people. So is Gather.
A church runs on a hundred little things. Gather holds all of them, in one place.
The software fades into the background. What's left is more time for the faces in the room.
