Church communications platform
One hub for every channel, ministry, and team.
A church communications platform is the hub where every channel, ministry, and team meets in one plan. Communicate is church communications planning software built as that hub: every announcement, email, text, social post, and service slide on one shared calendar, with campaigns and approval.

Definition
What is a church communications platform?
A church communications platform is the central place a church uses to coordinate communication across every channel and ministry. It brings every message into one shared plan, so the weekly email, the Instagram post, the text reminder, and the Sunday slide for the same event are prepared together.
Communicate is a church communications workspace that holds the plan, the content, and the people responsible in one place. On Plus, AI Copywriting also writes the copy for each channel in your church’s voice.
The hub
What does a church communications platform connect?
Three things that usually live apart: your channels, your ministries, and the people who need to know the plan.
A church communications platform connects channels (email, social, texts, slides, bulletin), ministries (kids, youth, worship, missions, and more), and teams (comms staff, pastors, and campuses).
Your channels
Email, Facebook, Instagram, texts, Sunday slides, the bulletin, the website. In Communicate, each channel you add becomes a row on one calendar, so you see them side by side.
Your ministries
Kids, youth, worship, and missions all want time on Sunday and space in the email. Group each ministry’s messages into campaigns. On Plus, their promotion requests come in through one form and inbox.
Your teams
Comms staff plan and edit. Pastors and ministry leaders can view at no extra cost. On Plus, up to 5 team members share the work, and campuses plan with the church-wide calendar.
Planning first
Why should a church communications platform start with the plan?
Because the hard part of church communications is agreeing on what to say, when, and who’s getting it ready.
A planning-first church communications platform puts every ministry’s messages on one calendar, gets them approved, and makes clear who is handling each one, so Sundays aren’t double-booked and requests don’t show up at the last minute.
One plan above everything. The calendar shows every channel’s messages together.
Approval on both plans. A pastor or director signs off on the campaign.
Requests with an owner. On Plus, a ministry request becomes a task with a due date.
Content in one place. Copy, graphics, and links stay with each message.
Inside Communicate
How does Communicate work as a church communications platform?
Communicate centers on a shared communications calendar, with campaigns, approvals, requests, assignments, notifications, and multi-campus planning connected to it.
A calendar at the center
Week and day views show every channel together. Filter by campaign, channel, or ministry, and use the timeline to see campaigns across the season. About the calendar.
Campaigns that span channels
One campaign holds the details, graphics, and copy for an event, plus every message across email, social, and Sunday. Send it for approval when a pastor needs to sign off.
Requests from every ministry (Plus)
Ministry leaders sign in and submit promotion requests through your forms. Your team reviews them in one inbox and can turn an approved request into a draft campaign.
People and notifications
On Plus, assign work with due dates and keep comments and @mentions with it. Notifications arrive in the app and, if you choose, by email.
Every ministry’s messages in one plan.
