For churches & children's ministry

Church management that puts people first.

Families, secure kids & student check-in, groups, events, giving, and a white-label app — youth-first, and ready to run your whole church. Less admin, more ministry.

From $29/mo · Kids' data safe by design · Built by Dr. Hines

What it runs

The whole people side of your church

One login instead of a database, a check-in kiosk, a texting tool, and a website builder.

People & family CRM

Every member and family in one place — with notes, groups, and history you can actually find.

Secure kids & student check-in

Guardian pickup codes, allergy and medical tags, and background-check gating on every classroom.

Groups & discipleship

Small groups, classes, and life groups, with milestones that show each person's next step.

Events & registrations

Sign-ups, classes, camps, and trips — with forms, payments, and a roster that builds itself.

Attendance & follow-up

See who's plugged in, who's drifting, and follow up with first-time guests before they slip away.

Communication

Text, email, announcements, and prayer requests — reach the whole church or just one group.

Website + app + giving

A white-label site and an app on your brand, where families find events, give, and stay connected.

Multi-ministry & multi-site

Run youth, kids, and more — even several campuses — from one account, each walled off.

Built on trust

Kids' data, handled right

For a church, safety isn't a feature — it's the whole ballgame.

Background-check gatingUncleared adults can't be assigned to children — the system simply won't allow it.
Secure check-in & pickupGuardian codes mean a child leaves only with the right adult, every time.
Leader-only minor dataChildren's information is never shown in member-facing apps or shared between churches.
Consent-gatedPhotos, media, and medical info run only on explicit, tracked consent.

Youth-first, whole-church ready

Built where ministry is hardest — then grown to fit the rest

Most church software treats youth as an afterthought. Stronghold was built for the messy, relational front lines of student and kids ministry first — which is exactly why it handles the whole church so well. If you can keep a youth group from falling through the cracks, the rest is easy. See pricing →
