Stronghold replaces the spreadsheets, the group texts, and the five different apps. Here's the whole toolbox — built for youth ministries, kids ministries, and camps.
People & discipleship
The relational core of your ministry, organized.
People, families, and guardians in one place — with notes, grades, schools, birthdays, and history.
Mark who's here in seconds. Anyone who goes quiet automatically surfaces on a drifting list.
Build groups and life groups, track who's in them, and see who isn't in one yet.
First visit, decision, baptism, in a group, serving, leading — see each student's next step.
Capture every guest and never lose the next step, with reminders when one goes overdue.
Quietly log pastoral care and prayer needs so the right leader follows through.
Assign students and leaders to serve, and keep track of who's plugged in where.
Safety & check-in
Built to protect kids and give parents peace of mind.
Fast check-in with guardian pickup codes, so kids leave only with the right adult.
Uncleared adults can't be assigned to children — the system simply won't allow it.
Allergies and medical notes on the tag, plus a medication log for camps and trips.
Photo, media, and medical consent tracked per student — nothing runs without it.
Quick group headcounts so you always know everyone's accounted for.
Document incidents and safeguarding records properly, with a clear trail.
Minor data is leader-only, never shown in student apps, and never shared between churches.
Camps, events & trips
Everything a camp, retreat, conference, or mission trip needs.
Online sign-ups with the questions you choose, deposits, and a clean roster that builds itself.
Collect medical forms, permission slips, and waivers up front — no more paper chase.
Assign cabins and rooms, balance groups, and keep rooming lists straight.
Split campers into squads or color teams and track them all week.
Run game tournaments with live brackets, matches, and standings.
Day-by-day schedules and announcements that update on every camper's phone.
Location check-ins on the road so leaders always know the group is together and safe.
Guardian pickup verification at the end of camp or the trip home.
Communication
All your channels in one place, with kids kept safe by design.
Group channels leaders can see — safer than an unmonitored group chat, with keyword safety flagging.
Send reminders and updates by text to the people who need them.
Email your whole ministry, just leaders, or one group — from inside your dashboard.
Push announcements to the app and the website in one tap.
Collect prayer requests and make sure they're actually prayed for.
Message the Stronghold team right from your dashboard — no ticket black holes.
Your website & app
A public site and a live app — on your name, not ours.
Import your current site, edit it, add your logo and photos, pick a style, and publish.
Events, giving, prayer, and messages in an app families add to their home screen.
A moderated photo and post feed — fun for students, safe because every post is reviewed.
Parents see their own kids, give, and stay in the loop without seeing anyone else's data.
Daily devotionals and Scripture built into the app to keep students in the Word all week.
Run the operation
The unglamorous stuff that keeps a ministry running.
Your co-pilot quietly flags what needs a human — a drifting student, an uncleared volunteer, a camper with no cabin.
Run youth, kids, and more — even multiple campuses — from one account, each walled off.
Invite leaders by email and set who can see and do what.
Templates pre-load and a getting-started checklist gets you live in an afternoon.
Simple monthly plans, annual options, and per-event camp pricing — manage it all in one spot.
Start free — no credit card, set up in an afternoon, cancel anytime.
