For churches and ministries

Your church management system runs the office. Kannect runs the community. Events, announcements, small groups, giving, and members in one place, and every message reaches every person who opted in.

What Kannect commits to your congregation

100%

Reach. Every announcement reaches every member who opted in, not the fraction a feed selects.

5 min

To launch. One ministry can be up and running before the next meeting.

The church stack, retired

One platform instead of four

Most ministries run on a Facebook group for discussion, a mailing list for the weekly update, a page on the church website that nobody can edit, and a spreadsheet for the roster. Kannect retires all of it.

Facebook Groups

Group discussion

A space for your people, where posts are not ranked or sold against.

MailchimpConstant Contact

Weekly announcements

Push notifications and email that reach every member, not just the openers.

SquarespaceWix

Ministry pages

A branded site with your groups, events, and resources, included.

Sheets

Rosters & serving teams

One connected member record across groups, events, and giving.

The problem

Your church system serves the office, not the small group

Church management software is built for the staff: giving records, membership rolls, scheduling. The people actually holding the community together, the small group leader and the ministry volunteer, get nothing and end up on Facebook and group text.

Group leaders left on their own

The small group leader gets no tools from the church system, so they start a group chat, a Facebook group, and a spreadsheet, and maintain all three.

Announcements nobody sees

The service time changed, the retreat deadline moved, and a social feed showed it to a fraction of the people who needed it.

Newcomers who never connect

Someone visits, likes it, and has no obvious way into a group. Without a next step in their hand, they drift before anyone notices.

Built for your church

Everything a ministry needs to stay connected all week

One platform for groups, events, communication, giving, and the volunteers who make it all run.

Small groups and ministries

Every group, ministry, and serving team gets its own space, its own members, and its own leader, all under one church.

Announcements that land

Send to the whole church or to one group. Push notification and email, delivered to everyone who opted in.

Events, retreats, and camps

RSVPs, ticketing, reminders, and check-in for everything from a potluck to a weekend retreat.

Giving at 0%

Nonprofit donations processed at 0% platform fee. Give once or recurring, from the same app members already use.

Sermons and resources

Study guides, sermon notes, reading plans, and forms, in one place your congregation can actually find.

One record per person

Groups, attendance, serving, and giving on one member record, so nobody falls between two systems.

Start small

One ministry can start without the whole church switching

You do not need a staff decision or a migration plan to try this. A small group leader, a youth pastor, or a womens ministry can set up on Kannect this week, run it for a season, and show the rest of the church what it looks like. If it works, the church grows into it. If it does not, nothing else was disturbed.

No migration, no committee

Your church keeps its existing system for giving records and membership. Kannect handles the part it was never built for: the weekly life of a group.

Grow into the whole church

When more ministries want in, add them under one church organization. Leadership sees across every group while each keeps its own space and members.

How it works

Three steps to a church that stays connected

1

Set up your church or ministry

Start a 7-day free trial and build your community hub in under five minutes.

2

Bring in your people

Invite members, organize them into groups and serving teams, and let newcomers find you on Kannect Discover.

3

Stay connected all week

Run events, send announcements, and share resources. Members get every update in the Kannect Community Hub app.

Why Kannect

Independent. Verified. Built for you.

Two things make Kannect different from the tools ministries usually settle for.

Independent and founder-run

Bending Spoons, a holding company known for buying consumer apps, raising prices, and cutting support, now owns both Meetup and Eventbrite. Kannect is independent and answers to the communities it serves, not to an acquirer.

Verified and spam-free

Every organization joins through a credit-card-verified trial that stops bots and fake listings. Your congregation is surrounded by real organizations, not scams.

Proof

A congregation that hears you

100%

Of members reached

Every announcement reaches every member who opted in. No algorithm decides who hears from you.

0%

Taken from giving

Nonprofit donations are processed at 0% platform fee, plus standard Stripe fees.

0 ads

Around your congregation

No advertising near your people. Your community is never monetized.

Questions

Church questions, answered

Can a single ministry or small group use Kannect on its own?

Yes. A small group, youth ministry, or womens ministry can run on Kannect without the whole church switching systems. Leaders set up their own group and invite their own members.

Can we organize ministries, small groups, and serving teams separately?

Yes. Each ministry, small group, and serving team gets its own space with its own members and its own messages, all under one church organization.

What does Kannect charge on giving?

Nonprofit donations are processed at 0% platform fee, plus standard Stripe fees. Paid events, programs, and memberships carry a 2% platform fee.

How much does Kannect cost?

Plans start at $23/mo billed yearly, or $29/mo month to month. Every plan includes a 7-day free trial, and a credit card is required to start it, which keeps Kannect verified and spam-free.
