More time for people.
Less time chasing information.

Shepherd is a church operations platform. It brings your member records, departments, communication, tasks and projects, calendar, goals, automations, finances and assets into one connected system, so every team works from the same information and each person sees only what they should.

People and member records, branches and departments, email, SMS and Telegram communication, tasks and projects, events on a shared calendar, goals with measurable key results, automations for routine follow-up, giving, expenses and assets, forms, and who on your team can access what.

Pastors, church administrators and ministry or department leaders. Each person sees the parts of Shepherd that fit their role, so a pastor gets the whole picture while a unit leader sees only the areas you give them.

No. It is for churches that want a clearer, more reliable way to manage people, communication, and follow-up-whether your team is small or growing quickly.

Yes. A small church can start with its member records and communication. Larger churches can add branches, departments, tasks and projects, goals, automations and detailed team permissions as they grow, all in the same workspace.

It is a church management platform first, with project and task tools built in. Ministry work stays connected to the people, departments and events involved, instead of living in a separate project tool.

Every person has one record. Departments, communication, attendance, giving and tasks all use that same record, so when you update a phone number or a status once, it is correct everywhere.

Yes. Departments link to your central member records, so one person can serve in several teams without being entered again.

Shepherd works to prevent them. When you add a member who matches someone who already exists, you are warned. When you import a list, it is checked for duplicates against your existing members and within the file before anything is saved.

Yes. You can import a list from a spreadsheet saved as CSV and match its columns to Shepherd’s columns, including any custom ones you have created.

Yes, at any time. Exporting stays available even if a subscription has ended, so your information is never locked away.

Yes. You can create departments, and branches too if your church meets in more than one location. Each department has its own members, leadership and files.

Yes. A member keeps a single record and can be part of as many departments as they serve in.

Yes. Departments have attendance tracking, so you can record and review who was present and when for each team.

Yes. You can assign leadership roles within each department, such as Leader, Assistant Leader and Secretary, so it is always clear who is responsible.

Email and SMS work together from one screen today, with Telegram alongside them, all using the same church data. Coming soon WhatsApp will join them and share the same members, filters and writing tools.

Yes. You write once and send by email or SMS from the same place. Emails go out under your church’s name, and for SMS you can request your church’s name as the sender.

Yes. Choose recipients by filtering your members, for example by department, branch or status, or pick people one by one. You see exactly who will receive a message before you send it.

Yes. You can insert each person’s details, such as their name, so every message reaches them personally, and you can preview how it will look for a specific person.

No. AI helps your team create thoughtful first drafts and work faster. Your people remain in control of every communication and ministry decision.

Yes. A writing assistant suggests subject lines and message drafts for common church moments, and can rewrite a message to be warmer, shorter or more professional. You always review and edit the result, and nothing is sent until you press Send.

Messages are paid for from your Comms Credit wallet, in naira. An email costs ₦1.50 and an SMS costs ₦6.50 for each segment (a text of up to 159 characters is one segment, 160 to 319 is two, and so on). Add any amount from ₦2,000 whenever you need to; what you add never expires, and plans do not include free credit. If a provider rejects a message, its cost is returned to you.

Coming soon Today you can prepare a message and save it, then send it when the time comes. Automatic sending at a scheduled time is on its way.

Yes. Tasks & Projects lets you plan ministry projects, break them into tasks and subtasks with owners, priorities and dates, and link them to the departments and branches involved.

A task is one piece of work with an owner and a date. A project groups related tasks toward one outcome, such as a conference or an outreach, so you can see the whole effort and its overall progress in one place.

Yes. Tasks and projects can be assigned to a department as well as to individual people, so responsibility is clear from the start.

Yes. Each task has a status and progress, with checklists and subtasks for the detail. You can group and filter by status, assignee or department to see what is on track and what needs attention.

Yes. You can set church goals as objectives with measurable key results, assign owners, and follow progress over time.

Yes. A key result can be measured by task completion, so your goal’s progress moves as your team finishes the work behind it.

Yes. Automations run on triggers such as a new member being added, a birthday or a submitted form. They can send messages, create reminders and notify the right leader without anyone having to remember.

Yes. You can add conditions, and combine them with AND or OR, so an automation only runs for the right people, for example only first-time visitors or only one branch.

Yes. A single automation can do several things in order, such as sending a welcome message, creating a follow-up task and notifying a department leader.

Yes. You can record income and expenses with categories and payment methods, tie them to branches, departments or events, and review them on dashboards.

Yes. Giving categories include Tithes, Offering, First Fruit, Thanksgiving, Building Fund and Missions, and you can adapt the categories to how your church gives. Only people you grant financial access can see these records.

Yes. You can keep a register of your church’s assets and record their maintenance, with access controlled separately from your other records.

Your church has its own private workspace. Everyone signs in with their own login, sees only what you have allowed, and your church’s information is kept separate from every other church’s by rules built into the database itself.

Yes. When you invite someone by email you choose their role and can then set their access for each area of Shepherd to None, View, Edit or Manage. Their invitation only works for the email address you sent it to.

Yes. The owner and administrators can change anyone’s access at any time or remove them. The owner can never be removed by others, and billing stays with the owner unless they choose to share it.

You subscribe once for your whole workspace, and everyone you invite is included. Longer plans cost less per month and include more free Comms Credit. You see the exact prices when you choose a plan.

Yes: weekly, monthly, quarterly, biannual and annual.

Each plan includes a few grace days when everything still works. After that your workspace becomes inactive: your team is taken to a renew screen until the subscription is renewed. Nothing is deleted, and everything returns the moment you renew.

Yes, at any time. A new period starts when your current one ends, so you never lose days you have already paid for.

If you have a discount code, enter it when you choose your plan and the reduced price is shown before you pay. Codes apply to subscriptions, and some partner churches have a discount applied automatically.

Start with a church operations consultation. We will discuss your current workflow, priority gaps, and the best path to a connected system.
