The private community platform for churches that keeps your congregation connected between Sundays.
CommunitiesOS gives your congregation a private, branded online community where members stay connected between Sundays - no ads next to your pastor's message, no algorithm suppressing your announcements, no data given to Facebook.
No ads - ever · Full data ownership · US-based support
CommunitiesOS is the private community platform built for churches and faith communities. It gives congregations a branded, invite-only space where members stay connected between Sundays - with no ads next to pastoral content, no competing causes shown to congregation members, and full data ownership. Unlike Facebook Groups, Slack, or course-creator platforms, CommunitiesOS is built specifically for faith-based organizations running communities for their congregation. Plans start at $97 per month with unlimited members and zero transaction fees.
CommunitiesOS was built for the church that needs a private community its congregation actually uses - without handing it to Facebook or a platform that was never built for faith communities.
Facebook Groups were not built for your church.
Your congregation is scattered across Facebook and email while your posts reach fewer than 5% of them. The rest scroll past ads for alcohol, gambling, and content your church never approved appearing next to your message.
Ads next to your pastor's message
Every post your pastor makes sits next to ads Facebook chose - alcohol brands, gambling apps, and competing religious content your congregation did not ask to see. CommunitiesOS contains zero ads, so your pastoral message is always the only message.
Most members never see your posts
Facebook's algorithm suppresses organic reach to fewer than 5% of your group members, so most of your congregation never sees your posts. Your midweek devotional, volunteer sign-up, and urgent prayer requests deserve a direct line to everyone in your congregation.
No privacy for pastoral care
Mental health conversations, family struggles, and grief support require a genuinely private space - not a public platform built for engagement and advertising. Facebook Groups were designed for reach, not confidentiality, and your congregation's vulnerable moments deserve better.

One private home for your entire church.
CommunitiesOS gives your congregation a private, branded space that reflects your church's values, not an advertiser's. Your name, your logo, your domain - your members always see your church, not a platform.
Your church's brand - not ours
Your custom domain, church logo, and brand colors are what members see from their very first click. CommunitiesOS stays in the background - your church brand is always front and center.
Private and values-aligned
Invite-only access means only your congregation can see your content, with no ads and no public feed visible to outsiders. Your community reflects your church's values, not those of an advertising platform.
Organize your entire congregation
Create separate groups for your small group platform - ministry teams, youth ministry, women's ministry, and elders each with their own private space. Add dedicated channels for announcements, prayer requests, and sermon discussion.
Announcements that reach everyone
A dedicated announcement channel sends a push notification to every congregation member the moment you post, with no algorithm in between. Every service update, volunteer alert, and urgent notice reaches your entire congregation.
Live meetings for every ministry
CommunitiesOS Go Live lets you host congregation broadcasts, private board meetings, and small group video sessions with no Zoom required. Every ministry group gets its own meeting room at no extra cost.
Discipleship courses and content
CommunitiesOS is a discipleship platform that delivers structured courses and Bible study series directly inside your congregation community. Content drip-unlocks on a schedule so members progress at the right pace.
Your congregation is live in days - not months.

Every meeting your church needs - built in.
Sunday broadcasts for your whole congregation, private board meetings for your leadership, and small group sessions for every ministry team - all inside CommunitiesOS and all included in every plan.
Congregation broadcasts
Stream your Sunday service, special events, and major announcements to your entire congregation with no participant cap and no time limit. Members join on web or mobile with no extra app or login required.
Leadership meetings
Host private video meetings for your pastoral team, elders, deacons, and board members, completely separate from the congregation. Every session is recorded and downloadable so no leader misses a discussion.
Small group sessions
Run video meetings for every small group, Bible study, and ministry team inside their own dedicated private channel with controlled access. Your women's ministry, men's ministry, and youth groups each meet separately.

What $97 per month means for a church budget.
Most churches are already paying for tools that scatter their congregation - Zoom for meetings, a Facebook Group they do not own, and an email platform that reaches fewer than half their members. CommunitiesOS replaces all of it with one private space your church owns. CommunitiesOS serves churches across all 50 states at a flat $97 per month. No per-member fees. No transaction fees. No algorithm. Pricing verified April 2026.

Common Questions About
CommunitiesOS for Churches.
What is the best community platform for churches?
CommunitiesOS is the best community platform for churches because it is built specifically for faith communities rather than course creators or corporate teams. It gives congregations a private, branded space with no ads, no competing content shown to members, full data ownership, and zero transaction fees. Unlike Facebook Groups, which show congregation members ads and competing causes, CommunitiesOS keeps all content within the faith community's own branded space. Plans start at $97 per month with unlimited members.
Can churches use Facebook Groups for their community?
Churches can use Facebook Groups, but the platform creates real problems for faith communities. Facebook shows congregation members ads and content that may conflict with church values directly next to pastoral posts. Post reach is suppressed to fewer than 5% of group members by the algorithm. All member data belongs to Facebook, not the church. And pastoral care conversations in Facebook Groups have no true privacy. CommunitiesOS gives churches a private community with no ads, guaranteed reach to every member, and full data ownership.
Is Slack good for churches?
Slack works for internal church staff communication but is not built for congregation community. Slack's free plan deletes message history after 90 days, making it unreliable for ongoing pastoral conversations. It has no announcement channel with guaranteed delivery to all members, no private channels purpose-built for small groups and ministry teams, and no live meeting tools for services or gatherings. Congregation members find Slack feels like a workplace tool, not a faith community - which significantly reduces engagement.
Can churches use Skool?
Churches can use Skool but will find it was not built for faith communities. Skool is designed for course creators monetizing an audience - its gamification leaderboards, creator discovery feed, and course-monetization architecture conflict with how a congregation operates. Churches need private ministry channels, pastoral care spaces, and a community identity that reflects their values - not a platform built for coaches selling online courses. CommunitiesOS is built specifically for faith communities where Skool is not.
Does CommunitiesOS work for small churches?
Yes. CommunitiesOS works for churches of any size - from a congregation of 50 to a church of 50,000. Every plan includes unlimited members with no per-member fees, so the monthly cost stays the same whether your congregation grows from 100 to 1,000 members. Small churches benefit from the same private branded community, live meetings, small group channels, and announcement tools as large churches - at the same $97 per month starting price with no upgrade required to access core features.
