One platform. Everything your organization needs to run a thriving community.

CommunitiesOS is a community platform built specifically for churches, nonprofits, professional associations, and membership organizations - not creators or course sellers. CommunitiesOS brings your members, content, events, courses, and communications into one place - under your brand, at a flat monthly price, with no fees on anything your organization collects. Whether you're setting up a community for a church, a nonprofit, a professional association, or a membership organization, the setup process is the same: straightforward, guided, and faster than you expect.

Step by step

How to Set Up Your CommunitiesOS Community - Step by Step

Learning how to set up an online community platform doesn't have to be complicated.CommunitiesOS breaks it into five steps.Most organizations complete all five steps and go live in three to five days.Some do it in one.

Step 1: Choose the plan that fits your organization.

Start with Foundation at $97/month, Growth at $297/month, or Authority at $497/month. All three plans include unlimited members, zero transaction fees, and no contracts. You're not locked in - cancel or upgrade at any time. Annual billing saves you two months.

Step 2: Add your name, logo, and colors.

Your community launches under your brand, not ours. Upload your logo, set your colors, and name your community in minutes. Members see your organization - CommunitiesOS stays invisible. No designer or developer required.

Step 3: Set up your channels, groups, and content.

Create the spaces your organization needs - private groups for committees or ministry teams, announcement channels for leadership communications, courses for training or programming, and events for your calendar. Every space is role-controlled: you decide who sees what.

Step 4: Bring your existing members in.

Already have a member list? Import your contacts directly - no manual re-entry. Send branded invitation emails from inside the platform. Members join, set up their profiles, and are inside your community in minutes.

Step 5: Launch and start engaging.

Once your structure is in place and your members are in, you're live. Post your first announcement, schedule your first event, open your first discussion. Most organizations complete all five steps in three to five days. Some do it in one.

Who it's built for

Built for organizations, not creators.

CommunitiesOS is purpose-built for organizations that run structured communities - not solo creators selling courses. If you're managing a church congregation, a nonprofit membership program, a professional association, or a membership organization with committees, chapters, or ministry teams, the platform was designed around your specific structure and vocabulary.
