ShepherdOS gives pastors a complete view of their church — members, attendance, visitors, volunteers, and pastoral care — without juggling five different tools or paying Planning Center prices.
We'll be in touch within 24 hours. Dashboard is live now — no setup needed.
Try the DashboardMembers in one spreadsheet, attendance in another, visitor notes in your phone. Nothing talks to anything else.
A new face shows up Sunday. By Tuesday the follow-up window is closed. No system caught them — until now.
Someone has missed four weeks but nobody notices until they're already gone. Manual tracking doesn't scale past 100 members.
$50–$300+/month for a platform designed for megachurches. Your 200-member congregation doesn't need enterprise software.
Every member and visitor in one searchable list. Contact info, family connections, notes — all in one profile.
Mark present/absent by service. See trends over weeks and months. Know exactly who's been showing up.
Automatically queue follow-up reminders for first-time visitors. Close the loop before the window closes.
Plan services, set sermon notes, and assign roles from a single screen. Sunday prep in minutes, not hours.
Log visits, prayer requests, and sensitive needs privately. Remember every conversation before the next one.
Assign ushers, greeters, worship team, and AV crew to each service. Stop tracking it in a group chat.
Record tithes and offerings, track by type and payment method, and see monthly giving trends — all in one place. Planning Center charges $99/mo for this. ShepherdOS includes it free.
ShepherdOS automatically flags members who've gone quiet — missed services, no contact in weeks — so no one slips through the cracks unnoticed. This is the feature Planning Center doesn't have at any price.
You learn a first-time visitor's name on Sunday. ShepherdOS creates a follow-up reminder automatically — before the window closes on Tuesday.
Someone misses four Sundays and nobody notices until they're already gone. ShepherdOS alerts you before that happens — at any church size.
Record tithes and offerings by type, payment method, and date. See monthly trends. Planning Center charges $99/mo for this — it's included free.
