Teaching generosity without pressure
Money is the one subject a church can neither avoid nor afford to handle badly. On asking for it in a way that leaves people freer than it found them.
ONE APP
Membership, online giving, check-in, volunteer service planning, livestream, events and your member CRM — church software for small churches in one subscription, one login, one record per person, under your church's name.
Publish your own PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, Revolut and Wise links on one giving page. Harvest is never in the flow — no platform fee, nothing held.
Announcements, polls, photos and comments in a space that belongs to you — without a Facebook group deciding who sees Sunday's post.
Church check-in system and attendance tracking that lands in your CRM — visitors and members scan, enter a first name, and they are done. No app, no account.
Private channels and direct messages inside your app — coordination and pastoral care in the same place as everything else.
Build Sunday’s run sheet with your team — every item, how long it runs and who is doing it — then invite those people and see who has said yes.
Stream on YouTube, keep the congregation inside your app: prayer, chat, sermon notes and giving one tap away.
Ticket types, waitlists and group booking — church event registration with a confirmation QR at the door.
Register, check in or fill a form and a contact appears with the history attached. One person, one row — deduplicated by email, with every gift you record landing on it. Connect Gmail and email them without leaving the dashboard.
SUNDAY, SORTED
Build the order of service once. Harvest emails everyone on the rota with one link to accept or decline, flags double-bookings, and shows who still has not answered. (Service Planning ships on the Ministry plan.)
IN THEIR POCKET
Your church goes home with them. The live service, Scripture, their group and your voice, one tap away.
Fund the ministry.
Online giving for churches with a 0% Harvest platform fee — church donation software that publishes your own PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, Revolut and Wise links. Campaigns and pledges included; Harvest takes no cut.
Publish your own PayPal, Cash App, Venmo, Zelle, Revolut and Wise links on one giving page. Harvest is never in the flow — no platform fee, nothing held.
Church donation software should not sit between the giver and the church. Most platforms sit between a church and the gift and take 2–5% of it, forever. Harvest does not sit there at all — a member taps the account your church already uses, and the money goes to it. There is nothing for us to route, nothing to hold and nothing to take a share of. You pay a flat subscription and nothing else.
Run a campaign with a goal, a cover image and a progress bar — on a public page that carries the accounts your church actually uses and opens without an account.
A building fund needs a figure the whole church can see moving. The campaign page carries the total, the goal and the story behind it — and beneath them, the accounts your church already takes gifts through. What comes in you record against the total, so the number on the page is one you can stand behind rather than one a processor decided.
A pledge campaign takes the commitment now and follows it until it is met — a ledger of pledged against paid, donor by donor, with the status worked out from the numbers.
Churches don't just need a progress bar — they need 300 families committing $1,000 over two years. A pledge campaign tracks exactly that, with a status derived from the numbers, never a stale manual field.
Run Sunday.
The plan, the team, the door and the stream, ready before anyone arrives.
Build Sunday’s run sheet with your team — every item, how long it runs and who is doing it — then invite those people and see who has said yes.
The run sheet stops being a document somebody emails round on Thursday. Timings add up on their own, so moving one item moves everything after it, and the person on the door finds out by email instead of by group chat.
Church check-in system and attendance tracking that lands in your CRM — visitors and members scan, enter a first name, and they are done. No app, no account.
The bar for a first-time visitor is “point your camera at this.” No app, no account, no line at a kiosk — and attendance quietly becomes data.
Stream on YouTube, keep the congregation inside your app: prayer, chat, sermon notes and giving one tap away.
Someone watching alone at home types a prayer request — and a real person at the pastor’s console marks it prayed. Lead with this, not the video player.
Ticket types, waitlists and group booking — church event registration with a confirmation QR at the door.
A first-time visitor opens the event page on their phone, registers with no account and no app, and has a confirmation with a scannable code before they have put the phone down. On the day, somebody at the door scans it. Nothing else has to happen.
Gather your people.
A feed, a prayer wall and a place for every group, all in your app.
Announcements, polls, photos and comments in a space that belongs to you — without a Facebook group deciding who sees Sunday's post.
No algorithm decides who sees Sunday's announcement. You own the audience — every member, every post, every time.
Private channels and direct messages inside your app — coordination and pastoral care in the same place as everything else.
Pastoral conversations stay inside your ministry's own system — not a personal phone number, not a third-party app.
Channels and direct messages are on Ministry only — Individual and Small Team don't have a Messages tab at all.
Post in one line, pray with one tap — and requests clear themselves after 30 days, by design.
The person who asked can see that 14 people prayed. That is the whole emotional payload — and the wall stays current, because everyone is told it clears in 30 days before they post.
Know every person.
Church membership software and CRM in the same record — one person, one row, and every admin sees only their piece.
Register, check in or fill a form and a contact appears with the history attached. One person, one row — deduplicated by email, with every gift you record landing on it. Connect Gmail and email them without leaving the dashboard.
Anyone who's used church software has a database full of duplicate Bob Smiths. Harvest merges app members and manual contacts into one row on a stable link — so a person's giving history never scatters across three records.
The CRM itself is on every plan, Forever Free included; how many people it holds is what scales — 500 on Forever Free, 500 on Individual, 2,000 on Small Team, 4,000 on Ministry.
Twenty-three granular permissions per admin, plus location- and region-scoped access — so the check-in lead never sees donation records, and the treasurer never sees prayer requests.
Churches run on volunteers, and trust boundaries between them are a pastoral concern, not just an IT one. The person running check-in doesn’t see giving; the campus pastor sees their campus and posts to their city, and nothing else.
Build any form from nine field types, share a link or QR, and every response matches or creates a contact in your CRM — with a history, not just a row.
Google Forms gives you rows. This gives you people. Every connect card, volunteer signup and prayer card becomes a contact with a history — automatically, deduplicated by email.
Grow disciples.
Courses, the full Bible and sermon notes on their screen while you preach.
Paste a YouTube link and AI drafts the lesson, outline and quiz — you edit and publish. Finishers earn a verified certificate.
Paste a link to a teaching video you already recorded. AI watches it and hands you an editable lesson — title, summary, outline, quiz and a scripture reference. Nothing is auto-published; nothing is invented.
Eight translations, highlighting and one-tap sharing — so nobody ever has to leave your app to read scripture.
The whole point of a church app is that your congregation opens it. Give them a reason to switch to another Bible app and you've lost them — so scripture lives right here.
Sermon prep and team docs — nested, autosaved, exportable — and one tap from your congregation's screen the moment you're preaching.
Mid-sermon, one button pushes your open outline to the livestream. Every viewer gets it beside the video under a Notes tab. End the stream and it clears itself.
Docs and sermon notes are on Small Team and above. Pushing notes to a live stream needs Small Team or above, because that is where livestream itself starts.
“I believe a church shouldn't have to pay hundreds of dollars every month across a stack of subscriptions just to run. Through Harvest, we're helping small and medium-sized churches get on with the mission God has given them.”
Matei Bumb, Founder, Harvest
