Joyned for Churches
The safe communication platform helping retail teams stay connected and efficient.
Joyned supports churches in their mission to grow and strengthen authentic relationships. The app provides a safe space for people to connect with each other and the wider church community.
Why are Church Communications Apps Needed?
Churches are busy places. They play a vital role in the lives of their members and the local community. From multiple services and small groups to youth work and church-run events, there are countless activities filling up the calendar. Keeping on top of the communication admin job can be a full-time job.
The GDPR-Compliant Solution for Church Groups
Most churches use management software such as ChurchSuite or Planning Center to email their congregations. However, the job of organising volunteers and managing small group meet-ups often results in a quick group text. It’s not usually GDPR-compliant and it can be a lot of work to keep up with the flurry of replies.
Joyned makes group communication simple and ensures GDPR compliance for churches. Whether you’re organising volunteers or gathering a prayer team, Joyned is a GDPR-compliant app with the functionality you need to nurture authentic relationships across all the groups you’re part of.
Opening the Door to Authentic Church Relationships
The Platform to Build a Community
We understand first-hand the challenges many churches face, especially when it comes to effective communication. Whether you have a large congregation with multiple services or a small but thriving church community, staying connected with everyone on both an organisation and personal level can be difficult.
After all, there’s a lot that goes into a Sunday morning. From the logistics of worship rehearsals to the offer of prayerful support, effective communication is key.
Joyned solves the problem of connectedness within church communities. The app provides a safe space for people to gather across various groups. Whether serving as part of the volunteer team, joining a weekly small group, or looking to meet new people, Joyned is a space to keep in touch with all the church groups you’re part of.
I would definitely recommend Joyned to churches both large and small who want to improve their internal communications in an easy and GDPR compliant way.

Joyned has been a game changer for our team! It’s really useful being able to create groups specific to services and events which means that not everyone is spammed with information. I would definitely recommend Joyned as a communication tool to other churches and teams.

Having a safe communication platform for our Lifegroups has meant prayer requests and needs are freely shared with one another, deepening friendships and allowing discipleship to happen.
Joyned has made the stress and worry of streamlining internal communication a thing of the past. Not only are the staff grateful for Joyned, but the volunteers and congregation members are too.

Joyned has improved our organisation's communication by enabling collaboration while maintaining privacy. Given its success, we are exploring how we might roll it out to more departments.
Features to Serve Your Church
The Church Community App Delivering Compliance without Compromise.Here are just some of the features that make Joyned a great tool for churches.
Data Protection & GDPR Compliance
Churches process a huge amount of personal data. GDPR compliance ensures that data is protected, which means the people behind the data are protected, too. Joyned is a fully GDPR-compliant church communication software that keeps app users safe, always.
Church communities are vibrant and varied, with many different age groups taking part in volunteering and events. Joyned keeps app users safe by preventing the sharing of personal information such as telephone numbers and email addresses. The app also does not permit any personal messaging. So, people of all ages are protected within the app.
Seamless Integrations
Joyned integrates seamlessly with other church management software like Churchsuite and Planning Center. The app sits alongside these tools, syncing user data so that communications can be streamlined across all platforms and communities that you are part of.
This means if you’re part of the prayer team, you will automatically be added to the prayer team group within the Joyned app, making it easy to pick up where you left off.
Flexible Permissions
Joyned ensures everyone has the appropriate access and permission controls within the app. As your church communities grow and evolve, Joyned lets you set granular permissions. This allows you to control what groups can and cannot do.
For example, you may want to create a group specifically for church-wide announcements. In this group you could turn off commenting permissions so that members can only read your post announcements. Flexible permissions let you communicate with your groups in the way that you want to.
Temporary Groups
Joyned allows you to create temporary groups. This means you can create groups that expire once the service is over, making it easy to keep track of communications for specific events.
For example, you may want to create a group for the Sunday morning worship team. The group can chat about song line-ups and discuss rehearsal times within the app. And once the Sunday service is over, the group will be automatically deleted. This is a hugely convenient feature for churches and a great way to organise your weekly serving teams without becoming overwhelmed by the admin backlog.
Access to Church Resources
Unite your congregation and keep everyone up-to-date by sharing the link to last week’s preach, promoting a Bible study, and so much more. We know it’s easy for life to get busy and this means church can fall to the wayside. Joyned makes sure nobody misses out on the latest preach or church-wide announcements. Whether you’ve got people on the fringes or congregation members who are sick and unable to attend in-person, Joyed keeps everyone connected into the life of the church.
Church Management Support
Simplify the process of event management by scheduling and sharing information about church events and upcoming activities. Whether you’re organising worship rehearsals, planning a church weekend away, or hosting a ladies’ night, Joyned helps you manage all communications across various groups with ease.
Standalone Communications
Joyned provides a dedicated space for all your church communications. So, you can access all church-related content within the app without worrying that messages will get lost among your personal communications. This is a particularly useful feature for church leaders who are often responsible for a lot of church–related admin during the week. Having everything to do with church stored within Joyned makes it easy to keep church and personal communications separate.
