Church software built
for small churches.
Big church platforms are expensive, complex, and built for church staff teams. HolyJot gives small and mid-sized churches every tool they need — free to start, simple to run.
Free for up to 50 members · 10-minute setup · No contracts
Big church software is overkill for small churches
Most church management platforms are designed for megachurches with large staff budgets. Small churches deserve purpose-built software — not a watered-down enterprise product.
Free to start, affordable to grow
The tools big platforms charge $200/month for — member management, giving, events, AI, journaling — all included. Free for up to 50 members, $49/month after that.
Set up in 10 minutes
No IT department required. Import your members from a spreadsheet, set up giving, and you're ready. Small church pastors run HolyJot themselves — no dedicated admin needed.
Built for discipleship, not just admin
Unlike big ChMS platforms, HolyJot includes AI-powered discipleship tools, individual journaling, Bible reading plans, and FaithAI — so you can grow your congregation spiritually, not just manage them.
Small church pastors love HolyJot
“We were paying $140/month for Planning Center and barely used half the features. HolyJot does everything we actually need, and our congregation of 38 people uses it for free.”
Pastor James T.
Community Bible Church, TX
“I'm the pastor, secretary, and tech person all in one. HolyJot was the first church software I could actually set up myself in an afternoon without a tutorial.”
Pastor Maria L.
Grace Fellowship, OH
“The journaling and Bible reading plan features are things our members actually use. It's not just admin software — it's a platform that supports their spiritual growth.”
Pastor David K.
Living Word Church, GA
“We tried Breeze and ChurchTrac. HolyJot is the only one that felt like it was designed for a church our size — not a church 10 times our size.”
Pastor Susan R.
New Hope Community, WA
Frequently asked questions
Is HolyJot really free for small churches?
Yes. HolyJot's Starter plan is completely free for churches with up to 50 members and includes member management, events, online giving, sermon library, and FaithAI. No credit card required. Paid plans start at $49/month.
Why is big church software a bad fit for small churches?
Platforms like Planning Center or Realm were built for large churches with full-time administrators. They charge per module, require long setup, and have steep learning curves. Small churches need something simple, affordable, and ready in minutes — that's HolyJot.
What features does HolyJot include for small churches?
HolyJot includes member management, attendance tracking, online giving, events and RSVPs, a sermon library, small group management, individual faith journaling, Bible reading plans, AI discipleship tools, and a FaithAI chat widget for your church website — all in one plan.
How long does it take to set up HolyJot for my church?
Most small churches are fully set up in under 10 minutes. You can import your member list, set up giving, and publish your first event the same day you sign up.
Does HolyJot grow with my church?
Absolutely. HolyJot's Growth plan at $49/month supports unlimited members, unlimited admins, and all features. You can start free and upgrade only when you're ready. There are no long-term contracts.
