Free church app

    Your church's own app, free

    Members get one place for groups, messages, giving, check-in, sermons, and events. It carries your church's name and logo, installs from your church website in seconds, and is always up to date.

    B1 member app showing church groups on a phone

    Installs in seconds

    Your app lives at your church's B1 address and installs straight to the home screen, full-screen with an unread badge.

    • iPhone: open your church site in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen
    • Android: one-tap install from Chrome
    • Desktop visitors see a QR code to send it to their phone
    • Members sign in with email, Google, or Microsoft

    Groups and messaging

    Small groups, ministries, and teams stay connected without a separate chat app.

    • Browse groups and request to join
    • Group chat plus leader-only announcements
    • Event RSVPs: Going, Maybe, or Can't go
    • Private messages, with a minimum-age setting you control

    A directory you control

    Members can find each other and reach out by message, call, or text. You decide who sees what.

    • Search with photos and profiles
    • Visibility levels: everyone, members, groups only, group leaders, or staff only

    Notifications people actually get

    Push notifications, an in-app bell, and email, with optional text messages.

    • Each member picks per-type settings and a daily email digest
    • Quiet hours so nobody is buzzed at midnight

    Giving, check-in, and serving

    The same app handles the things members do every week.

    • Give once or set up recurring gifts, and see giving history
    • Check in the whole household before arriving
    • See serving assignments and sign up to volunteer
    • Register family members for events, including paid events

    Sermons and the Bible

    Keep people connected to teaching during the week.

    • Sermon library and live stream with chat
    • Built-in Bible reader and verse of the day
    • Staff choose which tabs appear and what visitors see before they sign in

    Church app questions

    How much does the church app cost?

    Nothing. The member app, hosting, and every feature are free. B1 is built by Live Church Solutions, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

    Does the app show our church's name and logo?

    Yes. Members install it from your church's B1 website, and it carries your church's name and logo.

    Do members need to install anything to use it?

    No. It works in any browser, and members who want an icon on their home screen can install it in a few taps.

    Does it work offline?

    The app needs an internet connection; it does not store content for offline use.

    Be one church. All in one place.

    Set up your church in minutes — your app, website, giving, and check-in are waiting.

    No credit card required — there's nothing to charge. Free forever, from a ministry that wants you to keep it that way.
