// 01 · The problem

The greatest mission on earth runs on borrowed tools.

There's no shortage of calling or skill. What's missing is builders aimed at the mission.

  1. [ err_01 ]

    Built to sell

    Most software for ministry is designed to win contracts, so the work runs on workarounds.

  2. [ err_02 ]

    You, on the sidelines

    You sit in church every Sunday with skills nobody has asked you to use.

  3. [ err_03 ]

    Everyone alone

    Ministries solve the same problems one at a time, and the fix never leaves the building.

// 02 · Who we are

Developers, designers, and analysts who carry a burden to serve the body of believers, pooling what we know to ship tools any church can use.

// 03 · What we're building

Built for the body.

01/connect

No one falls through

When Rock RMS, Planning Center and the rest talk to each other, the visitor who filled out a card actually gets a call.

02/free

Time back for people

Busywork leaves the ministry team's desk, and those hours go to the people in front of them.

03/reach

Help at 2 a.m.

Apps for care, recovery and discipleship that are there when no one else is awake.

04/multiply

Small team, long reach

Responsible AI that gives a small team the reach it could never hire.

// 04 · How we work

We ship code. The release notes are people.

// 05 · Our foundation

Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.

Ephesians 2:20

We named ourselves after this verse. Frameworks come and go. He is the part that never gets rewritten.
