Everything you need to know about the Gather app and running your church on Gather.
What is Gather?
Gather is a free app for your daily walk with God (Bible, reading plans, prayer and devotionals) that also keeps you close to your church: service times, live streams, events, announcements and giving. Churches run all of it from one dashboard.
Is Gather free?
Yes. Gather is free for churches and their members.
Do I need an account to start?
No. Open the app and start reading today's verse and devotional straight away. You only sign up when you want to save highlights, join a church or give.
Does it work on low data?
Yes. Gather is built for slow and costly connections, and you can keep reading the Bible offline once a translation is downloaded.
Which languages does Gather support?
English and Yorùbá today, with Igbo, Hausa and Pidgin on the way.
Is Gather only for big churches?
Not at all. Gather is made for churches of every size, from a small growing congregation to a network of parishes.
How does my church get started?
Create your church account from the For churches page, or book a demo and our team will help you set up. If your church is already on Gather, just download the app and find it.
Is giving on Gather safe?
Payments are processed by licensed payment providers, and every gift comes with a receipt you can find in the app at any time.
How much does Gather cost?
Gather is free for churches and their members.
How long does setup take?
Setup is guided. After you create your account, a short Setup checklist walks you through your profile, service times, giving and inviting your team.
Can we use Gather across several branches?
Yes. Networks connect a headquarters, regions and parishes, with roll-up reports and announcements that reach every branch.
Do our members need to download anything?
Members and visitors use the free Gather app. First-timers can fill in the welcome card on the web without installing anything.
Who can see our church's data?
Only the people you give access to. Every team member gets a role, so ushers, finance and pastors each see what they need.
