Church App Builder: Create Your Church’s Own App with AI

Q: Do we need a developer to create a church app?

No. You describe your church, the AI builds the first version, and your own team or volunteers edit sermons, events and notices in a visual editor.

Q: Can members give or donate in the app?

Yes, through the online giving page you already use, which opens inside the app. Donations and payments stay with that service.

Q: Can we share sermons in the app?

Yes. Add each sermon as video, audio or text to a feed in the app, and send a push notification when a new one is up.

Q: Will the app be in the App Store and Google Play?

Yes, as a real native app published under your church’s own developer accounts. The Publish Assistant prepares the listings and guides you through the submission.

Q: Can a church with several sites use one app?

Yes. Show each site’s service times, map and events in the same app, and update them yourself whenever they change.

Turn your church into a mobile-first experience: share sermons, manage events, send updates and engage your congregation – all through your own branded church app powered by Choicely.

Book a demo

Describe your church, and see the first version in minutes

Tell the AI App Builder how your church gathers, and it builds a working prototype in about two minutes. From there you can shape features like:

a sermon library with video and audio, listenable on the commute
a home screen that leads with this week's service times
quick links to giving, events and small groups

Keep editing in the drag-and-drop editor for as long as you need. This should look like your church, not a template. When it is ready, the Publish Assistant guides you through publishing it on the App Store and Google Play under your church's own accounts.

One place your congregation can rely on

Put Sunday's times at the top and keep them right. Publish the sermon the same afternoon, in video and in audio, and it is on every phone straight away — Choicely apps update in real time, so there is no App Store review between you and your congregation. Quick links carry the rest: giving, the calendar, small groups, and your existing YouTube channel if that is where the services already live.

Create a church app your congregation will actually open

To create a church app, describe your church and what the app should do, for example service times, sermons and events, and let an AI church app builder make the first version. Then add your own photos, texts and branding, and publish it to the App Store and Google Play under your church’s own accounts. With Choicely the first version takes minutes, and you can start free.

What a church app does for your congregation

Service times and locations. This week’s services, a map to each site, and changes the moment you make them.
Sermons. Each Sunday’s sermon as video, audio or text in one feed, so members who missed it can catch up.
Events and groups. Youth evenings, choir practice, small groups and seasonal services, with a push notification when something new is on.
News for members. Prayer requests, volunteer rotas and notices in a members’ area behind a login.
Giving. Your existing online giving page opens inside the app, so donations stay with the service you already use.

Build a church app in three steps

Describe your church. Its name, services, sites and what matters most to your members.
Shape it in the editor. Add photos, sermons and events; volunteers can update content without any coding.
Publish. The Publish Assistant prepares the store listings and guides you through submitting under your church’s own Apple and Google developer accounts.

Church mobile app builder or church app development?

Church app development usually means hiring a developer or an agency and paying for every change. A church mobile app builder lets your own team build and update the app. Choicely is a builder: free to build and test (150 credits a month, plus 100 bonus credits when you sign up), and publishing to both stores starts at $25 a month, plus Apple’s and Google’s developer fees. To compare with a custom build, try the mobile app cost calculator.

What Choicely does and doesn’t do

✅ Native iOS and Android apps your team edits, live without an app-store update
✅ Push notifications, events, sermon feeds, polls and a members’ area
✅ Your existing giving, booking or registration pages inside the app
❌ No built-in donation or payment processing: giving stays with the service you already use
❌ No built-in church management (membership records, rota scheduling): keep the system you have and link it
