Ekkleo. The Called-Out Community

Church management built
around the congregation.

Right now church life runs through a dozen WhatsApp groups, a spreadsheet and someone's memory. Ekkleo brings it all together. Simple enough for your members, structured enough for your church administration.

Why Ekkleo

Church life deserves better than a patchwork

Churches weren't designed to run on fragmented tools. Ekkleo exists to bring your whole church, people, programmes and pastoral care, into one coherent home.

The patchwork most churches inherit

  • A dozen WhatsApp groups nobody can keep track of
  • A spreadsheet that only one person understands
  • A separate giving tool that doesn't talk to anything
  • Paper rotas that get lost or forgotten
  • Pastoral notes scattered across inboxes and notebooks

What Ekkleo replaces it with

  • One app for every member: channels, events, sermons, giving
  • A shared directory your whole leadership team can trust
  • Giving with Gift Aid built in and HMRC-ready exports
  • Rotas that fill themselves by skill and availability
  • Pastoral care tracked from first visit to full membership

One platform, not a patchwork

Channels, events, giving, rotas, pastoral care and content, all in one place, all talking to each other. No more switching between five tools.

Built for the congregation, not the database

Most church software treats your people as records. Ekkleo gives every member a home, a place to belong, participate and grow between Sundays.

Safeguarding and compliance built in

DBS tracking, child check-in, Gift Aid declarations, and GDPR consent. Not bolted on, but woven through every feature from day one.

AI that actually helps, not just decorates

Sermon summaries, discussion questions, rota auto-fill by skill, and early-warning pastoral alerts. AI doing the admin so your team can pastor.

What Ekkleo covers

Four jobs. One coherent church environment.

A broad platform should not feel like a catalogue of features. Ekkleo organises its capabilities around the outcomes churches and people recognise.

BELONG

A home between Sundays

Member profiles, ministries, and community channels that keep your congregation connected all week, not just on Sunday morning.

For Your Congregation

What every member gets

Not a database. A living community.

See it in action

A product tour, not a feature list

Don't take our word for it. Here's what Ekkleo actually looks like. The same screens your pastors, leaders and members will use every week.

Church Channels

Church channels, not WhatsApp groups

Replace your dozen WhatsApp groups with scoped church channels. Church-wide announcements, ministry-only discussions, and leaders' team conversations, all in one app.

  • Church-wide, ministry-only and leaders' channels
  • Pinned messages and threaded replies
  • Read receipts and @mentions
  • No more lost messages in WhatsApp

Escalate to Senior Pastor

Leaders can flag urgent pastoral needs directly to the Senior Pastor. No one falls through the cracks.

Pastoral Intelligence

Know when a sheep
is wandering from the flock.

Ekkleo quietly watches real engagement — attendance, giving, prayer, serving, community participation — and tells you who hasn't been around before they disappear. No spreadsheets. No guessing. Just a pastoral prompt when someone needs a call.

Real signals, not vanity metrics

  • 🙏Prayer participation
  • ❤️Giving & tithes
  • 📅Event attendance
  • 🤝Volunteer serving
  • 💬Community posts & comments
  • 📺Sermon & content engagement

Every signal is real activity from your church platform — never gamified points or badges. Just honest data about who's showing up.

Automatic monthly prompts

Each month, Ekkleo checks every member. If someone's been gone too long — and hasn't already been contacted — it creates a pastoral follow-up and lets your team know.

Creates a follow-up care record for each drifting member
Notifies your pastoral team with a monthly summary

"What man of you, having a hundred sheep, if he has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open country, and go after the one that is lost, until he finds it?"

Luke 15:4
