Your congregation, in one place.

The whole app, open in front of you a second later — a sample congregation with two dozen made-up families, a full calendar, meal sign-ups, the school's hot lunch, a cookbook, a family budget, and a market it shares with eight made-up sister congregations around the country. No account, nothing to install. You can look at every screen for 14 days; you just can't change anything, because it's the same sample congregation everyone looks around.

So your congregation opens straight away and nothing stops when the 60 days are up. Nothing is charged when you add it. Stripe's page will say $0.00 today, then $1.50 a month: that's one adult, you, because your directory starts empty. As you add families the bill follows the number of husbands and wives. Cancel before day 61 and you're never charged.

If you'd like, yes. Most congregations set themselves up: a checklist in the app takes your admin through each step — your service times and live audio, your families (bring the spreadsheet you already have), your jobs and a second admin, the calendar, and inviting your members last — and ticks each one off when it's done. If you'd rather have a hand, tell us what you have and we'll help you bring in your directory and calendar, set up your jobs and show your admins around. Email carson@5loavesdigital.com, use the form below, or tap Contact support in the app. Your first 60 days are free, so there's time to get it right before the first bill.

The look-around is for seeing how it works. When you start your congregation, your directory is yours from the first minute — type it in or import the spreadsheet you already have, and it takes a few minutes.

It starts empty, so everything in it is yours — the made-up families stay behind in the sample congregation, and there's nothing to clear out. When you first open it, the app asks how you'd like to add your families: enter them yourself, send out one link so each family fills in its own details, or print a sign-up page with a QR code for the bulletin board. Use any of them, or all three. Families who sign up from the link or the page wait for your OK before they're in the directory.

Yes — that's what the look-around is for. Fill in the form below and you're in, no card and no account, seeing every screen working before you pay a cent. If you'd rather have someone walk you through it first, email carson@5loavesdigital.com.

Members of your congregation who have signed in — and nobody else, unless you decide otherwise. If you'd like visitors to have it, an admin can set a visitor code: whoever you give it to sees what a printed directory has — names, phone numbers, addresses and the map — for 30 days. There's no code until you set one. Guests who open a sign-up sheet, RSVP or wedding link see that one page and nothing else, and your congregation's public page — service times, where you meet, the calendar and whatever you mark for visitors — never shows the directory. Other congregations in your conference see your families on the congregations' map: their names and church jobs, and their phone numbers and address unless a family keeps them to itself. Never children, birthdays or notes. Someone there can ask a family for its details, and they reach them only if the family says yes. Your admins can leave your congregation off the map.

Yes — that's what Stays is for, like Airbnb but across the conference. A member lists a house, a cabin, a guest house or a spare room with photos, the house rules, the cancellation policy and a nightly price (or free). Guests ask for their dates or book at once, as the host chooses; the address and door code go to a booked guest the day before. A place already on Airbnb or Vrbo can link its calendars, so a night taken in one shows as taken in the other. Any payment is settled between the host and the guest. A place can be rented out by the month, too.

You choose on each post. Our congregation keeps it inside your congregation. All congregations shares it with members of every congregation on Olive Leaf and with people who sign up for the Olive Leaf Market. Anyone can look through those posts without signing in, but they don't see your name, phone number or email. Your directory is never part of the Market.

Each adult signs in with their own email and password, so everyone sees what's meant for them and nobody shares a password. Parents can give their youth a sign-in of their own. Guests using a sign-up or RSVP link don't need one.

Invite them by email from the back office, or turn on your congregation's join link — put it in the bulletin, a group text, or print its QR code. Anyone who uses the link asks to join, and an admin approves them before they see anything. Once a family is in, the parents can give the other adult and their youth their own sign-ins without waiting on you.

Import it — Excel or CSV. You can also add or fix households by hand any time.

It runs in the phone's web browser, on iPhone and Android. Add it to the home screen and it works like any app from the app store, with its own icon and notifications. It works on computers and tablets too.

The congregation, as one account — usually the deacons, from the congregation's funds. Members never pay to use it and are never asked for a card when they sign in.

A husband or a wife listed on a household in your directory, whether or not they sign in. Children are never counted, however many there are. It's $1.50 a month for each.

Yes, if you'd like one. It's $29 a month, added to your Olive Leaf bill, and your first 60 days cover it too. You make it in the back office, under Website, and the $29 starts only when you put it live. Choose The Hymnal, Evening Light or Cornerstone; each uses your congregation's colors. Then change anything on it in the website editor: drag things where you want them, type over the words, add photos, pages and buttons, and choose your own fonts and colors. It fills itself in from what you keep in Olive Leaf: your service times, where you are, Listen live, today's Bible reading, what's coming up and your notices. You add a welcome, a cover photo and up to 12 pages. The directory and map are never on it. Your website starts at an oliveleaf.app address. For a web address of your own, choose one as you make it; it's bought for $25 a year when your website goes live, and we set it up for you.

Yes. Admins can export or print the directory any time. Your congregation's information belongs to your congregation.
