Know every person in your church, and notice when someone is missing.
Sycomore keeps your people, services and follow-up in one place, and works with the WhatsApp groups your church already uses, so leaders spend Sunday with the congregation instead of a clipboard.
30-day free trial on every plan. No card needed to start.
Named for the sycomore tree Zacchaeus climbed so he could see Jesus, and was seen by Him. Luke 19:4–5

Sound familiar?
Most churches know these problems well. Each one is something Sycomore was built to take off your plate.
- What churches deal with
“We don’t notice someone has stopped coming until months later.”
How Sycomore helpsSycomore notices for you. Anyone who missed Sunday gets a short, personal note, and if they miss several weeks in a row their leader is asked to call. One Who Needs Care list shows everyone waiting on a call or visit.
- What churches deal with
“Visitors come once, and we never see them or their details again.”
How Sycomore helpsVisitors sign themselves up on a phone, tick what they’d like, and hear from their pastor with your WhatsApp group and links. Each visitor is handed to someone who follows up, with a due date.
- What churches deal with
“Attendance is a clipboard and a head count.”
How Sycomore helpsFamilies check in from their phones with one tap, or automatically when they arrive if they choose. Volunteers handle the rest at the door, and attendance becomes real numbers you can report on.
- What churches deal with
“Every Sunday we worry about who picks up the children.”
How Sycomore helpsEvery child gets a pickup code. Only an adult with the code takes them home, and any exception is logged.
- What churches deal with
“Planning the month means endless calls, and someone always gets booked twice.”
How Sycomore helpsThe preacher’s schedule, monthly program, order of service and class schedules are built together, with a warning when anyone is double-booked. Whoever is serving gets a reminder before their day.
- What churches deal with
“Our records live in five spreadsheets, a notebook and somebody’s WhatsApp.”
How Sycomore helpsPeople, households, ministries and certificates live in one place. When a leader hands over, the next one starts with the full picture instead of starting over.
- What churches deal with
“The year-end report takes weeks of counting.”
How Sycomore helpsReports fill themselves in from your records, and every number shows the people behind it, so leaders can trust it.
- What churches deal with
“Nobody knows who borrowed the chairs, and repairs get paid without anyone approving them.”
How Sycomore helpsChurch items are signed out with a photo, and late returns are chased. Repairs are reported, quoted and approved, and the financial secretary is told only when the job is done and ready to pay.
- What churches deal with
“Our messages feel like mass mail, and half the church never sees the announcement.”
How Sycomore helpsAnnouncements reach members’ phones and share to WhatsApp in a tap. Texts greet people properly, as Elder Johnson or Mrs Carter, in your leader’s name.
What a week could look like
Here is a rhythm many churches start with. Every day and time is a suggestion: choose your own in Settings, pause what you don’t need, and Sycomore runs the rest in your church’s time zone.
- SundayDuring service
Families check themselves in from their phones. Volunteers handle the rest at the door.
- MondaySuggested: 8 AM
First-time visitors can get a welcome from their pastor, and each one is handed to someone who will follow up.
- TuesdaySuggested: 6 PM
Anyone who missed Sunday can get a short, personal note. If they miss several weeks in a row, their leader is asked to call. You choose how many.
- WednesdayMidweek
Prayer meetings and ministry gatherings, with attendance kept by the people who lead them. Prayer requests, anonymous if members like, reach their pastors any day of the week.
- ThursdayPlanning
The preacher’s schedule and order of service come together whenever your team plans, with a warning if anyone is booked twice.
- FridayAnnouncements
News and events reach members’ phones when you post them, with sign-up for the whole household. One tap shares them to your WhatsApp groups too.
- Every daySuggested: 9 AM
Birthday greetings in your leader’s name, if you want them, reviewed before anything is sent, with a ready-made post for your WhatsApp group.
More than a list of names
The everyday work of looking after a church, from the first visit to the fellowship hall calendar, handled in one place.
Works with the WhatsApp groups you already use
Announcements, events, birthday posts, the preacher’s schedule, monthly programs and class schedules go to your WhatsApp groups in one tap, already written. Leaders can message a member or the financial secretary straight from Sycomore.
Visitors welcomed from day one
New people sign themselves up, tick what they’d like, and hear from their pastor with your WhatsApp group and links.
Checked in as they arrive
Members who opt in are checked in when they walk in. Families check in together with one tap.
Children handed to the right adult
Every child gets a pickup code, and only someone with the code takes them home.
No one slips through
Missed services, visitor requests and care visits become tasks with a person and a due date, with reminders until they’re done.
Rooms without double-booking
Reserve the hall or a classroom, repeat it weekly, and let members ask. Clashes are caught before they happen.
Church property cared for
Know what the church owns and who borrowed it. Problems get reported, quoted, approved and paid with the financial secretary in the loop.
Giving that goes straight to your church
Members give by bank account or card, once or every week or month, in the app or from a QR code in the lobby. Gifts land in your church’s own Stripe account, bank gifts keep fees low, givers can cover the fee, and receipts and year-end statements are ready for you.
Your rhythm, not ours
Choose when welcome texts, missed-service notes and birthday greetings go out, or pause them.
Every location connected
Members move between locations with their household, and leaders see the whole picture.
Prayer requests, sent in confidence
Members send a prayer request from the app, anonymously unless they choose to share their name. It goes straight to their presiding elder or campus pastor and their district or senior pastor by phone and email, and only they can read it.
Everyone sees what they need, and nothing more
