Follow-up
A family visited three Sundays ago. Someone said they'd call. Nobody knows whether anyone did.
A guest becomes a next step with an owner and a date on it — on a board that shows you what nobody has picked up.
Church software for small congregations · $19 flat
People should not disappear between Sundays.
Notice who is new, who needs follow-up, and who quietly stopped showing up.
SundayBridge keeps your congregation, groups, attendance, giving, serving, and follow-up in one calm place — so the guest from Sunday is still remembered on Wednesday, and the quiet regular who stopped coming gets noticed before they're gone.
The demo is a fully populated sample church — no login, no card, no sales call. Subscribing is one flat $19 a month, month to month, cancel anytime.

Sunday is loud. It's the week after that decides who stays.
A first-time household visits. A greeter means to call. A member slips out the back for a month. None of it is anyone's fault — it just lives in memory, and memory is the first thing a busy week takes. SundayBridge is a place to set the people work down, so it stops depending on someone remembering.
One place
Everything a small church actually runs on, in one home instead of five tools.
Not a bloated platform — the modules a congregation of ninety or two hundred uses every week, kept together so a person's whole story sits on one page.
People & households
A name in the directory, a row in the attendance sheet, and a note on somebody's phone are three fragments of one person.
Individuals gathered into the households they actually live in, each with one profile: groups, serving, giving, care, and a readable engagement timeline.
Attendance
The board asks whether attendance is down. You have a feeling, and a feeling is not an answer.
Record a named roster or a simple headcount, then chart attendance against its own history.
Giving records (optional)
If your church keeps contribution records here, they should stay organized without taking over the rest of church operations.
An optional manual contribution ledger with trends, a goal to track against, and printable year-end statements.
Serving teams
The same four people serve every week. Someone who has never been asked would say yes if anyone asked.
Roles, assignments, and who is actually carrying the load — so serving is scheduled instead of assumed.
Pastoral care
You promised a widow you would visit. It is now three weeks later and it lives only in your memory.
Care cases with comments and history, kept discreetly alongside the rest of a person's record — so the visit that was promised actually happens.
This is what the week looks like
Set it up on a Monday. Use it by Wednesday.
These are the actual screens, and the demo behind them is a real church's week already loaded — people, households, groups, a serving schedule, attendance history, giving, and live follow-up.

Ask AI · included in the plan
Ask your own records a question.
“Which regulars have quietly stopped coming?” “How did giving do this quarter against last year?” Ask in plain English and the assistant reads the records you already keep — attendance, giving, follow-up, groups, and care — then answers in a sentence. No report to build first, no spreadsheet, no export.
- It sees your church and no other. Your data is scoped at the database, not asked nicely in a prompt. No tool the assistant can call even has a field for naming a church — so another congregation's records cannot be requested, because they cannot be addressed. Underneath, the query runs as a read-only Postgres role that returns zero rows if the church isn't set. Your question and the selected summaries needed to answer it are sent to our AI provider to generate the response; they are not used to train its models.
- It never makes a number up. The assistant is forbidden from doing arithmetic. Every figure comes from the same code that draws your dashboard, and for the insight panels any number the model writes that isn't in the allow-list of real figures is thrown away and replaced with a plain template. A wrong number can't reach the page.
- It says when it doesn't know. If your records don't contain the answer, it tells you which tab would show it rather than guessing. If a report is empty, it says the record is empty. It will not speculate about a family's giving or a person's absence.
10 questions a month are included in the one $19 plan — there is no AI upsell. Ask AI is switched off in the public demo, because the demo church's records aren't yours to ask about.
app.sundaybridge.com/ask
Which regulars have quietly stopped coming?
Four people who attended at least twice a month have missed the last three Sundays: Marcus Bell, Priya Nair, and the two adults of the Okafor household. None of them has an open follow-up.
Read attendance trend, congregation summary.
How did giving do this quarter against last year?
Giving this quarter is $71,480 across 138 givers, up 6% on the same quarter last year ($67,410). The giver count is essentially flat — the increase is in average gift, not in more people giving.
Read giving summary.
Is the Alvarez family planning to become members?
Your records don't say. I can see the Alvarez family first visited on July 5 and has attended twice since, but membership intent isn't something SundayBridge stores. The Follow-up tab is where a conversation about it would be recorded.
No tool returned an answer.

Insights · on every page
The paragraph you would have written, if you'd had the time to read the numbers.
At the top of 12 pages, SundayBridge writes a short, plain-language read of what actually changed — the follow-up that has sat a week, the four-week attendance stretch, the volunteer serving every Sunday. You don't ask for it. It's there when you open the tab.
Ordinary code, not a model, decides what is worth pointing at. The model only writes the sentence — and if it writes a number that isn't one of your real figures, that sentence is thrown away and a plain template runs instead. It is architecturally unable to make a number up.

What changed this week
Attendance averaged 88 over the last four Sundays, the highest four-week stretch this year. Three follow-ups have been open more than a week, and one of them — a first-time guest from July 5 — still has nobody's name against it. Two volunteers served every Sunday this month.

Why the record matters
The questions your Sunday leaves behind.
SundayBridge is new and we won't invent testimonials — open the demo and judge it yourself. Here is what a guest notices, what a pastor asks on Tuesday, and what a board asks in the spring, and where SundayBridge already has the answer.
What a guest notices
- Somebody remembered my name on Wednesday.
- The person who said they'd call, called.
- I got invited into a group, not just a service.
What a pastor asks
- Who visited us in the last month, and who followed up?
- Which regulars have quietly missed three Sundays?
- Who is carrying too much serving, and who has never been asked?
What a board asks
- Is attendance actually trending down, or was that one week?
- What did giving do this quarter against last year?
- How many guests became members, and how long did it take?
Follow-up
The welcome that was meant, actually reaching someone.
Every church means to follow up. Almost none of them can say, on a Tuesday, who visited last Sunday and whether anyone called. That gap isn't a character flaw — it's a missing record.
- A guest becomes a follow-up with an owner and a date, not a name on a card in a drawer
- The board shows what's open, what's done, and what nobody has picked up
- A member's absence shows on their profile before it shows in the average
Follow-up owed 9dAbsent 3 Sundays
A step nobody owns doesn't quietly disappear — it stays on the board with its age on it until a person picks it up. That is the whole difference between a database and a church that keeps people.
Reports
Twelve reports, because the elders want numbers by Thursday.
Every module reports. Chart it, pivot it, group it, and export the pivot or the raw rows to CSV — all built from records you were already keeping, so nobody spends Thursday assembling a spreadsheet.

One record per person
The one thing a stack of spreadsheets can't do: keep the whole person together.
A name in the directory, a row in the attendance sheet, an envelope in the giving log, and a note on somebody's phone are four fragments of one person. SundayBridge keeps them as one profile — household, groups, serving, giving, care, and an engagement timeline you can read in a glance before you knock on the door.
Households
People gathered the way they actually live — not isolated rows.
Engagement timeline
Attendance, serving, groups and care in one chronology.
Pastoral care
Cases with comments and history, kept discreet.
Follow-up board
Owned next steps, aged, so nothing goes quiet.
All of it visible in the demo, with a sample church already in it.
Plainly
What SundayBridge is
- One home for your congregation, groups, attendance, gatherings, giving, serving, and follow-up.
- A person's whole story on one profile — household, groups, serving, engagement.
- Follow-up with real owners, so nobody slips through the cracks.
- An AI assistant that reads your records, cannot see another church's, and won't invent a number.
- Twelve reports across every module — charted, and exportable to CSV.
- Bring your directory in from a CSV — a two-step preview before anything is written.
- One flat price, and a public demo that is the trial.
On purpose, and honestly
What it isn't — yet
- No multi-user staff roles or permissions — it's a single login per church for now.
- No built-in email or text messaging. It won't send for you.
- No online giving or payment processing. It records giving; it doesn't take it.
- No child check-in kiosk. The front door is still people and paper.
- Sunday school and reports are read-only. Attendance supports named rosters or a headcount, but there is no Sunday-morning kiosk or label printing.
