For pastors and the churches they lead

You see your people. We help you see the season they’re in.

Unseen Church helps pastors hear from every person by name, see the season each one is in, and give them a next step that fits. And your people get something rare: the experience of being known.

Start here

Start with one question.

One question a season, sent by text, every answer by name.

The One Question on a phone: Cedar Ridge Church asks, What is God doing in your life right now? with a box to answer in your own words
What your people see. Shown with sample data. Your church's logo and name show here once you're live.
Sound familiar?

The same faithful few carry the load. Everyone else is waiting to be asked.

Your people are gifted and willing. Without a way to see the season each person is in, the ask goes to whoever said yes last time. The willing go unasked, and the tired keep serving.

Not just knowing more about your people. Helping them feel known.

Every person gets a chance to share who they are and what they're carrying.

“I feel seen, I feel heard, I feel like I belong.”

Hannah M., after three days in The Martha Project
Start here · The One Question

One question, once a season. Every answer by name.

Ask your whole church one question by text. About a minute on their phone, no app and no login. Every answer comes back by name, with the season each person is in. From $29 a month.

  • “What is God doing in your life right now?”
  • “How are you, really, this month?”
  • “What are you carrying right now that nobody at church knows about?”
  • “What would you want your pastor to know this week?”

Pick one of ten, or write your own.

Where it leads

You know your people. Do you know the season they're in?

Some are ready to lead. Some are running on empty. Some have been waiting years for someone to ask. Your read shows which, and we sit down with you over it to choose the next step.
