Unseen Church helps churches, ministries, and organizations see the season each of their people is in. You know your people. What no attendance report can tell you is what any one of them is carrying this week. Your people answer in their own words, by text, and leadership gets a plain-language read of who is ready, who is stretched, and who nobody has spoken to, plus the structure to act on it.
The One Question is the open door. You choose one question a season. Your people text to join, answer in their own words, and tap the season they're in. Every answer comes back to a person at your church who knows their name. It starts at $29 a month, by your typical Sunday attendance.
The Lens is a free 90-second experience by text. A pastor or church leader walks through it on their phone to see what their own people would see. There is no app, no account, and no cost. It is the simplest way to experience what Unseen Church does before starting anything.
The Martha Project has two seasons. The Discovery Season is your Inventory Read: after Launch Sunday, your people text to join and answer questions on their phones over three days, and within thirty days you see everyone you invited: their gifts, their skills, when they are free, who is ready to lead, and the season each person is in. The Activation Season is the structure for your follow-through, 90 days of moving people further into the life of your church.
The read asks little of you: one Launch Sunday, a QR code on the screen that starts a text, and your Scorecard arrives within days. Your people text to join, and each person gets a short, private experience on their phone. The season that follows asks for one person. A point person on your team (a staff member, an elder, or a trusted volunteer) opens the portal each Monday, sees who to reach, and hands each team leader a private link to their own people. Unseen Church builds the portal, the plan, and the words to say. Your team does the reaching, from your own phones. If you need more hands, Activation Support adds an Activation Specialist from our team.
Every project is priced by your typical Sunday attendance: everyone you invite, not only those who respond. Projects are a one-time fee. The One Question is monthly, in three-month seasons. The Solomon Project is a one-time fee per cohort, by the leaders you plan to invite. The Lens is always free. Pricing for each project is listed on that project's page. If the cost is what stands in the way of The Martha Project, the Church Activation Fund may be able to help, based on your application and available funds. Apply to the Fund.
The Andrew Project surfaces who in your church is ready to invite someone, and what is holding them back. The Saul Project reveals the spiritual health beneath the attendance, framed as what your people choose to show you. The Solomon Project develops your highest-capacity leaders, the people everyone leans on and no one checks on. The Journeys meet a single moment: a text check-in for a camp, a retreat, your staff, or a Sunday.
Real tools and real people. The tools: a short text experience for your people, a clear read of who they are and the season they're in, and a portal your team works from each week. The people: your own team leads the 90-day Activation Season, and if you want more help, an Activation Specialist from our team works alongside yours. What we set up belongs to your team and keeps working after the season ends.
Churches and ministries whose leaders sense there is more capacity in their people than their current structure can access. It fits established churches carrying everything on the same fifteen volunteers, growing churches that want to activate their people, and leaders preparing for a campaign, a launch, or a season of growth. It is not built for a church that wants its people fed on Sunday and left alone the other six days.
No. Your people join by texting in themselves, and what they receive comes in your church's name. We never market to your congregation or message them on our own. The data is yours. Dollar figures describe the room as a whole, never an individual person.
Unseen Church was built by people who have spent 20+ years inside local churches, large and small, planted and established. It is the system they wished had existed in every church they have been part of.
