Joyned for Church Communication
The Church Mobile App Making Connection Safe, Compliant, and Joyful
Joyned keeps church communications clear and compliant. Organise your Sunday teams, send church-wide announcements, and integrate comms with Church Suite and Planning Centre. Onboard your church in minutes, not months, even for less tech-confident members.
Joyned is the church mobile app creating a safer, more structured way to build strong, connected communities.
Powerful Integrations
Connect seamlessly to your existing tools.
Church Comms Shouldn’t Feel This Hard
Most churches rely on WhatsApp or traditional church communication tools like email and Facebook. However, these tools weren’t built for ministry. Leaders end up sharing their personal phone numbers, conversations get noisy or missed, and safeguarding and data privacy concerns are heightened.
Joyned brings everything into one central space. It secures your communications, gathers teams well, and provides a dedicated area separate from your personal messages.
Joyned is the app for churches wanting safer communication; from the small but vibrant congregation to the thriving multi-site church.
A Church Communication App Designed to Deepen Your In-Person Community
Church leaders often tell us that the best communication happens in person. That’s where connections are made, relationships are strengthened, and community grows. And we couldn’t agree more. Nothing replaces face-to-face conversation, a prayer shared after the service, or a moment of encouragement over a coffee.
But the reality is that ministry doesn’t pause when Sunday ends. That’s why having the right communication tool matters.
Joyned doesn’t replace real relationships; it protects and deepens them. By giving your church a clear way to stay connected between gatherings, Joyned supports richer, calmer, and more meaningful in-person moments when you come together again.
The Church Mobile App Trusted by Leaders
Many pastors describe Joyned as the best church communication system they’ve used because it’s built for ministry, not group chats.
“Joyned has made the stress and worry of streamlining internal communication a thing of the past. Not only are the staff grateful for Joyned, but the volunteers and congregation members are too.”
Robby Lewis, Hillsong
“I would definitely recommend Joyned to churches both large and small who want to improve their internal communications in an easy and GDPR compliant way.”
Graham Pyman, Jubilee Church

What Churches Love About Joyned
Staying connected with everyone can be difficult. Joyned helps open the door to authentic church relationships. Because our story began in the church, we understand first-hand the communication hurdles many congregations face.
Whether you’re serving as a volunteer, leading worship, or meeting with your weekly smallgroup, Joyned brings all your groups together in one safe, secure space. Here’s why churches love using Joyned:
GDPR-Compliant
Churches process a huge amount of personal data and GDPR compliance ensures this data is protected, which means the people behind the data are protected, too.
Joyned prevents the sharing of personal information such as telephone numbers and email addresses, protecting users of all ages within the app.
Secure WhatsApp Alternative
WhatsApp is fast, familiar, and often the first port-of-call for church comms. However, convenience quickly turns to non-compliance, when personal information is shared, messages lack visibility, and there is no audit trail.
Joyned is the secure, seamless alternative to WhatsApp helping churches stay connected, accountable, and in control. It’s easy to onboard, GDPR-compliant, and scalable as your communities grow.
Church Suite and Planning Centre Integrations
Joyned integrates seamlessly with other church management software like ChurchSuite and Planning Center. The app sits alongside these tools, syncing user data so that communications can be streamlined across all the platforms and communities that you are part of.
Reduces Mental Load
Keeping on top of church communication can feel like a full-time job. From constant notifications and lengthy threads to direct messages sent to your private number, staying up-to-date can quickly become overwhelming. Joyned acts as your community app, keeping people connected throughout the week without noise or distraction.
Some of Joyned’s Most Popular Features
We’re proud that thriving church communities, such as Hillsong, are using Joyned to strengthen their church-wide communication. Here are some of the app’s features they love most:
Separate Church Comms from Personal Messages
Joyned keeps church communication in its own dedicated space, so messages never get lost among family group chats or work updates. It reduces overwhelm, protects your boundaries, and helps pastors and church leaders reclaim time and headspace.
Expiring Groups
Whether it’s a holiday club, event team, or term-time ministry, not every group needs to last forever. Joyned lets you create time-bound groups that expire automatically, helping you reduce clutter, stay organised, and keep your comms up-to-date.
Schedule Messages
Avoid last-minute scrambles or forgotten reminders. With scheduled messages, you can plan ahead and let Joyned deliver updates at the right time; whether it’s a Sunday rota, a prayer request, or a small group reminder.
Time Notifications
Respect everyone’s time while keeping them informed. Joyned’s notification schedule helps reduce disruption by letting you choose when messages go out. This feature honours personal boundaries, without important updates being missed.
Easy Onboarding
Joyned is simple enough for every age group, from tech-confident young people to older members who prefer things to be straightforward. Churches can onboard with ease and our team will support you every step of the way to make sure the transition goes smoothly. Getting your whole church set up is easier than you might think.
