One place for a faith community to gather, pray, attend, and stay in touch

A congregation does not stop existing between services. When the only way to belong is to be in the room, the people who cannot get there quietly stop belonging at all.

Where they were

The client's community was spread across a social group, a ticketing site, a streaming tool, and a separate shop. Organizers were rekeying the same event into three places and still had no single view of who was coming. Members who attended from home were treated as an afterthought every time.

What we told them

The brief asked for the social feed and the events side to be built as two products that linked to each other. We said no.

Splitting them would have recreated the exact problem they hired us to fix — the community in one place, the gatherings in another — so we held the launch back until both lived in one app with one membership behind them.

What shipped

Shipped: a community feed, a prayer wall, live prayer and worship sessions for people at home, event hosting with ticket sales and registrations inside the app, a door check-in panel that validates each ticket once, attendance visibility from announcement to event day, member notifications, and a merchandise store. Organizers never enter an event more than once, and never reconcile a guest list across two systems.

“SonetCraft is a phenomenal team who delivered an exceptionally complex sales page and database project. They showed immense grit and determination, sticking with the project until the very end. Not only highly skilled but incredibly fair, never taking advantage of opportunities to do so. They built the plan, managed the talent, and provided excellent quality assurance. A true professional outfit that makes sure you get to your end goal. A treasure chest of skill and communication! Highly recommended.”
