About
Built for churches that care about people, not technology.
Shepherdly is a relational church management tool. We are Christian, built by Christians in Australia, for any Christian church anywhere in the world.
We built Shepherdly because we believe the technology a church uses should get out of the way. It should not demand a training session. It should not look like an airline booking system. It should make ministry easier, not harder, so pastors and volunteers can spend their time on the things that matter. People. Relationships. Prayer. Care.
One tool. Easy to use. Easy to set up. Easy to move to. Easy to leave whenever you want. Much cheaper than the alternatives, with every feature on every paid plan.
What we believe
- Relationship first. Pastoral care is human. Shepherdly does not send messages for you. It does not write pastoral content. The AI we do ship is a help assistant. Nothing more.
- Own your data. Full CSV export is built in from day one. You are never locked in.
- No platform fees on giving. Your money is your money. Stripe Connect sends donations direct to your church bank. We never sit in the middle.
- Simplicity is a moral choice. Every feature we add is a feature your volunteers have to learn. We say no a lot.
- Christian, unapologetically. For any Christian church. We affirm the Nicene Creed. Our statement of faith is online and we mean every word of it.
Built by Christians, in Australia
Shepherdly is built by Christians, in Australia, on a shoestring, for churches who feel priced out of the big platforms. When you open a support ticket, you are emailing a person who cares about your church. When you suggest a feature, we read it. You can even suggest one right now.
“He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.”
