ShefaLign Sanctuary Fund

Church software and field gear that fund a sanctuary.

Tools for the harvest. Funds for the house.

My church, River of Life, has a shell space intended for a sanctuary. Two things here help build it: church software that other churches can use for an offering to the River of Life building fund, and field and outdoor gear where 100% of profit goes straight to finishing that space and paying off the church, dollar for dollar. Once River of Life's need is met, the gear's 100% keeps going — to building funds at other churches.

$0of $4,000,000 goal

To pay off River of Life and finish the sanctuary build-out. Every offering moves this — and every gear order once the store opens.

Give to the building fund

Opens River of Life’s own giving page — please mark your gift for the building fund. Gifts go straight to the church.

100% of profit

Every dollar of profit goes to church building funds — starting with River of Life, then rolling to other churches once our need here is met. None of it is a cut for ShefaLign.

A real, named place

River of Life — my church. There’s a shell space inside the building intended for the sanctuary.

Church software

Database apps for your church. Your offering helps build ours.

I built two database apps for River of Life — one to keep track of everyone we pray with in the community, one to run the whole church. They're available to other churches. Instead of a price tag, your church gives an offering to the River of Life building fund for the use of the app.

Soul Winning Database

Everyone you pray with in the community — in one grid, with follow-up that doesn't get forgotten.

A full-width database of the people your church meets and prays with: who they are, where you met them, whether they said the sinner's prayer, whether they were baptized in the Holy Ghost, and whether they've visited yet. It's the app River of Life uses every week.

One grid — name, phone, address, where you spoke, date, said the prayer, Holy Ghost, visited church, OK to text — with a green check or red x on every yes/no
A Harvest Dashboard: counts, filters, and a where-we-met-by-stage sheet
A said-the-prayer tally for outreaches where people pray but give you no information
QR visitor check-in — a first-time visitor scans it and their first visit is marked
Sign-in accounts with roles (viewer, commenter, editor, admin) and a change log of who did what
Optional follow-up texts to people who said yes to texts, set up per church

River of Life's live copy (team sign-in)

The picture and the demo are the Soul Winning app itself, with made-up people — nothing is saved or texted, and reloading resets it. River of Life's own copy is private: team sign-in only.

Live demo — shared version in the works

Church HQ

Everything a church runs on, in one place — and the member app that goes with it.

One app for the whole church: people and households, a Next Steps pipeline, soul winning, pastoral care, kids check-in, attendance, worship planning, volunteers, groups, events, facilities, prayer, giving, budget, sermons, messaging, and reports.

People and households, with a Next Steps pipeline from first visit to fully connected
The Soul Winning Database built right in
Kids check-in with security labels, attendance, volunteers, and worship planning
Small groups, events and registration, facilities, and a prayer wall
Giving and statements, budget and expenses, sermons and media, messaging, and reports
A phone-style Member App for the congregation
A "View as" menu — Admin, Lead Pastor, Church Staff, Ministry Leader, Volunteer — that shows what each role sees

Try the Church HQ demo Get it for my church

Everything in the demo is made up, and it's saved only in your own browser — nothing goes to a server. The version where your whole team shares one database is being built; ask to be first in line.

Try it first

Both apps open as demos with made-up sample people, no account needed. Click around before you ask me for anything.

An offering, not a price tag

Your church's use of an app is covered by an offering to the River of Life building fund. Tell me about your church and we'll talk about what fits — you give through River of Life's own giving page, marked for the building fund.

Your own private copy

Each church gets its own copy with its own sign-in and its own data, set up for you — your people's information is never mixed with another church's.

Want one of these for your church?

Tell me about your church and which app you’re after. I read every message myself and reply within one business day.

The remodel

What this is actually funding.

A shell space becoming the sanctuary, today’s sanctuary becoming the youth room, and a fellowship hall and outdoor gathering space with a vision for what comes next. Every “after” is a concept rendering — the plan, not a promise of exactly how it turns out.

The sanctuary

The shell inside the building — the main thing this campaign is funding — and the sanctuary it's meant to become.

Concept rendering of the new sanctuary with mezzanine seating and a sound booth — The plan — mezzanine seating and a sound booth.

Another angle inside the unfinished shell — Another angle inside the shell.

Concept rendering of the new sanctuary stage and baptistry — The plan — the stage and baptistry.

The youth room

Once the new sanctuary is built, today's sanctuary becomes the youth room.
