Why we built this

We watched a pastor lose a young family to silence —
and built the tool that could have saved them.

They visited three Sundays in a row. Filled out a connection card. Then disappeared. The pastor found out six months later — through a mutual friend — that they'd quietly drifted away, never feeling truly seen. Not for lack of love. For lack of a system.

Ekkleios was built for that pastor. For the one juggling sermons, counseling, hospital visits, and staff meetings — with no time to manually track who needs a call, who just moved to a new life stage, or which guest hasn't returned. The name comes from ἐκκλησία — the called-out assembly. We believe every person in it deserves to be shepherded with intention.

Pastors who let no one fall through the cracks

✦ These stories are illustrative examples of the outcomes churches experience with Ekkleios. Real testimonials from our beta churches are coming soon.

“Before Ekkleios, I had no way of knowing which guests never came back. Now I follow up within 48 hours and we've retained three families in the last month alone. It's like having a pastoral care assistant who never sleeps.”

“The discipleship tracker changed how I lead. I used to guess where people were spiritually. Now I can see at a glance who's ready to step into service and who needs a pastoral conversation. It's transformed our Sunday debrief.”

“We were paying three separate tools for giving, member management, and communication. Ekkleios replaced all of them at a fraction of the cost — and the discipleship piece is something none of those tools even offered.”

How Ekkleios compares

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Most church tools do one thing well and charge you for five subscriptions. Ekkleios is the all-in-one platform built specifically for pastoral care and discipleship — at a price small churches can actually afford.

Common questions

Things pastors ask us first

Absolutely. We use bank-level encryption and never sell, share, or use your congregation's data for any purpose other than running your Ekkleios account. Your data belongs to your church — always. We are backed up daily to secure cloud infrastructure, and you can export your full data at any time.
Most pastors have their congregation imported and their first giving page live within an hour. We provide a guided setup wizard, a "Church in 30 Minutes" video, and pre-built discipleship pathway templates for major church traditions. If you get stuck, our support team responds within 4 hours.
Yes — we accept CSV exports from all major church management platforms. Our import wizard handles smart column mapping so your people data arrives clean. For Growth and Enterprise plans, we offer a free migration assistance call to get you set up correctly from day one.
Upgrading is immediate and prorated — you only pay the difference. We'll notify you before you approach a limit, and we'll never lock you out mid-month. Church growth is the goal; we won't penalize you for it.
We believe every congregation deserves good tools regardless of their zip code or annual budget. Email us at care@ekkleios.com — we have a pastoral hardship program and regularly offer reduced pricing for rural, bi-vocational, and church plant situations.
Ekkleios is fully responsive and works on any phone or tablet browser without needing an app download. Native iOS and Android apps are currently on our roadmap — join our mailing list to be first to know when they launch.
