For Seventh-day Adventist churches
Every member cared for. Every sermon lived all week.
Sendward puts your congregation on a map, helps elders and callers care for each family close to home, gives every ministry a clear way to plan and report, and turns Sabbath's message into Bible studies, games and activities for every age.
Free for our first pilot churches. We set it up with you.

Your congregation
See where your members live, and care for them close to home.
Import your membership list and every household appears on the map. Your church draws its own parishes, as many as fit your people, and gives each one an elder.
- Parishes your way
- Compare draft plans side by side, balanced by members and driving time, then adopt the one your board chooses.
- See the whole church
- Colour homes by role, ministry, language or activity, or show a heat map of where members live.
- Groups near home
- Sabbath School classes and small groups meet where the drive is shortest, at times that suit their members.
Care
No one slips through the cracks.
Each parish has callers who check in by text, call or email. What they hear reaches the elder, and what's confidential reaches only the pastors.
- Follow-up that keeps going
- Reminders, call lists and a short list of members you can't reach, ready for a home visit.
- Prayer, with consent
- Members choose whether their request goes to the prayer team, who pray for them that week.
- A needs board
- Rides, groceries, small repairs: members ask, and their parish offers to help.
- From visitor to member
- A welcome form for first-time guests, their nearest parish, and someone to follow up.
Membership
Membership records that stay current.
The clerk's work in one place, and members who keep their own details up to date.
- Easy sign-up
- A sign-up page and a QR sign for the lobby. New people are matched to their records before anything is added.
- Invitations and a yearly check
- Members are invited by email or text and asked once a year whether their details are right.
- The clerk's tools
- Baptisms, transfers, moves and members who have passed away, with a history of every change.
- A private directory
- Only for signed-in members. Phone and email are hidden unless a member shares them, and children appear by first name inside their family only.
Ministries and projects
Every ministry plans, the board decides, and everyone sees the impact.
A ministry leader plans a seminar, a fair or a concert in one place. It goes on the board's agenda, onto the church calendar once approved, and to the communications team to promote.
- Plan it fully
- Dates, place and audience, budget, tasks and volunteers, with an AI helper that suggests a plan.
- Board approval
- A printable agenda with one-page summaries; the decision puts the project on the calendar.
- Promotion and sign-ups
- Slides, posts and messages in six languages; RSVPs, registration or free numbered tickets with deadlines.
- Feedback and a report
- Members and visitors rate the event; the AI writes a one-page report from what they actually said.
- Inreach and outreach
- A score counted by people shows how much of your ministry reaches beyond the church.

From the sermon
Sabbath's message, carried through the week for every age.
From each sermon, Sendward prepares what your church needs to keep living it: for the screen, for families, for every age group, and for the community. Pastors review everything before it's shared.
Shown here: “No Turning Back”, a sermon on Lot's escape from Sodom (Genesis 19).

Your community
Serve the neighbourhood you are actually in.
Census facts for the areas around your church and your members: ages, languages, families, needs. Sendward suggests ministry ideas that fit the people who live there.
- Area facts
- Who lives near each parish, in plain numbers and maps.
- Ideas that fit
- Health, family, youth and community service ideas matched to the neighbourhood, ready to become a project.
Leaders
Leaders see the whole picture.
Pastors, elders, the clerk, the office and ministry leaders each see what they need, and nothing they shouldn't.
- The Impact page
- Care, membership, projects and outreach over the last weeks or months.
- Monday summaries
- One email with what's new, what's coming and what needs a decision.
- Roles that fit your church

Built for the church
- Six languages
- English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, French, Portuguese and Russian, chosen by each member.
- Privacy first
- No location tracking. Addresses are seen only by leaders who need them. Each church's data is kept apart from every other church.
- Adventist at heart
- Sabbath-aware calendars, the Adventist Hymnal, Sabbath School classes and Ellen G. White references checked for accuracy.

- Each church has its own web address: yourchurch.sendward.app.
