One place for your whole church to move as one body
Most churches run on an email list, three group texts and a pastor's phone that never stops buzzing. Kingdom-Comms gives every ministry team its own channel, keeps announcements one-way and readable, and keeps pastoral care private — free.
"But all things should be done decently and in order." — 1 Corinthians 14:40

Prayer requests shared further than the person intended
Kingdom-Comms fixes the structure — one space, a channel per purpose, threads that keep conversations findable, private channels for care, and prayer built in. Free, with no per-user pricing.
A rhythm that works
1Monday: leaders post the week's plan in #leaders
2Thursday: rota confirmed and pinned in #sunday-ops
3Sunday: one recap in #announcements with the next steps
Lessons from the field
Pin a 'Start here' post in #general: which channels to join, notification norms, who to ask.
Agree out loud that non-urgent messages can wait until tomorrow. Urgent means a phone call.
Never share someone's story without their permission — sensitive needs go to #pastoral-care.

How to set up team chat for a church or ministry: channels by purpose, announcements that get read, threads, pins, notification sanity and pastoral privacy. Answer-first and ready to copy.
Yes. Channels, threads, reactions, @mentions, pinned messages, search and prayer slash commands are free for churches and ministry teams, with no per-user pricing.
What channels should a church start with?
Start small: #announcements, #general, #prayer, a private #pastoral-care and #leaders, then one channel per active ministry team. Add event channels when you need them and archive them afterwards.
How do we keep pastoral care private?
Use private channels for sensitive needs, share someone's situation only with their permission, use first names in larger channels, and move crises to a phone call with the right leader.
Kingdom-Comms is given away free by Daniel & Katie Ziedins — evangelists on the streets of Hamilton since 2014 and on staff with e3 Canada. If you want to see Canada awakened and the lost brought home, there's a place for you.
