Multiply · Digital discipleship for your church

Taking a Sunday faith into a Monday-through-Saturday life.

You preach it once. We multiply it. On Monday morning your people open a daily devotional written from your sermon. On Tuesday their small group opens questions shaped by that sermon and by your church's mission. All week they keep talking to each other in your church app, and by Saturday the devotional is getting them ready for the next Sunday. You do what only a pastor can do... we build the rest around the tools your church already uses.

You preach it once. We multiply it.

The system

Find. Gather. Grow. Go.

Most churches don't have a discipleship process — they have a Sunday and a prayer. Multiply installs the whole pathway (or wires up the one you already have), so a person can move from a search result to a seat, hear the gospel, meet the Savior — and surrender into community, serving, and generosity. And you can actually see it happen.

→01 · Reach

Find

Your city is already searching — for hope, for help, for a church. Multiply makes yours the one they find.

→02 · Sunday

Gather

Digital's job is to get people in the building. The room is where the church happens — everything points there.

→03 · Daily

Grow

Sunday becomes Monday morning: an eight-minute daily rhythm from your sermon — walked with other people, not alone.

04 · Next step

Go

Disciples aren't consumers. The pathway keeps nudging each person to a real next step — a group, a conversation, serving on Sunday.

One sermon · one week

Sunday's sermon, all week long.

Here is one real week at a church running it: the sermon on Sunday, a devotional every morning, questions for Tuesday's small groups, and something for the kids and their parents. Every piece is written from the sermon and reviewed by a person before anyone sees it. What happens in the other 167 hours →

Monday through Saturday

Four ways Sunday keeps going.

YouTube already has your sermon. What most churches don't have is anything that carries it into Monday. Multiply does four things every week, and each one points people back to each other and back to the room on Sunday. The AI never disciples anyone; it's the traffic cop, connecting people to people.

A daily devotional in the Christchurch Miami app
📖

Daily devotionals from your sermon

Monday reaches back to last Sunday's sermon, and Saturday leans into the next one. Eight minutes each morning: Scripture, a devotional in your preacher's own voice, a question to sit with, and a prayer to pray.

This week's small-group questions in the Christchurch Miami app
👥

Small-group guides, shaped by your mission

Discussion questions written from Sunday's sermon and shaped by your church's mission and vision, waiting in the group's own room before they meet. A leader opens it instead of writing one from scratch.

The Reflect step and private journal in the Christchurch Miami app
🧭

Discipleship, reinforced every day

Your discipleship pathway, walked a little each morning. A private journal, a mentor someone can invite in, and a steady nudge toward a real next step: a group, serving on Sunday, a conversation with a pastor.

Groups, circles and conversations in the Christchurch Miami app
💬

Community all week, with in-app chat

In-app chat for circles and small groups, so Sunday's conversation keeps going on Wednesday. Every group room names its leader at the top, and anything reported goes to a real person who can act on it.

Custom church app & website development

Built around the tools your church already uses.

None of this asks you to switch systems. We design and build your church app and website ourselves, then connect them to what you already run: your church management system, your small groups, your events and your livestream. Most of our churches live in Planning Center, so that is where we start. You own the code, and every account it runs on is in your church's name.

How we build church apps →

We ship software beyond Multiply too: Bezalel (AVL control for live production), Aaron (your AI voice), Steady, and Garde. When your church needs something custom, it gets built — not brokered.

Right now, someone in your city is asking Google — or an AI — about hope, grief, faith, God. And most of the answers they find won't come from any church at all. We're not competing with other churches. We're competing with the world's answers — and your church belongs in that conversation.

Before Sunday · be found

Your city is searching. Be the church they find.

Before anyone can be discipled, they have to walk in. Multiply solves the digital problem first: when someone in your city brings their hardest question to Google — or to an AI — your church is there with an answer. At Christchurch Miami, that's not theory: people have found a blog post in search, shown up on Sunday, and ended up serving in ministry.

The proof

38 vs 35

A 200-seat church now outscores Miami's biggest churches — including multisite megachurches — in search. The city finds the small church first.

Search → Seat → Savior → Surrender

The ranking isn't the win. The person in the room is.

Christchurch Miami has documented the whole arc more than once: a search result on a Tuesday, a new face in front of the gospel on Sunday — and, in time, a changed life and a name on the serving schedule. The seat was never the goal. The Savior is. Serving and generosity are what surrendered lives do.

"I preach once on Sunday. By Tuesday it's a devotional on someone's phone, questions in a small group, and a Bible story my kids' families watch together. I didn't hire anyone. I just preach."

James Drake · Lead Pastor, Christchurch Miami

White-glove by design

You hire Jeff. You get Jeff.

A pastor who builds. Jeff has spent 25 years in the room — from the biggest stages in the American church to founding theChurch.digital — and he writes the software himself. The person who understands your mission is the person who ships your system.

7

A roster of seven

Never more than seven churches at once. Yours isn't one of forty accounts — it's one of seven, with the attention that implies.

1

No handoffs

The person who scopes your work is the person who does it. No account managers, no ticket queues, no "let me check with the team."

✓

Built around you

Your languages, your volunteers, your ChMS, your room. On-site when it matters — Miami roots, serving churches nationwide.

Three of seven seats are taken — Christchurch Miami, theChurch.digital and Wayside Baptist Church. Four are open, and we're looking for churches ready to multiply.

The honest math

Less than the hire you were about to make.

The full-time route
$65–90k+ / year

One communications or digital hire — salary, benefits, overhead. One skill set, one person deep, and the content still depends on their week.

A Multiply seat
A fraction of one hire

The whole system — website, app, content engine, kids pipeline — plus a senior operator across production, comms, and digital. Scoped to your church in the first conversation, which is free.

"We could never have hired for this. One part-time contractor, no new staff — and we publish more every week than churches with whole communications departments."

James Drake · Lead Pastor, Christchurch Miami

Every church's scope is different, so there's no rate card — but the promise holds at every size we serve: Multiply costs meaningfully less than one full-time hire, and does the work of several.

The name is the brief

Humility recedes. Disruption asserts.

Pastors shouldn't worry about content. You bring the sermon — the thing God called you to — and we multiply it quietly behind the scenes, so what your city sees feels bold, clear, and unmistakably yours. The "humble" is how we work: embedded, low-ego, in service of your mission. The disruption is what we refuse to accept — a church invisible to its own city, and a Sunday that ends on Sunday.

Questions

The honest FAQ.

What is Multiply? +

A digital discipleship system that takes a Sunday faith into a Monday-through-Saturday life. From your sermon it builds daily devotionals, small-group guides shaped by your mission, a discipleship pathway and in-app community rooms, delivered in a custom church app and website we build around the tools you already use. It still helps your city find you in search, but the point is what happens to your people between Sundays.

How do daily devotionals reinforce the sermon? +

Each sermon becomes six devotionals, Monday through Saturday, written from the message in your preacher's own voice. The first five reinforce what was just preached; Saturday's prepares people for the sermon coming next. Each takes about eight minutes: Scripture, the devotional, a reflection question and a written prayer, in every language your church serves.

Can small-group materials follow our church's mission and vision? +

Yes. Every group guide is written from Sunday's sermon and shaped by the mission and vision statements you give us, so a Tuesday discussion reinforces both the message and who your church is trying to be. The guide waits in each group's room in the app before they meet, so a leader opens it instead of writing one.

Is there chat inside the church app? +

Yes. Circles and small groups each get an in-app room so the conversation keeps going between Sundays. Every room names its leader, there are no unread badges pulling people back to a feed, and anything reported goes to a named person who can act on it. It is live at Christchurch Miami today.

Will it work with Planning Center and the tools we already use? +

That's how it's built. We design and develop the church app and website ourselves and connect them to what you already run: your church management system, groups, events and livestream. Most of our churches use Planning Center, so that is where we start. You own the code and every account is in your church's name.

Will it still sound like our church? +

Yes — that's the whole design. Everything is generated from your pastor's actual sermon, in your church's actual voice, and a human reviews every piece before it ships. The soul was never in the typing; it's in the sermon. We just carry it further. As Christchurch's pastor put it: "I was afraid it would sound like a machine. It sounds like me — because it starts with what I actually preached."

Isn't AI-powered discipleship impersonal? +

The AI never disciples anyone — people do. Think of it as a traffic cop: it multiplies the pastor's message and routes people toward each other — into circles, groups, and serving — and it frees your staff from production work so they can spend their hours on actual relationships.

What does it cost compared to hiring staff? +

A fraction of one full-time hire — and it does the work of several. Every build is custom to your church, your processes, and your church management system, so it gets scoped in the first conversation, which is free and is not a sales call.

Who actually does the work? +

Jeff. Humble Disruption is intentionally capped at seven churches at a time. The person who scopes your work is the person who does it — no account managers, no ticket queues, no junior handoffs.

How do we start? +

Bring us one sermon. We'll run it through the system and show you the week it becomes — your message, your passage, your pastor's voice — before anyone signs anything.

Thirty seconds

Is Multiply right for your church?

Does someone preach a sermon most Sundays?

Is your weekend attendance roughly 100–1,000?

Is running your digital nobody's full-time job?

Multiply was built for exactly your church. A weekly sermon to multiply, a room worth filling, and no one whose whole job is digital — that's the church this system serves best. Four of seven seats are open.
