A different kind of church software company

Our mission is to build a more connected Church. After more than a decade of working with 10,000 churches and 220,000+ church and ministry leaders, we’ve established some strongly held beliefs which shape our unique company culture and radical commitment to loving our customers, partners, and team members.

We believe in...

Friendly software

Church software has been user un-friendly for a long time. It’s no good having lots of features if your leaders don’t use them. Your team will love Flocknote because it’s both effective and easy to use. 

Ditching advertising and social media

We’re bummed the internet has become a giant billboard and marketplace that harvests and sells your personal information. No thanks! So we don’t do online advertising, nor social media. And we take privacy very seriously.

Growing by referrals

Flocknote’s rapid growth has been almost entirely due to referrals from current customers. We like it that way. It means we only get more customers if we take exceptional care of the ones God has already given us. We also deeply enjoy taking the long view, building long-term partnerships with every church we get to serve.

Prayer

Prayer is essential and we’d be lost without it. We rely on prayer to guide our daily work, and we especially love praying as a team each week for our customers — who are doing the most important work on the planet.

Making it simple to reach your flock

There’s no need to rely on Big Tech, social media, or app stores to reach your flock. There are much better ways to reach way more of your people — like email and text messaging.

“Communications-first” church software

The most important software a church chooses is a good communication tool (not a database or fundraising tool that later added on communication features). Because once you can properly reach and lead your people, everything else gets way simpler.

100% Employee ownership

Every Flocknote owner is an employee, and every Flocknote employee becomes an owner. Inspired by Distributism and Catholic Social Teaching, we believe strongly that allowing workers to earn genuine ownership of the means of their production is better for the worker, the company, the Church, and society as a whole.

Work that nourishes (rather than competes with) our families

We love working hard and doing excellent work, but we don’t do it at the expense of our marriages, children, and families. Too many companies reward that kind of sacrifice. It’s not worth it. When you support Flocknote, you’re supporting a company that doesn’t outsource labor and who cares for its workers—offering unique benefits, ownership in the company, and a work environment supportive of marriage and family.

Growing in virtue

Our team is committed to growing in virtue, loving Jesus, and helping each other to heaven. To maintain this commitment and protect our company culture as we grow, we developed our 10 Guiding Principles and Flocknote Mission Book. Check them out below.

Our 10 Guiding Principles
01
THY WILL BE DONE
Are we completely giving ourselves over to God’s will? And embracing the high adventure of His plan, over our plan, wherever that may lead?
02
LOVE OUR PEOPLE
Are we loving our people above all else and as if they are Jesus in disguise? Are we detached from things, money, power, honor and comfort, so we are free to love people most fully? Are we helping each person take one step closer to reaching their own dreams in this world and becoming a saint in the next?
03
DELIGHT & SURPRISE
Are we doing everything that is expected of us…plus more? And delivering joyful, radical service that delights and surprises?
04
KEEP IT SIMPLE
Do we relentlessly simplify our processes and solutions, so our product and organization stays “lean and mean,” rather than cluttered or slowed by the unimportant? Are we continually asking, “What would this look like if it were simple?”
05
RADICAL FOCUS
Do we know who we are? Are we focused on the mission? Are we willing to give up everything non-essential? Are we able to cut through the distractions, noise, and busy-ness and just do the hard work that really matters?
06
GIVE MY BEST
Am I being a good steward of God’s gifts, working hard, taking initiative, and always giving my best?
07
CONTINUAL IMPROVEMENT
Is this making us better versions of ourselves? Are we committed to excellence, personal accountability, understanding the why, and getting better at our craft every single day? Are we more disciplined, smart, virtuous, prayerful, faithful, and effective today than we were yesterday?
08
BE GENEROUS
Are we generous with our gratitude, time, patience, mercy, forgiveness, optimism, and kindness? When in doubt, be generous.
09
GREATER THAN THE SUM

“I can do things you cannot, you can do things I cannot. Together we can do great things.” — Saint (Mother) Teresa

10
LEAVE ROOM
Work is a means to an end, not an end itself, and should not be all-consuming. Is our work sanctifying us and benefiting others? Is it nourishing our families, rather than competing with them? Is it enabling and supporting leisure and a rich contemplative life, with plenty of room for silence, prayer, worship and life’s higher things?
