Tethered for churches
Give your congregation one place for announcements, sermons, events and prayer, with privacy built in.
What your church gets
Announcements
Post updates with push notifications, and pin the latest to everyone’s Today screen.
Live Sermon Mode
Turn everyone’s screen to the passage as you preach. Members take private notes on each passage.
Auto Sermon Mode (add-on)
The preacher’s phone listens for Bible references and offers to send them, or sends them after a short countdown. Speech is turned into text on the phone and never recorded.
Anonymous questions
Members ask during the sermon without anyone, including the pastor, knowing who asked.
Events and reading plans
RSVPs, a church calendar, and reading plans everyone can follow together.
Groups and prayer
Anonymous small groups, a church prayer wall, resources and counselor referrals.
Roles and moderation
Managers, moderators, group leaders and guest preachers, with reporting, blocking and review of reported posts.
A dashboard without names
See how the church is engaging (counts only). No role can ever see who pressed help or who is struggling.
How to get started
- Download Tethered and sign in with your church email (we send a 6-digit code).
- Choose “I’m a pastor or church leader” and set up your church. Your free trial starts right away.
- Share your church code, invite link or QR code with your members. Members always join free.
- Before the trial ends, get a church license from us. You’ll receive an activation code to enter in the app under Church → Church license.
Church licenses
Church licenses are arranged directly with Tethered, outside the app. Online checkout isn’t open yet. To get a license, or to ask about pricing for your church, email support@tetheredbible.com.
Members never pay for church features. Crisis help, the Bible and the prayer wall stay free whether or not a church has a license.
