Faith communities and congregations: members, events, and communication in one place.

Yes — a faith community or congregation can keep a member directory and portal, run events and gatherings (free events free, paid programs at a flat $1 per ticket), publish a website, and send newsletters, all from one platform — keeping the focus on people, not admin.

A congregation is a community first and an organization second, but the organizing still has to happen: who is a member, what is on this week, and how everyone hears about it. The tools should fade into the background.

Key takeaways

  • A member directory and portal for your community.
  • Events and gatherings — free events free, paid programs at a flat $1 per ticket.
  • A website and newsletter to keep everyone connected.
  • One affordable platform. Tmbr Studio is $99/month, two months free annually.

How does it keep a community connected?

Members and regular attendees live in one place, with a portal and a newsletter that already knows them. New people who come to an event or sign up on your site become part of the community list automatically, so nobody falls through the cracks.

How do events and programs work?

List services, classes, and gatherings on your own site. Free events and registrations cost nothing; paid programs — a retreat, a dinner, a course — are a flat $1 per paid ticket, with payment through your own Stripe account.
