How do you keep your church family connected and growing seven days a week — not just on Sunday mornings? That's the question Apollos was built to answer. Designed specifically for churches, Apollos is a digital platform that helps congregations launch custom-branded mobile apps, TV apps, and websites that inspire daily spiritual engagement.^1
At the heart of Apollos are three Daily Habits — gratitude, prayer, and Scripture reading — proven to help people build an everyday relationship with Jesus.^2 Members can record moments of appreciation, pray for one another (and receive prayer within minutes of asking), and reflect on daily Scripture alongside their church community. At NewSpring Church alone, over 64,000 members have installed their Apollos-powered app, with 45,000 prayers prayed every month on average.^3
Apollos also includes Creator, an AI-powered content engine that turns a single sermon into a week's worth of devotionals, study guides, blogs, and more — saving church teams significant time while keeping their congregation engaged between Sundays.^1 "Apollos AI has been incredible in helping me create the daily reading for our users," shared Jeremiah Bartlett, Director of Digital Strategies. "This has allowed me to streamline my workflow and productivity to create content that engages our users seven days a week, not just Sundays."^1
Originally launched as an open-source initiative "built by the Church, for the Church," Apollos is a subsidiary of Differential, a development studio based in Cincinnati.^4 The platform integrates with popular church management systems for two-way people syncing and content management, and recently introduced Apollos Tap — NFC-powered tags that let members connect with their church through a simple tap of their phone.^5
Churches like CedarCreek, Crossroads, Liquid Church, Willow Creek, Faith Promise, and Christ Fellowship trust Apollos to power their digital presence. "Working with Apollos really feels like a partnership," said Jason Jones, Executive Project Manager at CedarCreek Church. "The team wants me to win, they want CedarCreek to win and most importantly the Apollos team wants to help CedarCreek reach/connect with more people!"^6 Faith Promise Church saw new families grow over 40% and online attendance increase 10% within one year of launching with Apollos.^6
The Creator tier is currently free during beta, while custom Apps & Websites pricing is available for churches ready to launch branded mobile, TV, and web experiences.^7 Apollos offers iOS and Android apps, TV apps on major platforms, and fully bespoke websites — all built around the mission of making everyday discipleship a reality.
