Pastors carry the weight of knowing every member's story — the hospital visits, the hard conversations, the birthdays that matter. But when those notes live scattered across phone apps, notebooks, and memory, things slip through the cracks. Undershepherd is a pastoral care tool built to change that.^1
Designed for solo pastors, pastoral teams, and care teams alike, Undershepherd centralizes everything that matters: interaction logs for every conversation and visitation, life event tracking with reminders for birthdays, anniversaries, and hardships, and task assignment so elders, deacons, and staff can share the load. Privacy is a core priority — the platform offers more granular privacy controls than most church management systems, using industry best practices to keep sensitive pastoral data secure.^1
Undershepherd integrates directly with Planning Center and Breeze ChMS, allowing churches to sync their people data automatically without duplicating work.^2 Getting started takes under four minutes with no credit card required for the 14-day free trial.^1
Founded by Kyle Krzeski, an exited SaaS entrepreneur who professes faith in Christ, Undershepherd operates under Sabbath Ventures with a clear statement of faith rooted in historic, orthodox Christianity. Their mission: "to equip pastors and ministry leaders with tools that enhance their ability to shepherd God's people faithfully."^3
