Ministry can be one of the loneliest callings — long hours, heavy burdens, and few peers who truly understand. Faithly was built to change that. Often described as "LinkedIn for the Church," it's a dedicated networking platform where pastors, worship leaders, church staff, volunteers, and seminary students can find each other, share resources, and grow together.^1
Co-founded in 2022 by Alicia Lee — a former Goldman Sachs executive of 18 years who says the idea came as "a vision from the Lord" — and Danny Yoo, a software engineer and former pastor, Faithly is purpose-built for the unique rhythms of church life.^2 The platform includes ministry-tailored profiles, a job board for pastoral and church roles, private groups for denominations and special interests, event tools, resource sharing, and direct messaging — all in an ad-free, algorithm-free environment.^3
Faithly launched its mobile app in September 2025 at the Sing! conference in Nashville, and the response was immediate. "People were surprised there wasn't anything like this," Lee told The Christian Post.^2 With around 3,000 users and partnerships like the C4 Network (rooted in the Christian Cultural Center in NYC), the platform is steadily growing.^2
Advisors include Rev. Adam Durso (25+ years of NYC ministry leadership with LEAD.NYC and Movement.org), Seth Bazacas (Lead Pastor of Wellspring Church and NYC Network Director for Alpha USA), and Tyler Prieb (Founder of Missional Labs). The Faithly team also produces the Faithly Stories Podcast, featuring behind-the-scenes conversations with ministry leaders.^5
Why Christians Love It"Faithly is the future of faith and work. It fills the gap in ways that LinkedIn doesn't (and can't). The platform allows you to find and connect with people who align with your church missionally." — Matthew Thompson, Executive Director at Mighty Pursuit^1
"Ministry can be really lonely sometimes. I didn't know that going in. But things like Faithly have provided me with a network of people who are just as passionate about ministry and serving as I am." — Kellie Clairmont, Family Ministry Coordinator at Salem Church^1
"Finding ministry partners on other networks is like fishing in an ocean. Faithly shrinks the pool by helping those looking to connect around common ministry goals find their people." — Christina Embree, Minister of Generational Discipleship at Brethren in Christ^3
