Running a modern church means juggling member data, online giving, volunteer schedules, live streams, and a website — and most platforms charge thousands for the privilege. B1 Church gives you all of it for free.^1
B1 is a complete church management platform that bundles a customizable mobile app, a drag-and-drop website builder, digital giving via Stripe, contactless check-in, attendance tracking, a member directory, small group management, sermon library, worship service planning with a song library, and direct messaging between members — all from one dashboard. It supports multi-campus churches and includes role-based permissions so staff and volunteers see only what they need.^1
B1 is built by ChurchApps (Live Church Solutions), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2012 with one conviction: the Church shouldn't have to outsource its tools to for-profit companies. Rooted in Matthew 10:8 — "Freely you have received, freely give" — ChurchApps serves over 14,700 churches across the globe and keeps every line of code open source on GitHub.^2 B1 is part of a family of free ministry tools that includes Lessons.Church (curriculum), FreeShow (worship presentations), and FreePlay (classroom content).^3
Why Churches Love It"I heartily recommend ChurchApps. It is a ministry in the truest and best sense of the word. ChurchApps provides technical services to enhance and elevate the church's spiritual impact in their communities." — Ken Idleman, A.B. M.Div. D.D.^1
"Having the donation page has increased giving to our organization. Not only do people appreciate the ease of scanning a code to take them directly to the donation page, monthly giving can be set up for those who want online giving to be easy." — Krista Thomason, A New Name in Indonesia^1
"I like to keep attendance records, and we use B1 Admin every Sunday for that purpose. We really appreciate the service of B1 Admin, which has proven an effective way for our church to keep records of people and attendance." — Daniel Webster, Believers Bible Assembly, Kumasi, Ghana^1
