If you're looking for a way to stay connected to church when you can't always be there in person, Churchome's free app brings daily faith practices and Bible teaching straight to your phone.^1 In October 2026 the iOS app was renamed The Story of God with its version 4.0.0 release; the Android app still carries the Churchome name.^2
The app centers on Daily Guided Prayers — short 5–7 minute audio prayers released every weekday, designed to help you communicate with God, meditate on Scripture, and build a consistent prayer habit.^4 Teaching from Judah Smith presents the Bible as one story with one main character, Jesus.^2 Weekly Services offer Bible-based teaching for adults, youth, and kids, and Story of God Live gathers the global community in person or via livestream.^1 ChurchKids Stories deliver daily Bible-based content for kids ages 1–11 through The Clubhouse (early childhood) and The Home Show (elementary), available in the app, on YouTube, podcast platforms, and Alexa.^5 The app also includes a full Bible reader with interactive elements, and subscribers get first access to new Churchome music releases.^1
Pastor Chat, which once connected you to a real pastor in real time for prayer and encouragement, closed on April 3, 2026, as Churchome stepped into its Story of God season. Questions and prayer requests now go through Churchome on Instagram.^6
Churchome was founded in 1992 as The City Church in Kirkland, Washington, and was renamed Churchome in 2017.^7 Judah Smith and Chelsea Smith have served in their current leadership roles since October 2022, after 13 years as lead pastors. Judah is known for his fresh, relatable, humorous messages that demystify the Bible, while Chelsea is noted for her down-to-earth wisdom, authenticity, and strong faith.^8
Why Christians Love It"Of all the church apps I've used, Churchome Global is one of the best. Because I'm disabled and cannot always make it to church on Sundays, I really appreciate the ability to access online services... I've really been blessed by Churchome's teaching over the years." — App Store review^2
"This ministry has assisted in the changing of my life. The guided prayers had honestly saved my life... I'm 17 and I feel so close to my Father and I'm so grateful to Churchome for their part in that." — App Store review^2
