Every member gets an app of their own
Their church between Sundays, the Word every day, their giving record and a passport that’s theirs for life. No app store needed: they add Zera to their home screen in one tap.
Church doesn’t stop on Sunday afternoon
A feed for your congregation: what people are thankful for, what they’re carrying, and what’s coming up. Reply, react, repost, save and share, all inside your church.
- Photos, video and audioUp to ten photos and videos in one post, or a recording. Photos are shrunk on the phone first, so data bundles last.
- Prayer requests and testimoniesMembers pray, say amen and reply. A post can go up as “a member”. Only the church’s owner and admins can see who wrote it.
- Announcements that landWith the flyer and a button straight to the event, teaching or page they’re about. Polls too.
- Their ministries’ updatesEach group’s own updates, seen only by its members.
Today, this week, and who’s celebrating
One glance tells a member what matters today: the next service, today’s word, the next event and their giving this year. Then the week ahead and the birthdays to celebrate.
- The Word, every dayA Bible-in-a-year reading with your church’s devotional, a streak to keep, and the week’s dots.
- Celebrate each otherBirthdays and anniversaries this week, with a free “Wish” from the app.
- Invite a friendA personal link to share on WhatsApp. Their friend says “I’d like to visit” without an account, and your pastors know who invited them.
The whole church in their pocket
Free for every member of every church on Zera.
Book a pastor
Pick a pastor by name or “anyone on the team”, in person, by phone or video, at a time that’s open. They can add a private note only the pastor reads.
Mail with their church
Write to the pastoral team and get replies the moment they’re sent, with “Seen by the church”. Choose anonymous and not even the church team sees who wrote.
Events, answered
Every event has its own page with the full flyer, “I’m coming”, who else is going, and add-to-calendar.
Their giving, their record
Every gift their church records, from every church they’ve belonged to, and a yearly statement to print or save.
Sermons to keep
Watch or listen to sermons, read articles, join the discussion, and share any teaching on WhatsApp with a public link.
Ask for care
Ask the care team for prayer, a visit or help, privately. Only the care team sees it, never the feed.
They hear it as it happens
While Zera is open, what arrives rings a soft chime: a bell for a notification, a gentler one for Mail, a brighter one when church goes live. With Zera closed, Mail and going live reach their phone like any other app.
- Their choiceMembers choose what they’re told about, church by church: announcements, events, the day’s reading and more. They can turn the sound off on any device.
- Discreet on the lock screenAlerts say who and what, never anything private: “A reply from Grace Chapel”.
- Mail, live everywhereA reply shows on every device at once, and the Mail icon’s count stays current.
Their faith record goes where they go
A Zera account belongs to the person, not to one church. It keeps their own details and a faith record: baptism, confirmation, the ministries they served. Each has a ✓ from the church that recorded it.
When they move, they choose exactly what to share with the new church, and can take it back. Their old pastor can add a letter of commendation that anyone can check with its code. Leaving never needs anyone’s permission.
- Nothing shared without a tickEvery detail starts unticked, and Zera warns before sharing with a church it hasn’t confirmed.
- Giving history stays theirsStatements from churches they’ve left are still there.
- Children are protectedUnder-18s can’t share their details from the app or start a move. Their church office handles it.
Even closer to their church
When your church is on Zera Plus, members get these too.
Chats with their pastors
Message the pastoral team and their ministry leaders, and join their group chats, without spending a pesewa on SMS.
Serving, answered
See the week’s plans, answer the duty roster and tick off their to-dos from the Planner.
Your church’s TV channel
Live and replays from the app, a “We’re live” banner when service starts, and Remind me for the next one.
Your church’s colours
Your logo and colours across the app, so it feels like your church, not ours.
On their home screen
Installs from the browser on Android and iPhone. It opens like an app, with shortcuts to Give, Events and This week.
Light or dark
Follows the phone’s setting, or their own choice.
