Some of the help churches need is best given as software. So we build it, and hold it to the standard we hold all our work to: it has to serve people, and its results have to be real.
The records and routines of a whole church in one place: its people and visitors, ministries and groups, events and attendance, volunteers, giving with receipts, and pastoral care.
Pastoral notes are sealed, sign-in can ask for a second step, and every change is written to an audit trail. Members get their own app for groups, sermons and their giving.

The outcome it serves
Nobody is too far away, or too low on data, to join the service.
VineStreamvinestream.valorgroups.org · being set up
Livestreams, recordings and replays made for weak connections and small data plans. A member opens a WhatsApp link, with no account to create, and hears the preacher within seconds.
They choose full video, a data saver, sound only, or slides with sound. A privacy pause keeps a moment off the stream and out of the recording. Check-ins, prayer requests and gifts go straight to the church's ChurchOS records.

Worked out from the bitrates we measured in testing. Real use varies with the phone and the network.
A church's records are its own
Each church sees only its own people, gifts and notes. A person's data can be exported or erased when they ask.
Prayer stays private
Pastoral notes are sealed. A prayer request sent from VineStream is passed to the church and then erased from VineStream.
Our name is on them
