Addressing common pastor concerns
No. Sanctuary Stack uses modern "Instant App" technology (PWA). You completely bypass App Stores, saving ₹8,000–10,000/year in fees and weeks of waiting.
The Benefit:
Your members just click a link and add your church app to their home screen in seconds. No App Store search, no passwords, no downloads.
Yes — we include an easy "Urgent Alert" button. Use it for cancellations, emergencies, or major announcements. You only pay for the messages you actually send.
Smart Strategy:
Move daily devotionals and sermon notes to your free church app. Reserve WhatsApp for truly urgent, time-sensitive alerts — like storm warnings or sudden prayer needs.
None at all. Add 50 or 5,000 members — the price stays the same. We want your church to grow.
Push notifications to your app are unlimited and free. WhatsApp messages are pay-as-you-go at actual cost.
To keep the app fast and reliable on mobile data, we recommend embedding YouTube/Vimeo links. These play smoothly inside the app without slowing it down.
Why This Works Better:
YouTube handles video hosting, streaming, and bandwidth. Your app stays lightning-fast even on 2G connections. Members see an elegant video player right in the feed.
We use industry-standard encryption and secure cloud storage. Your members' contact information and church content are protected.
You can export all your data (contacts, photos, content) at any time. We provide a complete data export before account closure.
No lock-in. Your church data belongs to you, always.
Digital Sanctuary Plan: Your branded church app can be live in under 30 minutes. We handle the technical setup.
Direct Pro Plan: 1-2 business days for WhatsApp Business API verification with Meta.
