Christian communication app bringing chat, groups, events, prayer and announcements into one place
Called is a church communication and community platform that replaces the mix of GroupMe, WhatsApp and Facebook many ministries rely on with one ad-free space. It combines:
- chat, threads and announcements,
- groups, events and a member directory,
- prayer sharing,
- engagement insights, notes and tags so leaders can see who is going quiet and follow up,
- youth-ministry safeguards, including adult-to-minor messaging restrictions, identification of minors, profanity filtering and leader oversight.
Called is run by Newman Ministry, the Catholic organization co-founded by Matt Zerrusen that also operates Newman Connection. It is based in the USA and connects 50,000+ members across 500+ churches. Its tools serve community-building and pastoral care rather than devotional content.
