Flock

What Flock is

Flock is a church management platform for keeping attendance and member records organized, coordinating leaders, and viewing church activity. Attendance can be submitted and tracked on web or mobile, including for first-time visitors. Member profiles can hold contact details, baptism records, NBS status, and member type. Churches can arrange groups in a customizable hierarchy with unlimited depth, using structures such as Zones, Districts, and Cell Groups. Granular permissions support roles including Super Admin, Zone Overseer, District Pastor, and Cell Leader.

The platform can send birthday reminders, alerts when attendance is due, and custom broadcasts. Its mobile app includes attendance, dashboards, push notifications, and member profiles. Flock also supports member directories, group messaging, and leader permissions. The maker says each church has an isolated database, with encryption in transit, secure authentication, and role-based access controls. Member, attendance, and group structure data can be exported at any time.

The Starter plan is free for up to 100 members and five leader accounts, with attendance tracking and a basic dashboard. Growth costs $29 a month, billed annually, and includes unlimited members and leaders, push notifications, advanced analytics, and custom branding. Enterprise has custom pricing and adds multi-campus support, dedicated support, and API access. Flock is offered on the web, with mobile access through its app. The maker describes it for growing churches and says most churches can get set up within 20 minutes without technical setup.
