What Synq is

Synq is a church management platform for SBC ministry leaders, bringing 23 integrated modules together in place of 7–12 disconnected tools. Modules share records, reducing the need to enter the same information again. People, Groups, Check-In, and Volunteers cover profiles, group rosters and attendance, child check-in, and volunteer scheduling. Communications handles email and SMS, smart segments, inbound routing to profiles, and A2P 10DLC. Giving uses the church’s Stripe account; Synq says it neither holds funds nor takes a percentage. Security features listed include encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, an immutable audit log, SSO, per-church data isolation, and automated backups with point-in-time recovery. Synq says its AI has zero data retention, does not train on church data, redacts sensitive fields, excludes pastoral, giving, and HR data, and requires human approval for consequential actions. It currently runs as a mobile-ready progressive web app for iOS and Android home screens; native apps are in active development. Plans start at $49 a month, with a 60-day trial and concierge migration.
