Twelve churches to build this with us

We are opening Bellwether to a founding cohort of twelve church teams. You get the product early, founding pricing, and a direct line to the two of us. We get the honest feedback that makes it good.

September 21 – October 18th

The part nobody has time for

Your church database knows who stopped showing up, who visited twice and never came back, and who served last spring. Getting that out of the system takes an export, a spreadsheet, and an afternoon you do not have. So the question goes unanswered and the person goes unnoticed.

This is a beta

Bellwether works, and it is not finished. Some answers will come back slower than they should. Some integrations cover less than you want. You will find things we have not found yet. We are telling you now so nothing about the next four weeks surprises you, and so you can decide with clear eyes whether this is a good season for your team to try it.

What you get

  • Founding partner pricing that stays locked for as long as you keep your account.
  • Direct access to the two of us by text and email, no support queue.
  • Your integration requests move to the front of the build list.
  • Your name on the founding partners page if you want it there.

What we ask

  • Connect one real ministry system and use Bellwether with real data.
  • Use it for four weeks, at least a few times each week.
  • Tell us when something breaks or feels wrong, in plain words.

Feedback goes wherever it is easiest for you. Reply to any email from us, send a text, or use the feedback button inside the app. Two sentences is plenty.

Who this is for

The cohort works best for teams that match most of this.

  • You lead or support a church staff team of any size.
  • You already use Planning Center, Rock RMS, or a similar system.
  • You have a question about your people that you cannot answer quickly today.
  • You are comfortable using software that is still being finished.

After week four

At the end of the four weeks you decide what happens next. Stay on at founding partner pricing, or close the account and keep nothing but the time you saved. Either way we will ask you for fifteen minutes to hear what worked and what did not, because that conversation shapes the next version.

A letter from us

Shelby and Andy

We built Bellwether out of 13 years in ministry. We've seen churches that know their people by name, and we've been a part of churches that grow past the point where that's possible. Those two things shouldn't be mutually exclusive. So we're building enterprise-level tools that let any church connect deeply with its people, no matter the size.

If that's the church you want to build, we'd be honored to build it with you.

Twelve spots

We are keeping the cohort at twelve churches so we can stay close to every one of them. The application takes about five minutes, and we reply to everyone who applies.

Regular access

The cohort is not the only way in. If you would rather skip the beta commitments and just use Bellwether, give it a try here.
