No central control.
Anyone can create a group, add people or leave, and the organisation has no say.
One app for your congregation, temple or faith community.
Troop Community gives churches, temples, mosques, gurdwaras and spiritual organisations their own app to stay connected with members every day. Stream services live, share announcements and events, run groups and volunteers, and keep members' data private, hosted or on your own servers.

What Is a Faith Community App?
A faith community app is a branded app that a church, temple, mosque, gurdwara or spiritual organisation uses to keep members connected, with announcements, live-streamed services, events, groups and messaging in one place.
Troop Community works alongside your church or temple management software: that system handles giving and records, and the app is where your community connects every day.

Why Faith Communities Outgrow Chat Groups
Groups turn into noise.
Official updates disappear under forwards, jokes and off-topic posts.
Group limits get in the way.
Consumer apps cap group sizes and broadcasts, so reaching every member means dozens of copies.
No data, no ownership.
The organisation cannot see who is engaged, and members' religious data sits in someone else's app.
