Our verdict on Churza
Churza is a mobile church management and engagement app from Softnergy Limited, designed for Pentecostal, charismatic and evangelical churches. It brings giving, attendance, cell groups, sermons, livestreaming, prayer requests, announcements, events and member administration into one app. Churches create an account and receive a six-digit join code for members. The product supports Android and iPhone/iPad, with payments handled through Stripe and support for multiple currencies.
Pricing is centered on free access during the beta period, with no monthly subscription stated in the Google Play listing. Online giving carries an approximately 3% transaction fee, so churches should account for that cost when evaluating digital tithes and donations. The feature set covers several operational needs without listing separate paid tiers: Stripe-powered giving, attendance check-in and reports, member roles, digital membership cards with QR codes, and Gift Aid reports for UK churches. The app also includes announcements and events with RSVP, giving churches a shared place for routine communication.
Churza’s breadth is its main appeal, particularly for churches that want ministry engagement and basic administration in a mobile-first product. Sermon libraries support audio and video, YouTube livestreams can appear inside the app, and cell groups include real-time chat. A prayer wall supports anonymous requests, while the member directory and role management address community administration. The trade-off is a narrow platform footprint: access is limited to iOS and Android, and app-store publishing is vendor-managed. Churza suits churches seeking a broad mobile ministry platform with free beta access; organizations requiring wider platform coverage or more control over publishing should consider alternatives.
