About Called 

Built for Ministry by Ministry.

We created Called because ministry leaders deserve better than borrowed tools. Too many churches rely on generic group chats, cluttered social platforms, or disconnected apps that don’t fit the sacred work of discipleship. That’s why we built a safe, people-first church app designed by ministry leaders, for ministry leaders.

Why Called?

Every church needs a way to stay connected beyond Sunday. Faith isn’t just one day a week, and neither should your communication be.

Called is more than a Christian app—it’s a discipleship platform that gives leaders confidence:

  • Safe environment: Built-in safeguards for minors and adults
  • One home for ministry: Chat, events, news, and prayer in one place
  • Catholic + Christian specific: Created to serve the unique needs of churches and ministries, not just another tech product
  • Accessible anywhere: Available on mobile, desktop, and web

Whether you’re a pastor, ministry director, or campus minister, Called helps you connect, engage, and empower your people every day of the week.

What Makes Called Different?

There are plenty of apps that claim to “build community.” But none are created specifically for ministry like Called.

  • For Churches and Dioceses: Manage groups, strengthen engagement, and multiply impact across every parish or campus.
  • For Small Groups: Organize gatherings, share prayer requests, and deepen connections in a safe space.
  • For Catholic Ministries: Seamlessly integrate with Newman Connection, giving campus ministers verified student connections and free access.

Called isn’t just church software—it’s a discipleship tool that keeps every person needed and known.
