Woven.

Relational intelligence for the local church

Turning attendance into belonging

Most people walk into church, talk to no one, and walk out — for years. Woven helps your congregation notice them, reach them, and weave them in. Not another staff queue: a peer, a nudge, and a natural next step.

Now piloting with a small number of churches.

Why Woven exists

“Ten years ago, this was me. I attended for years and talked to no one. Then one man my age invited me to a men’s BBQ. That single invitation started the faith journey that changed my life.”
Nathan · Co-founder

The problem

Alone in a crowd, every Sunday

In nearly every church, a majority of regular attenders follow the same quiet pattern. They are present — and completely unconnected. No group. No serving team. No one who knows their name.

They don’t leave angry. And the systems your church already uses — check-ins, group rosters, serving teams — hold everything needed to see exactly who they are. Nobody is looking. And more importantly, nobody is acting.

They were simply never woven in.

  • They walk inAttend faithfully — often for years.
  • They talk to no oneNo group, no team, no names known.
  • They walk outAnd one day, quietly, they don’t come back.

How it works

A peer, a nudge, and a natural next step

Other tools spot disengaged people and hand the list to church staff — a report, a queue, a follow-up call from the office. Woven takes a different path. What actually changes a life is a peer: someone like you, extending one real invitation. That’s the moment Woven is built around.

  1. See

    Woven reads the data your church systems already hold and surfaces who is attending faithfully but connected to nothing — and who is quietly fading.

  2. Match

    Each person is paired with a compatible, commissioned connector — same life stage, same service, same neighborhood — plus a natural next step: an event, a group, or simply a conversation.

  3. Nudge

    The connector receives one small, concrete ask: “Would you reach out to Nathan?” One step. Human, always.

  4. Weave

    Woven follows the journey — invited, attended, joined, serving — and celebrates stories, not statistics.

The unengaged person never downloads anything, signs up for anything, or is asked to admit they’re lonely. The entire intervention arrives as a friend.

One example · a nudge to Mike, commissioned connector

Hey Mike — Nathan attends the 9:30 like you, has kids the same age, and lives 8 minutes away. He’s been coming for two years and isn’t connected to anything yet.

Would you reach out to him this week?

In practice

One small nudge, one changed life

  • Mike says yes and makes one natural invitation.
  • It might be a men’s BBQ, his small group, or just coffee.
  • A relationship starts; Woven suggests the next step.
  • Staff see the journey without chasing it.

Small ask. Bounded. Concrete. The form can flex — the friendship is the point.

Beyond the first invitation

Same intelligence, different plays

One engine — who someone is, who they’d connect with, and what to invite them to — applied to every moment that decides belonging.

Finding the right group

When someone looks for a small group, suggest the best fit — a leader in their life stage, members who live nearby, a group that’s truly open — instead of a blind directory.

A place to serve

Match people to serving teams by gifts, schedule, and who’s already on the team. For many, serving is the front door to belonging.

Life’s big moments

A new baby, a child moving to youth group, a new marriage — moments of maximum openness, and maximum drift. Each prompts the right invitation at the right time.

Noticing the fade

When someone connected begins to slip — attendance thinning, serving stopped — their group leader or friend gets a gentle nudge. Not the office.

First-time guests

After a second or third visit, a member with a similar life connects personally. The first sixty days decide whether a guest becomes family.

And wherever God leads

The engine is one investment; every play is a new ministry application — built in the order your church actually needs.

What we believe

“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ.”
Ephesians 4:11–12

The “one another” commands — stir up one another to love and good works, bear one another’s burdens, show hospitality — are addressed to the congregation, not the org chart. Andrew’s first act was to find his own brother and bring him. The shepherd notices the missing one, and goes.

We’re not building software to help pastors do more ministry. We’re building software to help pastors equip their people to do it.

Guardrails

Shepherding, never surveillance

Never automate the relationship

Woven never contacts the unengaged person. Every output ends with a human being handed a name, a reason, and a next step.

Just enough, never a dossier

Connectors are commissioned like any serving team and see only what makes an invitation natural. Data stays with the church, under permissions the church controls.

Respect the no

Declines are honored with cool-downs. Suggestions, never verdicts — the data can’t see everything, so people always decide.

Stories over points

No gamification of souls. Connectors see fruit — “three people you invited are now in groups” — not badges.

We’re piloting Woven with a small number of churches that care deeply about the people no one knows yet. If that’s your church, we’d love to talk.

Thank you — we got it.

We’ll be in touch soon. It means a lot that you care about the people no one knows yet.
