Members without a smartphone
Some of your members have a basic phone. No smartphone? No apps? No internet? No problem. SoapBox has a place for them too.
- Add them to your People list with a name and a mobile number. They need no app and no account.
- To reach them by SMS, export your People list with phone numbers from the app or the web app, and send through your church's own SMS provider.
In Tagalog
The app runs in Tagalog, and each member chooses their own language. ORA, SoapBox's study assistant, answers Bible questions in Tagalog, as a research aid for study. It's not a pastor.
The Bible, free
The Bible reader has the whole Bible in Tagalog, Ang Salita ng Diyos, and in Cebuano and Hiligaynon, free, with many English translations.
Giving with QR Ph
Your members can give with QR Ph. Add your church's own QR Ph code, and members pay it from GCash, Maya or their bank app, straight into your church's account. SoapBox takes no platform fee on donations and never holds the money. Any fees from your members' wallet or bank still apply.
For your church
Your church starts free, for up to a hundred members. Share your invite code on WhatsApp, Facebook, by text message or email, straight from the app. Visitors who check in at the door land in Visitor Follow-up, and you can publish a free web page for your church.
Light on data
Turn on Data-Light Mode, and on mobile data, photos in posts wait until you tap them. Chapters you've already read stay on your phone.
Growing?
Paid plans are discounted for churches in the Philippines.
