Help Your Congregation Connect

Sidekick can make your congregation a community

It’s the 21 st Century and too many congregations are losing members. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Poll after poll tells us that one of the key drivers of religious participation is the opportunity to share fellowship and joy.

Sidekick can help you retain and grow your membership because it isn’t social media. It’s a social catalyst. Our mission is to leverage the online world to foster connection and belonging in the real world.

With Sidekick, your members can search within the congregation’s membership to find others who share their interest in pickleball (or mahjong, or The Chronicles of Narnia). They can use Sidekick to merge their social lives with their religious community.

Our mobile app is designed:

to help members find their people and engage in their community based on their shared interests.

to give elders and leaders a way to get the word out about activities and upcoming events.

to give clergy a window into campus trends and a sense of the overall health of the community.

Sidekick can serve as a hub for social life, both organized and one-on-one, wherever your students live, work and study. We put it all together in one place. Sidekick is your congregants’ dashboard for fellowship and fun.

Our app encourages fellow congregants to make new friends by sharing the interests they have in common. As you know, the best way for your followers to make meaningful connections is to get off their devices and into the real world – together.

That’s what makes Sidekick different from all of the social media sites that are designed to hook users and keep them online for as long as possible. We believe that online relationships can never substitute for the depth and impact of real-world connections.

Sidekick’s app provides your followers with a safe way to communicate that eliminates the toxicity of social media. No more photoshopped pictures, follower counts, likes and dislikes, imposters, and negative comments. Friendship isn’t a competition.

Sidekick is looking to partner with thought leaders to complete the design and testing of our social catalyst app. We need your help in order to reimagine the online world.

Register your church or other faith organization to join our pilot program and participate in the nationwide roll-out of the Sidekick app.
