Faithlife

Faithlife can support church communities around communication, groups, giving, presentations, and shared ministry content, but it should not be evaluated as a general event management platform. Churches should verify which Faithlife products are still active and which legacy Equip or ChMS capabilities have moved or sunset.

Free Faithlife groups available; paid products such as Proclaim, Giving, TV Church, and Logos subscriptions vary by product

Best For

+ Churches already using Logos, Proclaim, Faithlife Giving, or Faithlife Groups
+ Ministry teams that want event communication inside a church community ecosystem
+ Small groups, Bible studies, church services, and volunteer-oriented gatherings
+ Churches that value Bible study, presentation, giving, and community tools together

Not For

− Business event organizers needing registration, ticketing, sponsor tools, event apps, or check-in
− Churches expecting legacy Faithlife Equip church management features without confirming current availability
− Conferences that need abstract management, lead retrieval, exhibitor workflows, or attendee analytics
− Teams that want one modern ChMS with clearly published event-management pricing

Key Capabilities

✓ Create Faithlife groups as private online communities for church communication and content access

✓ Share prayer requests, messages, bulletins, calendars, sermons, and church updates through the Faithlife ecosystem

✓ Use related products for giving, presentations, sermon media, Bible study resources, TV/video content, and church apps

✓ Support ministry gatherings through group communication, event posts, calendars, and community engagement

✓ Maintain a single-login church technology ecosystem for teams already invested in Faithlife or Logos

Honest Limitations

Product Sunset Risk

Faithlife's own FAQ says some Equip products, including ChMS and Sites, sunset in 2023, so current availability must be verified.

Not Event Software

Faithlife is church/ministry technology, not a dedicated event registration, ticketing, or onsite platform.

Fragmented Pricing

Pricing varies across Faithlife TV, Proclaim, Giving, Logos, and related products rather than one event package.

Limited Review Depth

G2 lists Faithlife Equip with too few reviews for buying insight, so churches need references and demos.

Pricing Breakdown

Plan	Price	Details
Faithlife Group	Free	Create a church group/community and use basic Faithlife community capabilities
Faithlife / Logos Products	Product-specific subscription	Proclaim, TV Church, Giving, Logos, and other products have separate pricing and trial terms
Legacy Equip / Church Management	Confirm with vendor	Some Equip and ChMS features sunset or migrated after June 30, 2023

Use Faithlife for ministry ecosystem; validate dedicated event operations elsewhere

Hidden Costs to Watch

! Separate subscriptions for presentations, giving, Bible study resources, video, sites, or church apps
! Migration work if replacing or supplementing a church management system
! Training volunteers and staff across multiple Faithlife or Logos products
! Separate event registration or ticketing software for larger public events

Faithlife is relevant to events when the event is part of church community life. Groups, communication, giving, presentations, Bible study content, and ministry media can support services and gatherings.

Do not assume it is still a full church event management or ChMS suite. Confirm the current product lineup, especially around legacy Equip features, before planning around it.
