Discipleship reaches into digital life
Your church already teaches intentional living, personal integrity and healthy families. Most of the hours where those things are tested now happen on a phone. LeadMeNot extends the relational care your church already provides into that space, with software people configure for themselves.
The challenges it helps with are broad: distracting apps and social media, late-night scrolling, sports betting, explicit content, and whatever a person knows is a trigger for them. Nobody who installs it is assumed to be struggling with any one thing. It's a tool for anyone who wants to use technology more intentionally.
How congregations use it
- Congregation-wide access. Introduced as a member benefit for healthier digital habits, alongside the other care your church offers.
- Small groups, men's and women's ministries. Members who already meet weekly choose each other as accountability partners if they want to. The rules stay personal; the group relationship gives them somewhere to talk.
- Marriage and family ministry. Spouses can be partners, and families can set boundaries around the home's evenings. Up to three partners per person, so the whole weight doesn't land on one relationship.
- Recovery ministries. For people working through a specific struggle, the same tools give a sponsor or mentor a concrete role between meetings, at the member's invitation.
- Pastoral staff. Leaders can use it themselves. Nobody on staff becomes anyone's default partner.
What the church sees, and what it doesn't
The church sponsors access and introduces it. Each member activates, sets their own rules, and decides whether to involve a partner and who that is. Sponsoring licenses gives the church no automatic access to anyone's activity. That separation is what makes people willing to install it, and we'll help you say it plainly in your announcement.
How access works
You agree a scope with us and receive an organization code for your congregation. Members enter it on the app's first screen and see no payment screen. Licenses correspond to people, and an unlimited-device license covers that person's phone, laptop and tablet. You can sponsor more than are redeemed at first and reassign as the agreement allows. Term and price are worked out together; there's no rate card.

Questions
Does the church see what members do on their devices?
No. Sponsoring licenses gives the church no automatic access to anyone's activity. Each member chooses their own rules and whether to involve an accountability partner, and who that is.
Can a pastor or small-group leader be someone's partner?
Only if the member invites them. Nobody on staff is anyone's default partner. A partner receives the alerts the member's setup allows, by email, with nothing to install.
Is LeadMeNot a Christian app?
Its founder follows Jesus and is open about it, and the app is built for everyone. There's no Bible content in the app itself; the model of trusted accountability and personal boundaries is what many churches use it for.
How is it priced for a church?
By the size of your congregation, how many people you'd like to equip and your rollout goals. Starting with one ministry or group is common. Email us and we'll find an approach that fits.
