What it does

Churches already help people. H.O.P.E. Ministries replaces the phone tree, the group text and the sign-up sheet.

Ask for help

A member who needs a meal, a ride or a hand with a repair asks in the app, for themselves or for someone they know.

Offer to help

Members say what they can do, such as cooking, driving or yard work, and hear about the needs that match.

Leaders coordinate

Church leaders see every open need, who has signed up and what has been sent, so nothing falls through the cracks.

Pray together

Share a prayer request with the whole church, with women or men only, or with your group, anonymously if you like. Others can tap to say they are praying.

Signing in

There is no new account or password. H.O.P.E. Ministries uses your church's directory in Planning Center. Enter the email address or mobile number on your church record and you get a one-time sign-in link and code. Members with a Planning Center login can use that instead.

The iPhone and Android apps are coming to the App Store and Google Play. Until then, sign in on the web from your phone or computer. Trouble signing in? See Support.

Who runs it

Your church chose H.O.P.E. Ministries and decides who can sign in and who leads in the app. Rivanna Works, in Charlottesville, Virginia, builds and runs it for the church. Rivanna Works is a trade name of Rivanna Technologies LLC.

Members should ask their church office about anything to do with their church. To bring H.O.P.E. Ministries to your church, call (540) 395-3149 or contact Rivanna Works.

Privacy, in short

  • Names, addresses and phone numbers for a need go only to church leaders and the volunteers who signed up.
  • You choose who sees each prayer request. If you post anonymously, only church leaders see your name.
  • Lock-screen notifications never show names, addresses or private prayer details.
  • No ads, no analytics or tracking, and your information is never sold.
  • Adults only. People listed as children in the church directory cannot sign in.
  • You can leave at any time from Me → Settings in the app.
