1Stayz is an AI follow-up assistant for churches. It texts every first-time guest by name within minutes of the service, in your church’s voice, and tells your team who needs a real person.
Hi Sarah! So glad you joined us at the 11:00 service. Want me to share what Grace Women has coming up?Sent 12:44 PM · 29 min after the service ended
Yes please! Is there anything during the week?
Grace Women meets Tuesdays at 7 PM, with kids’ care for your two. Want me to let Karen know you’re coming?
✓ Karen, Grace Women leader, notified. Relationship handed to a person.
Every Sunday, a first-time guest quietly decides whether to come back. 1Stayz makes sure they’re known by name and followed up before the week begins.
You don’t need a new app or a new process. 1Stayz works with the connection card you already use.
On paper, by QR code or in your church app. Your church system stays the record.
A warm text or email that uses their name, thanks them for coming and asks one simple question.
Each morning, a short list shows who replied, who needs a call and who needs a pastor right now.
A first text, a ranked list for your morning, and an assistant your staff can simply ask.
1Stayz connects to the church management and app tools you already use, and brings every reply into one conversation per guest, whether it arrives by text, email or social message. Your team never chases a guest across five inboxes.
Thanks! Is there a group for women?
Saw your post about Tuesday night!
Replying to the invite. We’ll be there.
Can I bring my sister?
The pilot connects Subsplash, connection cards and QR forms, text and email. Other connectors and channels are on our roadmap. Product names are trademarks of their owners and don’t imply endorsement.
Eight short steps: your services, beliefs, team and first message. We read your website to get you started.
Start in Shadow mode. 1Stayz drafts every message and holds it until your team says yes.
When someone shares grief, a crisis or a deep question, the assistant steps back and alerts your pastor.
No texts late at night. Guests can reply STOP anytime, and it’s honored instantly.
We’re starting with what matters most: no first-time guest overlooked. Next come richer, more personal ways for your church to welcome people, always with your approval.
A short welcome from your pastor, personalized with each guest’s name, service and interests. Made only with your pastor’s written authorization, and always labeled as AI-generated.
Help your ministries create original worship songs, audio devotionals and voice welcomes in your church’s own style, ready to share with the people you serve.
Roadmap items are plans, not commitments, and may change based on what pilot churches tell us.
Over time, 1Stayz-Base will learn from the teaching that consenting churches choose to share, across traditions and countries. Every church will start with an assistant that already understands the Christian faith and how to care for people well.
A long-term goal on our roadmap. Not part of the pilot.
Short answers to the most common questions. There’s more on our FAQ page.
No. 1Stayz handles the remembering and the first touches so your people can spend their time on real conversations. Pastoral moments always go to a person.
You add your beliefs during setup and choose, topic by topic, whether the assistant may explain your view, should route to a pastor, or shouldn’t discuss it. Your pastor approves these guardrails before anything is sent.
The assistant pauses and alerts the staff you choose, with a 15-minute response goal. Your team replies in the same conversation.
The pilot works with Subsplash, connection cards and QR forms, text and email. Planning Center and CSV import are coming soon, with more connectors on the roadmap.
Guided setup with our team, Shadow mode first so you approve every message, a weekly check-in, and your own baseline and results at the end.
We're welcoming a small group of pilot churches. Pilot churches help shape 1Stayz and get hands-on setup with our team.
