What Synq is
Synq is a church management platform for SBC ministry leaders, with 23 integrated modules intended to replace 7–12 separate tools. Modules use shared records, reducing the need to enter the same information again. People, Groups, Check-In, and Volunteers cover profiles, group rosters and attendance, secure child check-in, and volunteer scheduling. Communications handles email and SMS, smart segments, inbound routing to a profile, and A2P 10DLC. Giving runs through the church’s own Stripe account; Synq says it does not hold the funds or take a percentage. The platform describes AI safeguards including zero data retention, no training on church data, sensitive-field redaction, exclusion of pastoral, giving, and HR data, and human approval of consequential actions. Security features include encryption in transit and at rest, role-based access, an immutable audit log, SSO, per-church data isolation, and automated backups with point-in-time recovery. Synq is currently a mobile-ready progressive web app for iOS and Android; dedicated native apps are in active development.
