A reading-plan app for your church

Your church’s reading plans.One simple place for your congregation.

Steady Word gives churches their own branded reading-plan app for the Scripture plans they already use. Your church chooses the content. We provide the app and ongoing service.

  • See what to read next
  • Open the passage
  • Keep their place
  • Optional reminders

If we believe God’s Word forms God’s people, then helping people stay in Scripture is worth making simple.

A PDF can contain everything people need and still disappear into an inbox. A handout can be excellent and still get left on the kitchen counter.

Steady Word keeps the next reading easy to find, so members can spend less time locating the plan and more time in Scripture. It supports the teaching and encouragement your church is already providing.

A webpage gives the plan a place to live. Steady Word gives it a place in your members’ daily lives.

Instead of finding the church website, navigating back to the plan, and remembering where they left off, members open the same app, see what’s next, and keep going.

For members

One familiar place. Four simple jobs.

The app stays intentionally small so the reading stays central. Members do not have to learn another church system before they can begin.

  1. 01

    See what to read next

    Open the church app and go directly to the assigned reading.

  2. 02

    Open the Scripture

    Tap into the Bible app or website the church and member already use.

  3. 03

    Keep your place

    Progress stays on the member’s device. No Steady Word member account or church-wide completion leaderboard.

  4. 04

    Get an optional reminder

    Put the reading back in front of someone without another church email or group text.

One app. All your current plans.
Built to continue

The next plan is just there.

When a class changes, a sermon series begins, or the church starts another reading plan, members keep using the same church app. No new PDF to find. No new app to install. No new place to remember.

Keep what already works.

  • Your reading plan
  • Your curriculum and classes
  • Your sermons and teaching
  • Your church communication
  • Your printed material and Bible apps

Steady Word adds one simple layer.

  • A church-branded home for the readings
  • Bible links, private progress, and optional reminders
  • One place that stays put when the plan changes
Getting started

You already have the plan.

Step 1

Send us your schedule.

A PDF, spreadsheet, curriculum schedule, bulletin, webpage, or rough outline is enough.

Step 2

We set up your church app.

We handle branding, the first plan, Bible links, progress tracking, reminders, and the details around launch.

Step 3

Share one link.

Members can use it immediately in a browser or add it to their Home Screen.

Your church stays in control.After setup, future plans are managed through Steady Word’s structured Google Sheet workflow. We set up the first plan with you; routine changes don’t require a developer.

Pricing

One church app, set up and supported.

Your church brings the Scripture schedule. Steady Word provides the church-branded app, first-plan setup, hosting, product updates, reminder support, and help keeping future plans manageable.

$499setup + first year

Then $399 per year.

  • Church-specific branding and hosted app
  • Plan-management setup
  • One done-for-you first plan setup
  • Today’s reading, Bible links, private progress, reminders, and offline availability
  • Ongoing hosting, product updates, reminder support, and basic email support

No per-member pricing. Members are never charged individually. Your church is paying Steady Word for the app and ongoing service—not for the Bible-reading plan itself.

Send us your plan

Standard pricing covers most churches. Larger, multi-site, or unusually complex organizations may require a custom quote. Additional done-for-you imports, complex plan or curriculum conversion, custom-domain setup, and custom feature work may be quoted separately.

Why it exists

Built first for a real congregation.

Steady Word was first built for Mountain View church of Christ in Cumming, Georgia, and has been in regular use there since May 2026.

The job remains intentionally narrow: make the Scripture a church already assigns easier for people to keep in front of them.

Common questions

Short answers for the next conversation.

Do members need an account?

No. Members open the church’s app link and can add it to their Home Screen. Reading progress stays on their device.

Who chooses and controls the readings?

Your church does. Steady Word does not create the plan, devotional content, commentary, or curriculum. We give your church’s assigned readings a reliable home.

Why not just use YouVersion or another Bible app?

Steady Word doesn’t replace your Bible app. It gives your church’s own assigned readings one church-specific home, then links members into the Bible app they already use.

What happens when our plan changes?

Your church updates the plan through the Steady Word workflow. Members keep using the same app and see the next plan there—no new link or install to learn.

Next step

Already have a reading schedule?

Send it over. A PDF, spreadsheet, bulletin, webpage, curriculum schedule, or rough outline is enough to start.

We’ll begin with the plan you already use and a conversation about what your members need—not a new curriculum pitch.

If you’d like a quick call, include 2–3 times that usually work for you.
