Help first-time visitors feel known on their first Sunday
Everus matches new visitors with the right small groups, mentors, and serving opportunities — so they find community and keep coming back.
Most visitors are not rejecting the church. They simply leave without a relationship or a reason to return the following Sunday.

The Result
Testimonials
What Church Leaders Are Saying
We initially implemented Everus as a tool for a 15-week small group program centered on table conversations. The ease of use and clarity of the insights were so compelling that we immediately adopted it in two other departments. It's helped us form stronger connections across the congregation and has been a significant win for us.

Frequently asked questions
How does Everus integrate with our existing systems?
Everus works alongside your current tools as your member connection layer—no need to switch CRM or planning software, and no new logins or profiles required for members. Setup typically takes less than 3 hours with our support team.
What's the pricing?
Pricing is based on your member count. Plans start at $49/month for smaller communities, and increase up to $299/month for established organizations. Customized pricing plans are also available for larger enterprise organizations.
How fast do we see results?
Most organizations see measurable engagement lift within 30-60 days—the critical early integration window. Members start receiving personalized connection suggestions immediately after their first check-in, and you’ll see analytics on retention life after the first month if you are signed up for a Growth plan or higher and have provided us with baseline retention data.
What makes Everus different from member directories or networking tools?
Directories put the burden on members to figure out connections on their own—which means most connections never happen. Everus operationalizes early relational integration using behavioral research. The system proactively identifies compatibility and facilitates introductions with context, so members don't have to guess. Members who connect in the first 30 days are 3x more likely to renew—Everus makes that happen automatically.
Do we need technical expertise to use Everus?
No. Everus is designed for community managers and membership directors, not engineers. Our team handles setup and onboarding. The ongoing platform is intuitive—if you can send an email and manage a spreadsheet, you can run Everus.
Can members control their matching preferences?
Absolutely. Members control their participation level and can leave a match at anytime. Everus respects privacy and gives members full control over their experience while still facilitating valuable connections.
Most organizations know they have a churn problem. Few know exactly where it's breaking down.
