SECOND CHAIR.

How the two fit

The staff, and the wall they report to.

Three seats that draft and never send. The Watchman is the screen on the office wall that shows what they produced this week. Start with the staff.

Three seats on day one, thirteen chairs open. The free report tells you which seats you are already paying for.

The staff

The work isn't getting done, because nobody was hired to do it.

What it is
Three seats to start: Communications, Follow-up & Connections, Volunteer Coordinator. Thirteen more chairs open as you need them. Every seat learns your church from your own sermons, site, and bulletins.
What you get
Finished drafts every Monday: announcements, guest follow-up, volunteer asks. Each one shows the source it came from. You approve; it never sends.
Who it's for
The church where the bulletin happens Sunday night and guests don't hear back.
How it arrives
A setup week: the seats read your sermons, site, and bulletins and produce a first-week report you review with Lonnell in a 20-minute call. Nothing to install.

$299/mo base · $99/mo per seatPriced per seat, never per size. Founding churches lock every seat at $79 for 36 months. Setup included.

Founding cohort opens January 2027

The Watchman, a round always-on screen mounted on a church office wall

Then, on the wall

The Watchman

The wall your staff reports to. Very hard to unplug.

What it is
A small always-on screen in the office, wired to the systems you already use and to your Second Chair queue.
What you get
What the staff produced this week, live: drafts finished, approved, waiting on you. Then giving, attendance, streams, and volunteers on the same wall, with a morning brief only when something needs a decision.
Who it's for
A church that already has the staff and wants the whole office to see the work happening.
How it arrives
Hands-on install. We wire it to your systems and hand you the screen.

Priced per installA handful of churches a year. Includes setup and ongoing care.

The Watchman mobile app, the Today screen on a phone: clear calendar, kids team two short, two waiting on you

With every install

The Watchman, in your pocket

The mobile app ships with every install: the same five screens as the wall, the same numbers, plus a push alert when something crosses a line before Sunday. It never pushes a pastoral emergency to a phone. A crisis goes to a person.

Do you need both?

Start with the staff. The Watchman earns its place later, when there is a week of finished work to put on a wall. They work well together: the Watchman notices volunteer coverage is short on Thursday, and the Volunteer Coordinator seat drafts the ask.

The same covenant governs both. We run your church office. We never touch the pulpit or pastoral care. Minors' information is refused at the door, individual giving is never shown (only totals), and anything that sounds like a crisis goes straight to a person with no draft written. Nothing goes out without you.
