The problem
The problem

Pastors can't be in every conversation.

The names in your head right now. The marriage you have been praying for. The member walking through deconstruction. The grief that arrived at 2am. Sunday morning cannot hold all of it, and your staff already carries more than most people see.

Deconstruction Marriage strain Grief Church hurt Anxious seasons at home The doubt they will not name from a pew
The Sunday math
1 senior pastor
400 people in your care
No pastor can be in every conversation their people need this year. That is a calling problem, not a competence one.

Our commitments
Our commitments

Four things we will not compromise.

These are the lines beneath everything we build. If any part of BetterFaith drifts from them, we fix it before we ship it.

01
We supplement.
We never replace.
The local church is primary. We are additive. Every design choice reinforces it.
02
We send people back to you.
Every guide is trained to reinforce a member's church relationship, not to compete with it.
03
Every guide is theology-matched.
Credentialed, background checked, matched to your statement of faith before your people see a name.
04
The church never pays to start.
Care Partner is free. Not a trial. Not a hook. It stays free as long as we do.

Everything a Care Partner church receives from the day we sign the partnership letter. Care for your people. Support for your team. Dollars back to your ministry.

What your church receives

  • $5 back per session, to a ministry of your choice. Every time one of your members books, we give $5 back to your church. It is how we support the local church directly.
  • Pastor dashboard and weekly digest. Members in care, categories, engagement updates your people opt in to share.
  • Branded QR code and landing page. betterfaith.com/your-church-name. Your name on it. Partner rate applied automatically.

What your congregation receives

Care that fits the season they are in

  • 10% off every session, automatically. Every member, every session, for as long as the partnership lasts.
  • Matched with a guide who fits their story. Theology, season, and the specific care they need.
  • Fifty-minute video sessions. Same guide, cadence that fits their life.
  • Confidential. Session content stays between them and their guide, subject to narrow legal exceptions disclosed in Informed Consent.
  • Optional updates back to you. Only what they choose to share, one at a time.

Vetting
Vetting

How we vet every guide.

We come from the church. Our leadership team and every guide either pastors right now or has spent years doing it. We would rather decline than send you the wrong guide.

Standard 1

Credential floor

M.A. or M.Div. minimum. Real seminary formation. No self-certified guides. Ever.

Standard 2

Background check

National and county records. Refreshed annually. Cost carried by us.

Standard 3

Theology review

Written statement, doctrinal conversation, and a sample pastoral case reviewed by our team.

Standard 4

Statement of faith match

Your church's SoF, verified against theirs. If we cannot match, we tell you.

Standard 5

Ongoing formation

Session review with a supervising pastor, guide mentorship, and member feedback.

We would rather send a member back to Sunday morning than send them to the wrong guide.

Care Sponsor
Care Sponsor

How church-funded care works.

For churches that want to cover sessions for members who could not say yes on their own. Sacred work, given real budget. Care Sponsor also unlocks free sessions for your staff and key volunteers.

Churches usually upgrade when: the benevolence fund is ready to go further than a one-time check, a hard season has hit the congregation (loss, layoff, leadership transition), or a Care Partner church has watched it work and wants to remove the cost barrier entirely.
Session counts are estimates. Actual coverage depends on guide rate and care category. We will confirm exact numbers on the call.

Questions
FAQ

Questions we hear from pastors.

Whatever your team is likely to ask, we would rather it be asked and answered up front. Screenshot any of these and forward.

Q "Won't this pull our people away from us?"
A No, and thank you for asking. It is the most important thing to hear from us. Our guides are trained to reinforce your role in a member's life, not compete with it. We send engagement updates back to you with member consent, and we point people back to your services, your small groups, and to you as their pastor every chance we get.
Q "Is this therapy?"
A No. BetterFaith is spiritual care, discipleship, mentorship, and biblical counseling. We are not a clinical practice. We do not diagnose. If a member needs clinical care, we have a referral process to get them to the right place. We stay in our lane.
Q "How do we know a guide holds our theology?"
A Send us your statement of faith. If we can match it, we tell you. If we cannot, we tell you that too. We would rather decline than mismatch. Every guide is theologically reviewed before your people ever see a name.
Our vetting rubric and referral protocol are documented and shareable on request.
