Trellis Directory

A church directory platform designed to strengthen connection within the church community.

Trellis Directory is shaped by the conviction that people should know who is part of their church family and remain meaningfully connected to one another.

Designed for clarity and ease of use, it enables congregations to stay engaged through an intuitive and accessible system.

The church is not a business. Its people are members, not metrics.

Many church software platforms have drifted toward treating congregations as data to manage rather than people to know. Systems are optimized for pipelines, donation tracking, and engagement scores. That approach misses the point.

Trellis Directory is built on a different foundation. It exists to help people know one another and stay meaningfully connected within the life of the church. The goal is simple: support those relationships so leaders can focus on people and the work of ministry.

Built for connection, not the pitch deck

PEOPLE OVER METRICS

No donor analytics dashboards. No engagement scoring. No systems that reduce people to data points. Every feature exists to help ministry leaders know and serve their people well.

CLEAR, CONSISTENT PRICING

No per-member pricing, no consumption fees. Pricing is simple, transparent, and published. Trellis Directory is a directory platform that lets your church grow without charging more.

GUIDED ONBOARDING

Data migration is included. Every church receives hands-on onboarding and continued support after launch. We work alongside your team to ensure the system is understood, adopted, and genuinely useful.

YOUR DATA REMAINS YOURS

Full export is easy and data is clean and well-structured. If a church moves on, there are no barriers. No lock-in, no extraction fees, no unnecessary process to retrieve what already belongs to you.

CHILD SAFETY FIRST

Children are never visible to non-admin members. Every feature is designed with the most sensitive scenarios in mind.

PRIVACY BY DEFAULT

Member profiles are private by default. Individuals choose what to share and with whom. Directory visibility is opt-in. There is no public-facing data and no exposure to scraping. Privacy is foundational, not an afterthought.

Built from within the church

Trellis Directory was not built by a software company studying churches from the outside. It was built by people who sit in the same rooms, serve in the same ministries, and work through the same limitations of tools that cost too much and do too little.

We serve as elders, ministry leaders, volunteers, and stewards. This is not built from a product roadmap, it is built from lived experience.

Trellis Directory is offered at a fair and accessible price because while software has a cost, the conviction behind it does not.

Why Trellis Directory?

A trellis supports what grows. It provides the structure that allows something living to take shape and flourish. That is what Trellis Directory is designed to do: to support the work and ministry of the church.

The name is drawn from John 15.

Built for ministry, by ministry.
