How it works
This marketplace helps members of our church give away useful items and find things they need — free of charge. The church provides the platform only; every exchange is a voluntary arrangement between the donor and the seeker.
Getting started
For everyone — create your account and find your way around.
- 1
Create an account
Tap Sign in, then Sign up. Use Find your church to search for your church, pick it, and enter the invite code your church gave you. Read and accept the terms when they appear. If your church isn't listed, use Register your church instead.
- 2
Complete your profile
Open Profile and add your name, phone number and pickup preferences (for example 'weekday evenings'). Your phone is only shared with the other person once an exchange is accepted.
- 3
Choose your church
The main page is shared by every church. Pick yours from the Churches menu at the top to see its items, colours and news. If you belong to more than one church, switch between them there.
- 4
Browse
Items shows donated goods. Wanted shows things members are looking for. Use the category filters to narrow the list.
- 5
Like items
Tap the heart on any item to save it. Find everything you liked under Dashboard → Liked items.
- 6
Watch the bell
The bell at the top shows alerts — new pickup times, confirmations and changes. Tap an alert to open that conversation.

Message the church
Open Messages to send a private note to the church team and read their replies.

Register a new church
Leading a church that isn't on the site yet? Tap Register your church on the home page or in the top menu, fill in your church and Church Community Leader details, and a Platform Admin will review it.
Tips
- Never share bank or card details — nothing is ever paid in this app.
- Meet in a safe, well-lit place or at the church when possible.
