Gloo and ChurchAI do different jobs for your church. Gloo is an all-in-one workspace of AI tools, from email and texting to dashboards and AI assistants. ChurchAI watches over every person in your church and tells your team who needs you this week, why, and the check-in to send.
You will. ChurchAI tracks attendance, giving, serving and groups for every person, every week, against their own history. When a family's pattern breaks, they're on your team's list with what changed beside them.
| Dimension | ChurchAI | Gloo |
|---|---|---|
| What it's built for | Noticing each person who's starting to drift, and lining up the check-in. | An all-in-one workspace of AI tools: communications, insights and AI assistants. |
| The question it answers | Who in your church needs you this week, and why. | How your church is doing, through dashboards, assessments and comparisons with similar ministries. |
| How follow-up happens | A check-in written for one person, about the reason they came up, sent by text or email. | Texts, email, broadcasts and keyword workflows, plus AI assistants that complete follow-ups and scheduling. |
| Where it fits | Alongside Planning Center, Breeze, CCB/Pushpay or Subsplash, working from the records you keep. | Its own workspace, connecting tools such as Planning Center, HubSpot and Mailchimp. |
You will. ChurchAI watches over each person, not the headcount, so when a family stops coming your team sees the family. Every one comes with the why, on the short list your team gets every Monday.
They will. Each check-in is drafted for one person, about one thing, in your church's voice. Your team approves every drafted check-in and can change anything first. If a teammate already reached out this week, you'll see it.

Yes, you can run both. They do different jobs. Gloo keeps carrying the texts, email and dashboards your team uses it for. ChurchAI works from the records in your church management system and shows your team who needs you this week, with the reason and the check-in ready.
No. ChurchAI compares each person in your church with their own history, because that's what tells you who needs you this week. It weighs attendance, giving, serving and groups together. Every month you also get your church written up for you: what's growing, what's slipping, and who needs you.
No. Your communications team keeps the texts, email and broadcasts they run today. ChurchAI's list goes to whoever owns follow-up, usually a connections or assimilation pastor, because it pays off when the person reading it is the one who'll pick up the phone.
ChurchAI is quoted per church. On one call you'll see who'd be on your team's list first, and you'll leave with a quote for your church.
ChurchAI works from your church management system, not from your Gloo account. Today that's Planning Center, Breeze, CCB/Pushpay or Subsplash, with attendance and giving history to start. And if you're two hundred people and your staff know every family, we'll tell you so on the call.

The best church member retention tools in 2026 are the ones that spot disengagement before it becomes departure. Here is what actually holds up when a 400-person church has one part-time admin and a pastor who preaches four times a month.

Look for four things, in this order: whether the platform can tell you who is drifting away before they stop showing up, whether it acts on that signal automatically instead of waiting for someone to read a report, whether it combines attendance, giving, serving, and communication response into one member record, and whether it works alongside the church management system you already own.

Yes, AI can help a pastor with member follow-up and communication, and it stays personal as long as AI does the noticing and drafting while a human does the knowing and the sending.
Bring the records your church already keeps. On one call you'll see who'd be on your team's list first, the reason beside each family, and the check-in ChurchAI would draft for each one. You'll leave with a quote for your church.
