The story
Founded 2005 as a design/consulting shop for enterprise clients like Xbox and Microsoft, Subsplash pivoted to church technology in 2009 by building the first church iPhone app. It expanded from mobile apps into a full vertical SaaS suite for churches (websites, media hosting, livestreaming, ChMS, events, messaging), then added embedded payments in the form of Subsplash Giving — operated by a dedicated subsidiary, Subsplash Wallet LLC, on top of Stripe. The company has since layered AI (Pulpit AI, Trends AI) on top of its ministry data.
