Church newsletters are a great way to keep your congregation up to date with what's going on.
However, most tools are clearly not designed with your needs in mind. They're overly complicated — optimized for large, impersonal newsletters like retailers or large companies. They're expensive, and they focus on the wrong things. You don't need detailed automations or analytics — you just need an easy, reliable way to keep your audience informed and engaged.
Enter Buttondown — a simple, reliable tool for managing subscribers and sending emails, whether it's to a few dozen folks or to thousands. We scale with your needs and make sure you spend less time futzing with annoying software and more time on what really matters.
Manage your congregation with ease
Keep track of your members, organize them by small groups or ministries, and send targeted messages when needed.
Collect feedback and stay connected
Use surveys to gather prayer requests, volunteer sign-ups, or feedback on events — all without leaving Buttondown.
Privacy-first by default
Your congregation's data is private. Control what gets tracked and what doesn't — you can even disable tracking entirely if you prefer.
Built for communities like yours
Buttondown works great for all kinds of community newsletters — whether you're running an HOA, coordinating a nonprofit, or just keeping friends and family in the loop. And with our surveys feature, you can collect RSVPs, prayer requests, or feedback directly from your emails.
