Digital Church Platform

What Digital Church Platform does

The Digital Church Platform® is a UK-based, privately held SaaS company (company number 10415269) that builds web-based church management software purpose-built for the Church of England. The platform comprises five integrated modules — Visitation Documents Management, Role Compliance, Digital Repository, Church Website Builder (CMS), and Archdeacon Visitation — accessed via a web dashboard on desktop or mobile, with role-based access controls and integrations limited to Vimeo, YouTube, and Google Analytics. The company serves individual parishes, diocese-level archdeacon offices, and UK cathedrals, with primary traction in the Diocese of London and named reference customers including Holy Sepulchre, St Stephen's Rochester Row, St Paul's Marylebone, St Cyprian Clarence Gate, St Katharine Cree, and St Olave Hart Street.

The company was founded by Mark Magnacca circa 2015 and launched the platform in early March 2020, immediately before the UK COVID-19 lockdown. Revenue is generated through recurring software subscriptions on an invitation-based, demo-led sales motion with undisclosed pricing and multi-year contract terms. Distribution is conducted via direct demos, clergy network referrals, and content marketing (blog, annual 'State of the Digital Church' and 'State of the Digital Cathedral' benchmarking reports, case studies, and LinkedIn). The company is registered at 107 Cheapside, London EC2V 6DN, holds UK trademark UK00003481502, and shows no evidence of external investment, M&A activity, or partnerships in the source material.

Operationally, the company appears to be founder-operated and bootstrapped through Magnacca's marketing advisory background, with no disclosed employees, revenue, or funding. Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward the Church of England within the Diocese of London, and there is no public pricing, no AI/ML capability, no certifications, and no documented partner ecosystem.

Broad incumbents

• ACS Technologies: Long-standing faith-based software provider offering Parish/Church management, giving, and Catholic/Protestant diocesan solutions; a broad incumbent with deep denominational relationships that competes for the same diocese-level buyer.
• Pushpay: Larger, publicly-traded church engagement platform combining digital giving, church management, and mobile apps; a much broader incumbent that increasingly bundles the compliance and administrative workflows Digital Church Platform specializes in.
• Subsplash: Church engagement platform spanning mobile apps, giving, media, and website CMS — a broad incumbent whose CMS and live-streaming features overlap with Digital Church Platform's Website Builder module.
• FellowshipOne: Church management database with membership, giving, check-in, and integrations, historically popular with US churches; comparable as a broad-horizontal parish management platform.

Emerging players

• Tithe.ly: Church giving, communication, and management platform expanding from giving into broader engagement tools; an emerging player encroaching on the church SaaS stack from a different starting point.

Direct peers

• Icon Systems (IconCMO / IconApp): Church management suite for membership, giving, attendance, and accounting — comparable in scope and target buyer (small to mid-sized parishes), and notably shares the 'CMO' naming lineage with the founder's prior gigCMO advisory work.
• ChurchSuite: UK-based church management software serving a broad set of UK denominations with modules for membership, giving, small groups, events, child check-in, and rotas — the most direct competitor to The Digital Church Platform in the UK parish software market.
• Breeze (by Care for Life): Simple, web-based church management system popular with US and some UK churches for people, giving, events, and check-in; competes for the same small-to-mid-sized parish segment as Digital Church Platform with a self-serve pricing model.
• ChurchTools: European (German-origin) church management platform serving Protestant and other congregations across Europe, offering member, group, event, and resource modules — a comparable European denomination-focused peer.
• Planning Center: Suite of church management apps (People, Giving, Check-Ins, Services, Groups, etc.) used by tens of thousands of churches globally; the leading horizontal incumbent against which any specialized parish SaaS is benchmarked.
