Networks for · Churches & faith groups
A private online community for your congregation
Share service times, prayer requests and volunteer rotas with your church, parish or faith group — in a private space that members can reach from any phone, and that leaders can moderate with care.
Free · No ads in your feed · Public, private or hidden
Harvest Sunday: food bank donations by Thursday please. Volunteers for setting up — comment below.
Prayer requests in a safe space
Members share what's on their heart, and only approved members can read it. Leaders can moderate anything that needs care.
Service times and notices on top
Pin this week's services, the rota or the building notice, and post updates below.
Small groups and ministries
Run separate hidden networks for youth leaders, the choir or a study group. Each person can run up to five networks.
Organise volunteers
Use polls and comments to fill the coffee rota or the food bank shifts.

Frequently asked questions
Is it only for Christian churches?
No. Parishes, mosques, synagogues, temples, gurdwaras and any faith or spiritual community can use a duno network.
Can we keep prayer requests private?
Yes. In a private or hidden network only members see posts. For very sensitive requests, members can also send a direct message to a leader.
Can we livestream services?
duno doesn't host livestreams. You can post a link to your stream in the network and pin it.
Can we accept donations through duno?
No. duno doesn't process payments. Share your usual giving page in your About section if you wish.
Is it free?
Yes. Creating a network, inviting people, posting and moderating are free on duno. There are no paid plans for networks and no ads in your feed.
Do members need a duno account?
Yes. Everyone joins with a free duno account, which takes about a minute to create. People must be at least 13. Each member decides whether their own profile is public or visible to logged-in members only.
Ready when you are
It takes about two minutes to set up a network. You can keep it hidden until it's ready, then invite people.
