ZANUS FRONT OFFICE FOR CHURCHES & FAITH COMMUNITIES
Next-generation AI for Churches & Faith Communities. Try it free on your own congregation. No credit card.
Every call answered. Every visitor welcomed. Every pastoral request in a pastor’s hands, at once. ZANUS AI Front Office for Churches is the AI receptionist, scheduler and follow-up desk for congregations, parishes, dioceses and ministries. It answers members and visitors on phone, website chat, email and connect cards — service times, directions and parking, childcare, what to expect on a first Sunday, how to join a group or a team — books rooms, rehearsals and appointments with the clergy into the right calendar, takes event and volunteer sign-ups, explains the facility-use policy and fee schedule, and follows up with every newcomer within the day. Prayer, pastoral care and anything confidential go to a person immediately. Grounded only in the information your church approves: no source, no claim.

What happens to every inquiry — in your congregation
A call at 7 PM on Friday, a chat before the first visit, an email from a funeral home, a connect card, a volunteer form — a member, a visitor, a bereaved daughter, a scout leader. Any hour, in any of 40 languages.
Service times, directions and parking, childcare, what to expect, programs and groups, the facility-use policy, how to give — from your approved information only. No source, no claim.
Member or first-time visitor, a room or a ceremony, a sign-up or a shift change, a question about giving or a request for prayer — your routing rules applied in the conversation. Anything pastoral goes to a person at once.
Book the room or the appointment with the clergy, register for the event or the team, send the fee document, file the facility request for approval, transfer to the pastor on call with the context whispered in, call back the hang-up.
The thank-you the evening of the first visit, the newcomer class invitation, the reminder before the retreat, the shift reminder on Thursday, the seasonal invitation — on schedule, light, until done; a reply hands the thread to a person.
Every touch on the household’s front-office record. Every morning a briefing: what was handled overnight, which requests wait for approval, who needs a pastor today.
AI-driven end to end. A person wherever your rules require it. Anything pastoral, anything about a person’s giving, anything involving a child or a crisis, and anything outside your approved information waits for your people; the routine, the AI handles and reports.
One knowledge base feeds every channel
Websites, uploads, pages and articles, Q&A, battle cards, images and videos — you approve it once, and phone, chat, email, demos and quotes all answer from the same verified source. No source, no claim.
40 languages, one bill, a help drawer over every screen
Languages and website translation, billing with plans, top-ups and alerts, onboarding, users & security, and the help drawer that answers from the platform manual — the plumbing that comes with it.
Private by architecture
Your Front Office runs in a private Cloudflare environment dedicated to your company — your own data-processing container, not a shared pool. Your knowledge stays yours: it never trains global models like GPT or Grok, and it is never shared.
- Private data-processing environment per company
- Grounded only in your knowledge
- Claim guard: no source, no claim
- Private environment option: an isolated environment with enterprise-grade security certifications, on request
Auto-Call — the AI calls your members and visitors
Not only answering. From an automated event (a due date, a ready order, tomorrow’s appointment), a scheduled funnel or a list, the AI calls your registered contacts and announces your message — or talks as an agent: answers the question, moves the appointment, confirms, collects the missing detail. Call window, attempts, voicemail policy and consent rules are yours; every call is transcribed.
- “Hi Grace, this is St. Andrew’s reminding you that the youth retreat forms are due Sunday — you can return them at the office or online.”
- “Hi Paul, this is St. Andrew’s calling to confirm your baptism preparation meeting on Wednesday at 7. Does that still work for your family?”
Scheduled Auto-Call comes inside a solution — see pricing; calling back the hang-ups is part of AI Phone. How it works, in the Phone chapter ›
The same Front Office, by job
The jobs a congregation names most often — each explained in full: what falls through the cracks today, a day with the AI on the job, every function seen from that job.
Questions, answered
Does the AI offer prayer, spiritual counsel or answers on doctrine?
No. It answers only from the information your church approves — service times, programs, what to expect, facility policy, how to give, the published requirements for ceremonies. It does not pray in its own words, counsel, interpret teaching or decide who may marry or be baptized here: a prayer or care request is filed and handed to the pastor on call, a bereavement or crisis call is transferred at once or given your approved emergency instructions word for word, a ceremony inquiry becomes a conversation with the clergy. No source, no claim.
What happens to our members’ information?
Your Front Office runs on a private data-processing environment dedicated to your congregation; your information never trains public models and is never shared. Giving history stays in your finance systems and is not in the front office. Dioceses and organizations whose policies require an isolated environment with specific certifications ask for a private environment — available on request.
Does it replace our church-management system?
No. It sits in front of it: the AI answers, books and follows up, then writes contacts, bookings and requests back through Connectors — native calendar sync, webhooks and API. Membership, giving and check-in stay where they are; the phone stops ringing unanswered on Friday night.
Try it free on your own congregation. 7 days. No credit card.
Give it your website. It learns your company. Then call it, chat with it, e-mail it — and decide. Nothing to install, nothing to cancel.
