Built by a pastor who needed it himself.
Pastor HQ is built by Jade Hajj, a serving pastor at Grace City Church in Sydney, Australia. Not a software company that discovered churches were a market — a pastor who kept losing track of people he loved, and went looking for a tool that would notice them with him.
When a church is small, you carry everyone in your head. You know who was there on Sunday, who’s been quiet for a month, whose family is going through it. Growth quietly takes that away — not because anyone stops caring, but because no human can hold hundreds of people’s patterns in their memory. The person sliding from four Sundays a month to one is invisible right up until they’re gone.
The software that existed wanted to talk about dashboards and databases. The yearly report still took a fortnight of spreadsheets. And nothing answered the only question that mattered on a Monday morning: who needs me this week?
So Pastor HQ starts there. It reads attendance, groups, giving, and serving — and hands you the people quietly slipping from view, by name, while there’s still a relationship to tend. The reports your governing body asks for fall out the side in minutes, because they should never have been the main event.
How we work
Every number is a person
A dip in a chart is someone’s name. The product is designed to end in a conversation — a call, a visit, a coffee — not in a report.
Watching with your people, not over them
Read-only sync. We never write back to your church software, and pastoral signals stay with your pastoral team. Care, not surveillance.
No fake social proof
You won’t find testimonials here until real churches have genuinely said real things. We’d rather earn a place at the church council than fake reviews.
Honest about where we are
We’re in open beta, pre-first-paying-customer, and we say so on the pricing page. What you will find: a public DPA, subprocessor list, and security page, with data resident in Sydney.
Built alongside ministry, not instead of it
Pastor HQ is built around a real week of pastoral work. That keeps it honest: if a feature wouldn’t survive a Monday morning at a real church, it doesn’t ship.
Talk to the person who builds it.
Pastor HQ is young, and that’s a feature for the churches who join now: a direct line to the founder, an outsized say in what gets built next, and founding-church pricing for as long as you stay. Write any time — about the product, your church software, or whether this fits your church at all.
