Every child is
growing — see it.
where faith is ingrained
Grained is one hub for your Sunday School: lessons your teachers actually teach from, attendance in two taps, events and fundraising that parents can pay for online — and a growth journey that shows what a year of faithfulness looks like for every child.
🌳 The Growing in Christ journey moves through seven stages — Seed, Roots, Sprout, Sapling, Tree, Fruit and Harvest — over your ministry year.
drag to turnEverything your Sunday School runs on.
Built with children's workers, not for a generic "church admin" checkbox. Every screen assumes a volunteer with ten minutes before class starts.
Lessons ready to teach
Age groups from nursery to eighteen — story, big idea, memory verse, activity and a quiz with its answers — and we add to your library as you need more. Your teachers write their own alongside them: draft, review, publish.
Teach mode
A full-screen presenter view: story, big idea, memory verse, quiz, activity, prayer — big type, tap-to-reveal answers, screen stays awake.
Attendance in two taps
Tick the roster on a phone. Mark a lesson complete and note who learned the memory verse — that's the whole workflow.
The growth journey
Attendance, lessons, verses and badges become a tree each child grows across your ministry year — scaled to your calendar, not a fixed 52 weeks.
Events & registration
Publish a VBS or camp with ticket types and let parents register from a public page — no login, no paper form.
Fundraising
Run an appeal with a target and a progress bar, on a public page that looks like it belongs to your church. Online card payments are coming soon.
The whole Bible, offline
The King James Bible ships inside the app. Open it on any lesson and it turns to that passage — in a hall with no wifi, on a phone with no signal.
Families at home
The same lessons for families who aren’t part of a church yet — and if your church joins, they come with you. Grained for Families →
This is the actual product.
Not mockups — these are captured from the running app.
A dashboard that answers "how are we doing?"
Children, teachers, class groups and published lessons at a glance — then recent attendance and lesson completions underneath, so you can see the week without running a report.
- Quick actions for the four things you do most
- Scripture in the header, because that's the point
- Works on the phone you're holding in the church hall
Teach mode — for the ten minutes that matter
Open the lesson, hit Teach, and the app becomes a presenter view. Story and big idea, memory verse, each quiz question with tap-to-reveal answers, activity, prayer. Text scales up for the back row and the screen won't sleep mid-lesson.
- Arrow keys, swipe or on-screen dots to move
- Mark the lesson complete without leaving the view
The Bible is already in the room
Every lesson has a “Bible” button, and it opens on that lesson’s own passage with the verses highlighted. The entire King James text is bundled into the app and stored on the device, so it does not matter that the hall has no wifi — and nobody has to borrow a phone from a parent to find Nehemiah.
- Opens at the lesson’s reference; every book and chapter a tap away
- No signal needed — the text is on the device, not fetched
- The same A− / A+ sizing as the rest of teach mode
A public page parents can actually use
Each church gets its own storefront listing published events and fundraising appeals. Parents register or give without creating an account — and it carries your church's name, not ours.
- Ticket types with real prices
- Donation progress against a target
- Parents register or give without an account, and never see church administration
Seven stages, one ministry year.
Children don’t measure faith in a percentage, so Grained doesn’t show them one. Lessons learned, memory verses remembered and Sundays together move a child along a path of seven stages — seed, roots, sprout, sapling, tree, fruit, harvest. Reaching harvest plants a tree in their forest to keep.
Because every church’s ministry year is a different length, Grained scales the stages so harvest lands exactly at your season’s end, not on a fixed calendar.
“Train up a child in the way he should go.” — Proverbs 22:6
