                <div class="practice-card"><h3><span class="practice-icon">&#x1F3E0;</span> Start with Sunday</h3><p>Build the Sunday morning experience first: service times, live stream link, giving button, and announcements. Get your congregation using the app for the weekly touchpoint, then expand to events, groups, and directories.</p></div>
                <div class="practice-card"><h3><span class="practice-icon">&#x1F514;</span> Use Push Notifications Wisely</h3><p>Send push notifications for genuinely important updates: service changes, urgent prayer needs, and upcoming events. Over-notifying leads to app uninstalls. Aim for 1&ndash;2 notifications per week maximum.</p></div>
                <div class="practice-card"><h3><span class="practice-icon">&#x1F465;</span> Build the Directory Carefully</h3><p>Member directories need privacy controls. Use Adalo's role-based visibility to show full contact details to leaders while showing limited info to general members. Get consent before displaying member photos.</p></div>
                <div class="practice-card"><h3><span class="practice-icon">&#x1F4B3;</span> Simplify the Giving Flow</h3><p>The giving experience should take no more than three taps: open app, tap Give, confirm amount. Connect Stripe or Tithe.ly via Zapier for secure payment processing. Show giving history for tax receipts.</p></div>

<div class="practice-card">
                    <h3><span class="practice-icon">&#x1F4CB;</span> Import Member Data from Sheets</h3>
                    <p>If your member directory or giving records live in Google Sheets, use SheetBridge to connect them as a relational database. Migrate contacts, families, and groups without re-entry.</p>
                </div>

<div class="practice-card">
                    <h3><span class="practice-icon">&#x1F9EA;</span> Launch with Your Leadership Team</h3>
                    <p>Have 10–15 leaders and volunteers use the app for two weeks before the congregation launch. Staff adoption drives member adoption—if leaders use it, members follow.</p>

            <div class="faq-container">
                <div class="faq-item"><h3 class="faq-question">What is Adalo?</h3><div class="faq-answer"><p>Adalo is the no-code app builder that pairs AI-powered generation with a visual multi-screen canvas, so entrepreneurs and business teams can design, build, and publish custom database-driven apps to the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, and web from a single project &mdash; no code, no developers required.</p></div></div>
                <div class="faq-item"><h3 class="faq-question">Can I integrate online giving into my church app?</h3><div class="faq-answer"><p>Yes. Connect to payment processors like Stripe or Tithe.ly through Zapier or Adalo's Custom Actions. Members can give tithes and offerings securely from the app with a few taps. Giving records are stored in the database so you can provide year-end giving statements. Adalo doesn't process payments directly&mdash;you'll use a third-party payment provider, which means you keep your existing giving platform if you have one.</p></div></div>
                <div class="faq-item"><h3 class="faq-question">Can I stream sermons live through the app?</h3><div class="faq-answer"><p>Yes. Embed YouTube Live, Vimeo, or Facebook Live streams directly into your app using Adalo's WebView component. For recorded sermons, embed video from YouTube or Vimeo into a sermon library screen. The app provides a branded viewing experience while your church's existing streaming platform handles the broadcast infrastructure.</p></div></div>
                <div class="faq-item"><h3 class="faq-question">Can I build a member directory with privacy controls?</h3><div class="faq-answer"><p>Yes. Adalo's built-in database and visibility rules let you control what information different user roles can see. Leaders can access full contact details, while general members see only the information each person has chosen to share. This is built into Adalo's permissions system without additional plugins.</p></div></div>
                <div class="faq-item"><h3 class="faq-question">Can I send push notifications for events and announcements?</h3><div class="faq-answer"><p>Yes. Adalo's native iOS and Android apps support push notifications. Send alerts about service changes, upcoming events, urgent prayer requests, and weekly announcements. Push notifications are significantly more effective than email for reaching members in real time&mdash;especially for last-minute service changes or weather cancellations.</p></div></div>
                <div class="faq-item"><h3 class="faq-question">Can I manage volunteer schedules in the app?</h3><div class="faq-answer"><p>Yes. Build volunteer sign-up screens where members indicate their availability for specific ministry roles&mdash;greeters, worship team, children's ministry, audio/visual, and more. Use Adalo's relational database to track schedules, and send push notification reminders before each volunteer's assigned service.</p></div></div>
                <div class="faq-item"><h3 class="faq-question">What can't Adalo do for church apps?</h3><div class="faq-answer"><p>Adalo excels at building custom church apps with your own ministry workflow and brand, but it's not a drop-in replacement for dedicated church management software. Features like built-in payment processing, automated tax receipt generation, multi-campus management with separate data silos, and advanced volunteer scheduling with shift-swapping require platforms like Planning Center, Pushpay, or Subsplash. Adalo also doesn't host live video&mdash;you'd embed streams from YouTube or Vimeo. For churches that want a branded native app with the specific features their congregation uses at a fraction of dedicated platform pricing, Adalo is the practical choice.</p></div></div>
                <div class="faq-item"><h3 class="faq-question">How much does it cost to build a church app with Adalo?</h3><div class="faq-answer"><p>Adalo's paid plans start at $36/mo with unlimited usage&mdash;no caps on members, events, sermons, or storage. Compare that to dedicated church app platforms that charge $50&ndash;$200+/month. The free plan includes 500 database records so you can prototype your church app before committing any budget. For churches with tight budgets, that $36/mo covers native iOS and Android apps plus a web app&mdash;all from one build.</p></div></div>
