Gathad
Something big is about to happen

A bulletin built for the way Adventists gather, worship, and stay connected.

Soon your church will be able to do what paper never allowed: reach everyone, anywhere, RSVP, give, and reply with a tap, and never miss what matters.

Join early and help shape what we build.

Gathad is a digital bulletin for Seventh-Day Adventist churches. The same bulletin your church loves, left on the pew, now carried with you all week.

For Pastors

On Sabbath morning, your bulletin works

It's the days after — when your members are trying to remember what was announced — and the bulletin is back on the pew, or already in the recycling at home. Gathad keeps it with them all week.

For Bulletin Coordinators

Gathad works before, during, and after Sabbath.

From gathering announcements to sharing the program to keeping it useful all week — the bulletin comes together without the scramble.

Announcements no longer arrive as scattered texts, emails, and hallway notes. Ministry leaders add their own, and they go straight into the bulletin. You just look them over and approve.

The Church Bulletin PDF Problem Most Churches Don’t Know About

Uploading the church bulletin online as a PDF is a real step forward. The instinct to reach people beyond the building is exactly right. But a print-formatted PDF and a truly readable digital document are two different things, especially on a phone. Most churches don’t know what their bulletin actually looks like in their members’ hands. This article names the problems and offers a practical standard for doing better.

What Happens to the Sabbath Bulletin on Monday?

The Sabbath bulletin does its job beautifully on Sabbath morning. Then everyone goes home, and the announcements and events go quiet, while the week keeps going. This post looks at the gap between Sabbath morning and the rest of the week, what church communication research says about it, and how a digital bulletin keeps the same information working until the next Sabbath.

The Number One Reason People Miss Church Announcements

People don't miss church announcements because they weren't listening. They hear them. They just can't act in the moment, so the choice slides to later, and the week swallows it. This post looks at the real reason announcements don't stick, what the research says about memory and attention, and how a digital bulletin changes that.

For Members

Never copy the bulletin into your phone again.

You take it home meaning to add that date… and you never do. Now every event is already on your phone, ready when you are.

The reminder you'd never set yourself

You were never going to add it to your calendar, and that's okay. Gathad remembers the events you cared about and nudges you before the day.

Questions, answered

A clearer bulletin starts here.

A few things churches and members naturally want to know before Gathad arrives.

Gathad carries your bulletin beyond Sabbath morning. Programs, announcements, events, and next steps stay together in one simple place that members can open from their phones all week.

Church teams use Gathad to gather and share the bulletin. Members use it to remember what was announced, respond to invitations, save important dates, and follow the churches that matter to them.

There is no need to change everything at once. Churches can continue printing while giving members a digital version to carry home. Over time, each church can choose the balance that best serves its congregation.

Members will not need to type out a long address or hunt for a new file each week. The same shareable link and QR code can lead them to the current, up-to-date bulletin.

When a time, location, or announcement changes, an authorized church leader can update it in one place. Members opening the bulletin will see the latest information instead of an outdated copy.

We will invite early churches in stages so we can learn carefully and build something genuinely useful. Join the waitlist and we will keep you updated on progress and early-access opportunities.

No more guessing whether members saw the announcement, or repeating it for weeks. They read it — and they act on it, right there. The bulletin stops being something you broadcast and becomes something your church takes part in.
