No ads. No noise. Just real people, real conversations, and a real mission to live it, share it, and change the world.
Our Mission
At 27:17, we believe discipleship doesn't end when church is over. Our mission is to help Bible study groups, youth ministries, and churches stay connected throughout the week by providing a simple place to encourage one another, share prayer requests, organize events, study Scripture, and build authentic Christian community.
Inspired by Proverbs 27:17 — “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another” — 27:17 exists to strengthen the body of Christ through meaningful, Christ-centered connection.
27:17 is offered freely as a ministry because our goal isn't profit — it's helping believers grow together in faith.
“As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.”
Proverbs 27:17
Our Promise
Most apps make money by selling your attention to advertisers. We don't. 27:17 was built for the community — not for ad revenue.
No banners, no interstitials, no video ads interrupting your Bible reading or prayer time. Ever.
We don't sell your personal information to advertisers or data brokers. What you share in the community stays in the community.
Every feature — Bible, chat rooms, prayer wall, devotionals, games — is fully free for every member. No premium tiers, no subscriptions.
27:17 exists to sharpen people, not to profit from them. We believe a faith community app should feel like a safe place — not a marketplace. This app will always be free, and it will never show you an ad.
Church Network
Churches can apply to join the 27:17 network and get their own verified, password-protected chat rooms — visible to everyone, but only joinable by their congregation.
A church leader fills out a short form in the app with their name, church info, and how they heard about 27:17.
We personally review every request to make sure the church is legitimate before approving it.
Once approved, the church gets a General chat room and a read-only Announcements room, protected by an invite code and password only their members receive.
Every church is visible in the network — spreading the word — but only verified members can join the conversation inside.
