## What is OurHolyLife?

OurHolyLife is a church operating system that combines two purpose-built mobile apps — one for members and one for church leadership. It provides prayer walls, event management, online giving, live streaming, AI-powered sermon tools, and real-time chat for churches of any size, starting free.

Unlike traditional church management software that focuses on admin tasks, OurHolyLife is designed as a full operating system for modern churches — combining member engagement (prayer, chat, events) with admin tools (analytics, giving reports, member management) in one platform.

## Two Apps, One Platform

### Member App
The member app is for every person in the congregation. Features include:
- **Prayer Wall**: Post and pray for prayer requests in real-time. Church-wide and global prayer walls. Anonymous posting supported.
- **Events**: Browse, RSVP, and get reminders for church events. Calendar integration.
- **Sermons**: Watch live streams and access the sermon library. Download for offline viewing.
- **Giving**: Tithe and give offerings online. Multiple payment methods (UPI, Razorpay, Stripe, ACH, bank transfer).

### Church Admin App
The admin app is for pastors, elders, and church staff. Features include:
