Sermon Library
Every sermon, always one tap away
Your sermons are on YouTube but your members can't find them. ChurchNET puts every video in one library inside the app your congregation already uses — no scattered links, no forgotten channels.
Why your sermons aren't getting watched
The problem isn't your content — it's where you put it.
Your YouTube channel is invisible
Members don’t know it exists or forget the link. Your sermons sit on YouTube with single-digit views while your congregation wonders where to find last Sunday’s lesson.
Sermons are scattered
Some are on YouTube, some on Facebook, some buried on the church website. There’s no single place a member can go to find every sermon.
Visitors can’t find your teaching
A family exploring your congregation wants to hear your preaching before their first visit — but there’s no central, easy-to-find library to point them to.
YouTube videos, inside your church app
Every feature is built around how churches actually share sermons.
Paste any YouTube link and you’re done
Admins paste a YouTube URL — watch link, short link, embed link, or live link — and ChurchNET parses it automatically. The sermon appears in the library instantly with a thumbnail and title. No file uploads, no processing, no waiting.
A browseable library your members will actually use
Members see a clean list of all videos with YouTube thumbnails, titles, and dates — organized newest-first. It’s the sermon archive your congregation has been asking for, built right into the app they already open every week.
Plays where your members are
On mobile, videos open in the YouTube app members already have installed. On the web, they embed directly in the browser with fullscreen support. No extra apps, no extra accounts.
Simple management, clean experience
Only church admins can add or remove videos — members get a clean, read-only library. Remove a video with a single swipe. Changes sync in real time across every member’s device.
Two experiences, one app
Members watch. Admins manage. Everyone gets exactly what they need.
