What does FlockConnect LLC make?
Two pieces of software for churches, each with its own website. FlockConnect helps a church's whole team keep up with care for each person. Ozzie by FlockConnect prepares Sunday decisions for church staff from Planning Center. Both are built so that the software prepares and a person decides.
- FlockConnect
- A Church Relationship Manager (ChRM): pastoral care software that works alongside the church management system a church already runs. Pastors, church staff and volunteer care leaders use it to notice who the church hasn't seen lately and follow through. Church members never log in.
- About FlockConnect · flockconnect.com
- Ozzie by FlockConnect
- A Mac app for church staff and ministry leaders. It reads a church's Planning Center, checks the coming Sunday against the church's own rules, and lays out what needs a decision. It drafts notes for a person to send and never sends anything itself. Its code is open source.

What defines the company?
Four commitments, stated in public so churches can hold the company to them. FlockConnect is not for sale. The company has no outside investors. A church's data belongs to the church. And in both products the AI drafts while a person decides, so neither tool contacts church members on its own.
- Not for sale
- The founder publicly pledged on July 15, 2026 that FlockConnect is not for sale, and he restates it every year.
- Independent
- Self-funded, with no outside investors and none being sought.
- Your data
- In FlockConnect, each church is the controller of its own data. FlockConnect never sells it, and an account owner can export it at any time.
- People decide
- The AI drafts. Nothing reaches a church member until a person approves it or sends it.
Read each commitment in full, with links to the documents that bind it.
