Built by church leaders, for church leaders
We're on a mission to help churches focus on what matters most - building community and spreading their message.
Our Story
Daily One Accord was born from a simple observation: church leaders were spending too much time on administrative tasks and not enough time on ministry. We saw pastors juggling spreadsheets, struggling with outdated software, and missing opportunities to connect with their congregations.
Founded in 2025 by Wes Shinn and Keiko Chibana-Shinn, we set out to build the platform we wished we had. We combined decades of ministry experience with modern technology to create a solution that truly understands the unique needs of churches.
Today, we're building tools that help churches streamline operations, engage their members, and grow their communities. We're just getting started on this journey.
The Problem
Most churches juggle five to ten disconnected tools for attendance, giving, scheduling, and communication. This fragmentation causes wasted time, data loss, poor visitor follow-up, and frustration among staff and volunteers. Existing platforms can be overpriced, outdated, or too complex—especially for small and mid-sized churches.
Key Pain Points:
Time Waste:
10-20 hours per week on duplicate data entry and tool switching
High Costs:
$5,000-$20,000 annually on fragmented subscriptions
Poor Integration:
Disconnected systems lead to lost visitors and missed follow-ups
Staff Frustration:
Complex interfaces and outdated technology hinder ministry effectiveness
The Solution
Daily One Accord consolidates all core functions—attendance tracking, team coordination, event scheduling, communications, and automation—into a unified, intuitive interface. With native integrations for Slack, Google Drive, and Telnyx SMS, the platform automates workflows and creates seamless collaboration between ministry leaders and teams.

Unified Platform:
Replace 5-10 tools with one integrated system
Massive Savings:
Save $4,000-$36,000+ annually vs Planning Center
Modern Technology:

Slack-Native:
Real-time collaboration where teams already work
Time Savings:

Faith-Driven:
Designed by ministry leaders for ministry leaders
Biblical Foundation & Theological Rationale
Daily One Accord exists to serve the Church with tools that reflect biblical principles of unity, order, stewardship, shepherding care, and mission.
1) Unity that strengthens the Body
Jesus prays, "that they may all be one" (John 17:21). A unified platform helps leaders, teams, and members move together—reducing silos and strengthening fellowship (Acts 2:42–47; 1 Cor. 12).
What this Means:
One place for communication, service planning, and follow-up so ministries operate as one, not as disconnected parts.
2) Order that frees people to serve
"Let all things be done decently and in order" (1 Cor. 14:40). Good systems don't replace the Spirit's work—they remove friction so people can serve with clarity.
What this Means:
Shared calendars, service rundowns, roles/permissions, and repeatable workflows that reduce confusion and last-minute chaos (Acts 6:1–7 shows the early church organizing care so the Word could spread).
3) Stewardship that multiplies resources
"It is required of stewards that they be found faithful" (1 Cor. 4:2); the parable of the talents commends wise multiplication (Matt. 25:14–30).
What this Means:
Affordable pricing, automation to save time, and analytics that guide wise decisions—helping churches do more ministry with fewer tools and lower costs (Prov. 27:23 "know well the condition of your flocks").
4) Shepherding care that doesn't lose people
Jesus pursues the one (Luke 15). Pastors are called to "shepherd the flock of God" (1 Pet. 5:2).
What this Means:
Visitor pipelines, follow-up reminders, attendance insights, and notes—so people are known, contacted, and cared for, not lost between spreadsheets and apps.
5) Mission and discipleship made practical
The Great Commission calls us to make disciples (Matt. 28:19–20), which requires teaching, gathering, and sending with intention.
What this Means:
Tools for classes, teams, communications, and events—so discipleship rhythms are scheduled, measurable, and repeatable.
6) Mercy, justice, and integrity
Pure religion includes caring for the vulnerable (Jas. 1:27) and walking in integrity (Prov. 11:3).
What this Means:
Privacy-first design, role-based access, and auditability. Sensitive data is safeguarded; communication honors dignity.
How These Principles Shape Daily One Accord
Unified communication
minimizes confusion, encourages one-anothering (John 13:34–35).
Clear roles & permissions
equips the whole body to serve (Eph. 4:11–16).
Automated follow-up
pursues people with consistent care (Luke 15).
Transparent metrics
supports faithful stewardship and planning (1 Cor. 4:2).
Affordable pricing
frees resources for mission and mercy (Acts 4:32–35).
Ministry Posture (Guardrails)
The principles that guide everything we do
People Over Process
Tools support pastoral wisdom; they don't replace it. We believe technology should serve ministry and help you focus on what matters most - your people.
Privacy & Dignity
Sensitive data is protected; communications honor people. We're committed to enterprise-grade security and treating every member with respect.
Simplicity First
We reduce noise so leaders can focus on presence and prayer (Acts 6:4). Church management shouldn't be complicated—we build intuitive tools that anyone can master quickly.
Kingdom Impact
Success is measured by faithfulness, fruit, and care—not vanity metrics. We're building for eternal impact, not just growth numbers.

Watching couples get married and adventures with my family.
Daily One Accord represents my commitment to serving churches with the same dedication I've brought to capturing life's most important moments. Just as I build genuine connections with couples to capture their authentic stories, I'm committed to understanding the unique needs of each church we serve.
