For Christian colleges
Know every student. From chapel to commencement.
Chapel, discipleship groups, campus ministry, mentoring and alumni giving on one record per student, with an Assistant that tells your staff who needs them this week and why.
Now taking founding colleges for spring 2027, with founding pricing and a direct hand in shaping the product.
Where we start
Every first-year class has someone who doesn’t come back.
72.1%
Average first-to-second-year retention at CCCU member schools.
About 31%
of first-year students don’t return to the school they started at.
24%
Belonging now ties with cost as a reason students consider stopping out, at 24% each.
Chapel
Turn chapel attendance into a reason to reach out.
Many Christian colleges require chapel, and many track it, often by scanning an ID or a code at the door. Too often the count lands in a spreadsheet and surfaces at the end of term as a compliance problem. The same attendance can tell you, in week four, which student hasn’t been seen and might need someone.
Works today
Chapel as a check-in session.
- Run each chapel as a check-in session
- See who came to every service
- Each student’s attendance on their record, beside their groups, mentor and messages
- Message a group, or everyone going to an event, by email, in the app or by text
Building with founding colleges
From attendance to care.
- Chapel credit counts for each student
- Requirement tracking across the term
- The Assistant turning missed chapels into a “who needs us” list, with the reason and a note drafted for a chaplain or RA
Discipleship and campus ministry
Spiritual formation and student life, in the same place.
Discipleship groups
Each group gets its own space for posts, events and members, with leaders who can run it. Students find a group from their phone.
Campus ministry
Worship nights, retreats and mission trips with RSVPs, tickets and check-in, and messages by email, in the app and by text.
Mentoring
Pair students with staff, faculty or upper-class mentors. Mentoring programs handle applications, pairing, steps, check-ins and nudges.
Courses
A discipleship course or a leader training with lessons, and progress you can see for each student.

The faith pack
Made for faith communities.
Socio Connect’s faith pack was built for churches, and it fits campus ministry too.
- A prayer wall
- A sermon library, which works for chapel messages
- Discipleship tracks
Alumni giving
Every gift to your college. No platform fee.
Fundraising campaign pages and gifts go straight to your college’s own Stripe account. The graduate who found a home in a discipleship group is on the same record when they give for the first time, and the Assistant flags it so someone says thank you.

Who we are
Why a Christian team.
We’re a small Christian team in Carmel, Indiana. Socio Connect already runs groups, giving and check-in for churches, so chapel, small groups and campus ministry aren’t a bolt-on for us. We know what it means to care for a student’s faith as well as their grades, and we build for it.
We start with Christian colleges in Indiana and the Midwest, and we want to be close enough to sit in your student life office.
