Join Us at Gloo: Connecting the Faith Ecosystem with Advanced Technologies

At Gloo, we believe that a connected and thriving faith community can change the world, one life at a time. We recognize the faith ecosystem is broad and diverse. It includes churches, parachurch ministries and thousands of non-faith based organizations committed to advancing the flourishing of people. Our purpose is simple yet profound: to release the passion in every person to be all they were created to be.

We are a mission-driven organization, guided by four core principles:

  • Shape Technology for Good: Whether it’s AI tools, dashboards, or communication tools, we empower leaders with values-aligned solutions that amplify their missional impact.
  • Serve Those Who Serve: From pastors and donors to network leaders and content creators—we’re passionate about providing technology that helps them do more of what they are called to do. 
  • Release Collective Strength: We connect the diverse faith ecosystem—churches, parachurch ministries and thousands of non-faith based organizations committed to advancing the flourishing of people—so they can achieve more together than they could alone.
  • Enable Trusted Exchange: Trust is the foundation of a connected faith community. We enable transparency, digital rights management, and simplicity to foster confident collaboration.
