See how your church can stay with grieving families

7,000+ churches have gaps in their grief care. Most pastors don't know where theirs are until they look.
What Anchored gives your church
A named anchor couple
Assigned to every grieving family or individual — not whoever's available, but someone who owns their care.
A daily signal
One tap — green, yellow, or red — so your pastor always knows how each person is doing without anyone having to make an uncomfortable call.
Reminders on hard dates
The first birthday without them, the first holiday, the one-year mark — automatic reminders so no one feels forgotten.
Built-in anchor training
Training for your anchor couples across six types of loss: child loss, widow and widower care, church family loss, loss of a parent, tragedy and trauma, and general grief.
"Anchored was built by Nathan and Jenni Rae Oates after losing their son Hosea at four weeks old. They built what they wished their church had given them — a system to stay. Every feature in Anchored exists because grief doesn't end after the funeral."
In memory of Hosea — held briefly, loved always.
