Saved By Grace is a Christian community app that brings your group, small group, or church family into one private space — with the complete King James Bible, an Audio Bible, hymns, and a Scripture study companion built in. GROUPS THAT STAY PRIVATE Create or join a group with a simple group code. Group admins approve who comes in, and everything you share — prayer requests, photos, events, documents — stays inside that group. PRAYER REQUESTS Post a request, add a photo or video, or share it anonymously. Let others know you're praying, and comment with encouragement. PROFILES, POSTS, AND COMMENTS Share photos and videos from gatherings, tap anyone's picture to see their profile, react to comments, and tap links to open them. GROUP CHATS Real-time messaging with reactions, edits, and read receipts. Share photos and videos privately with the people you trust. THE BIBLE, READ AND HEARD The complete King James Version is included offline. Read, search, bookmark verses, and build lesson plans. Listen to any chapter with the Audio Bible — choose the Adam or Eve narrator (computer-generated voices), follow along as each verse is highlighted, and download books for offline listening. ASK THE BIBLE Have a conversation about Scripture. Ask about a passage, a person, or a topic, and get an explanation drawn from the King James text with the verses to read for yourself. Say "bookmark that" or "add that to my lesson" to save them. Answers are for study and reference, not advice. HYMNS AND SONG BOOKS Hundreds of public-domain hymns, your own My Song Book, and a Group Song Book where leaders can add songs and record accompaniments. SERVICES, LIVE AUDIO, AND EVENTS Listen to recorded services, join live audio broadcasts from your group's leaders, and see upcoming events and documents shared by admins. PRIVACY FIRST No ads. No tracking. No selling your data. You can delete your account at any time from inside the app. Read our privacy policy at https://saved-by-grace-2e06b.web.app Built by an independent developer for the Body of Christ. May the Lord bless your fellowship.
