Flame: The Scripture Memory Tool Built for Your Entire Church

Scripture memory programs don't make it past week three. Not because the people are unwilling — but because the tools aren't built for a whole church.

A verse card handout or a Sunday challenge gets a burst of energy, then quietly disappears. You don't know who's actually practicing, who's stuck, and who's fallen off — until you ask around at small group. And a single curriculum can't serve your youth group, your small groups, and your whole congregation at the same time.

That's the problem Flame was built to fix.

What Flame is

Flame is a scripture memory program for churches. It delivers a daily verse to your members by email or text — in the Bible translation they already use — and adapts each lesson to where each person is in the memorization process.

No app to download. No new account to create. The lesson shows up where your members already are.

For pastors and ministry team leaders, Flame provides a live dashboard: active members, average streaks, today's completion rate, and a list of who needs a nudge before they quietly disengage.

The four lesson formats

The lesson generator picks the right format for each member on each verse, every day:

1. Multiple choice — the gentlest entry point for a brand-new verse
2. Fill in the blank — key words are missing; recall fills the gaps
3. Word scramble — reorder shuffled words to reconstruct the verse
4. Type from memory — a blank slate, typed unaided — the highest mastery signal

Every lesson takes about a minute. The habit forms naturally because it meets people where they already are.

Built for how churches actually work

Your youth group, your small groups, and your whole congregation are in different seasons. Flame lets you run each of them on a different verse set at the same time — no spreadsheets, no manual check-ins, no one-size-fits-all curriculum.

"Run your youth group, small groups, and whole congregation on different verse sets, all at once."

For members, it's a daily habit that takes about a minute and shows up in their inbox or as a text. For you as the leader, it's a dashboard that tells you what's actually happening — before someone falls off.

Pricing

Flame is priced per member, not per group or per feature:

1. Starter — up to 50 members, $25/mo ($0.50 per member)

Flame is currently in early access. A small group of founding churches is helping shape the product before it opens more broadly.
