Our take
Almost a third of the world's population identifies as Christian, yet despite the world becoming increasingly connected, it has become more difficult for individuals to keep up consistent engagement with religion. This is what Glorify sets out to help with. Designed to help Christians get into good worship habits with bite-sized, curated content, the Glorify app offers daily handpicked Bible readings, guided meditation, worship music, and space for reflection and prayer. In doing so, the company brings engagement with the Christian faith into the modern age.
The market demand for such a revolutionary approach is clear - Glorify has quickly grown to become the leading Christian Daily Worship app. Borrowing heavily from pre-established, successful app models - think Calm and Headspace - the Glorify app clearly appeals to users globally, having had successful launches worldwide, including in the US, Brazil, and LATAM.
The market for Christianity-focused apps is also set to grow further as more and more Christians are engaging with technology that helps them practice their faith. Glorify, then, is well positioned to make the most of this changing climate, with plans to further invest in the product, roll out new features, and expand its reach.
