The Story of ORI

youth ministry discipleship app

ORI was born out of late nights in the church offices, forgotten permission slips, and the frustration of using five different apps to do one job. Our founders spent decades in ministry before building the tool “Ben the youth pastor” wished he’d had all along.

We’re not a massive corporation, we’re two brothers who care deeply about youth ministry and seeing young people discipled biblically. We have served and continue to serve today, Ben in Youth Ministry and Josh as an elder at a Church Plant. We understand the unique challenges you face because we’ve faced them too.

Why “ORI”?

ORI comes from the word “orientation” helping you find direction in the beautiful chaos of youth ministry. It also means “light” in Hebrew (Psalm 27:1), reflecting our heart to help you shine light into the lives of young people.
