Explorer Program Deprecation
Gloo has made the strategic decision to conclude the Explorer Program as part of our ongoing effort to simplify our offerings and focus on tools that deliver the greatest value to church leaders. Over the last four years, the program successfully connected over 465,000 people.
To continue supporting outreach efforts, Gloo is partnering with VisitorReach and offering participating churches up to $3,500 in credits to help them keep building meaningful, local ministry connections. The Explorer Program will officially sunset on January 5, 2026, with all customer data and communication tools remaining fully accessible during and after the transition.
