Case Study: Gibborim achieves 75% registered-user growth and improved retention with Disciple

Helping Gibborim swap algorithms for brotherhood

Gibborim, a U.S. faith-based community that brings Christian men together around faith, fitness and mutual support, was losing traction on Facebook as constant algorithm changes made it hard to reach and convert members. To take back control of their audience and preserve the integrity of their content, Gibborim partnered with Disciple to create a private community app and online space tailored to their needs.

Disciple built a dedicated app with livestreams, podcasts, content libraries, groups and member analytics, removing reliance on social platforms and their algorithms. The move delivered clear results: a 75% increase in registered users, 50,000+ inter-user connections, subscriber growth averaging 10% month-over-month (with spikes up to 40% in some months), improved retention and motivation, reclaimed staff time previously spent chasing algorithm changes, and significantly increased revenue.
