What church.chat is

church.chat is a free web application for church scheduling and team management. Its drag-and-drop volunteer scheduler can assign people automatically according to availability and past commitments. Teams can plan services and assign roles, songs, and volunteers, then use team and service chat to organize conversations. A clock tool provides volunteer check-in and time tracking, while recurring services and special events can be created in the app. Two-way Google Calendar sync can add serve commitments to volunteers’ personal calendars. The privacy policy says the app requests limited Google Calendar access for syncing and does not request access to Gmail, Drive, or Contacts. It also says traffic is protected with TLS and sensitive data is encrypted at rest through the cloud infrastructure. The maker says it does not sell personal information or use Google user data for advertising. The Free plan costs nothing and has no limits on teams, volunteers, or services. The service is intended for church staff and adult volunteers.
