What Church Volunteering is
Church Volunteering is a web-based rostering tool for volunteer coordinators at small to mid-size churches. Coordinators assign volunteers to roles and publish rosters with service dates and times, while ministry teams can have their own roles and share volunteers. The directory records contact details, team membership, and service frequency; profiles show service history, upcoming assignments, and coordinator notes. Volunteers can confirm or decline assignments from an email button without logging in or downloading an app. They can mark unavailable dates on a personal page that also requires no login. The service sends immediate roster notifications and automatic reminders three days and one day before a service. The free plan supports one team and up to 10 volunteers, with manual reminders and a basic roster builder. Standard costs $12 a month and adds unlimited teams and volunteers, automated email reminders, roster history, unavailability tracking, and a dashboard overview. The $29 a month Church plan adds multiple admins, SMS reminders, priority support, and service history reports. A free trial is available.
