What Ministry Order is
Ministry Order combines church service planning and volunteer scheduling in an app for Android, iOS, and the web. Leaders can reorder service items, and changing an item's duration updates the start times of later items. Worship sets can record song titles, keys, lengths, and singers. Leaders can send volunteer requests by push notification, and volunteers can accept or decline on their phones. Live Mode shows a countdown before a service and then a live clock with the current item highlighted. Churches can organize serving groups into teams with roles such as drummer, camera operator, or greeter. Accepted assignments can be added to a volunteer’s device calendar; the product overview specifies Google Calendar on Android and the system calendar on iOS. The monthly plan costs $20 a month and includes up to 200 users, unlimited service plans and teams, and web, iOS, and Android apps. Leaders and volunteers both count toward the cap. The 30-day trial requires a payment method at sign-up, charges nothing during the trial, and can be canceled online. The product does not provide giving, check-in, member records, chord charts, lyrics, or a song library.

Who it suits

Verdict
Ministry Order focuses on organizing service details and volunteer teams across mobile and web. Its user cap and missing church-management and music features are worth checking against your needs.
