Build the schedule, hit publish, and every volunteer gets a one-tap RSVP link — no account, no app, no password. You watch the confirmations roll in instead of chasing texts. Free for your church, for real.
Create your free account. Two minutes: your church's name and you're in. Your team and scheduler are ready when you land, starting with a Sunday 9 AM service you can change any time.
Add your people. Type them in or import your existing list from a CSV. Tag who can serve where — sound, vocals, check-in, preschool.
Publish the schedule. Everyone gets a personal RSVP link by email. They tap accept or decline; you see it live and fill the gaps.
This is the real feature from the Ministry Planner workspace — not a trimmed-down demo.
Every service, every role, every open slot — filled by dragging names in or tapping + Add to pick someone, with each volunteer's confirmation status right on their card. When someone declines, you see it immediately and fill the gap before Sunday, not during it.
Each team carries its own count for the Sunday — how many slots are filled, which roles are still short, how many volunteers have yet to reply, and one link straight to the gaps.
The Positions board is your serving depth chart: every role in a column, every trained person tagged to it. It shows at a glance who is cleared for each role, and flags the roles nobody can cover yet.
The roster bank carries each person's cadence and the date they last served, and flags who is due — the fastest way to spot willing volunteers slipping through the cracks.
Nothing to buy, nothing expires.
Service planning, the teaching calendar, events, groups, team chat, documents, projects, extra teams and campuses live in the paid plans — from $49/mo for the whole church, no per-volunteer fees. Volunteer scheduling stays free either way.
See pricing →Yes. The free plan is the real Ministry Planner volunteer scheduler — the same boards, RSVP links, and reminders paid churches use — free for 1 team and up to 1,000 volunteers, with no credit card and no expiring trial. Paid plans (from $49/mo) add more teams and the rest of the workspace: service planning, teaching calendar, events, and more.
No. When you publish a schedule, each volunteer gets a secure personal link by email and confirms or declines in one tap. There is nothing to download and no password to reset, which is why response rates hold up.
Most church software either caps its free plan at a handful of team members or leaves scheduling out of the free plan entirely. Ours is the opposite: scheduling is the free part — a full scheduler for up to 1,000 volunteers on one team, free for as long as you want it.
Upgrade when you are ready — the Plant plan is $49/mo for up to 3 teams, and everything you built on the free plan (people, positions, schedules) carries over exactly as it is. Nothing is deleted and nothing has to be rebuilt.
There isn't one. We built the free scheduler because scheduling is where every church's spreadsheet pain starts. If it serves your team well and you eventually want service planning or more teams, we'd love for you to upgrade — but the free plan doesn't expire and doesn't nag.
Set up your free scheduler this afternoon and publish your first schedule before Sunday.
