One-page welcome sheet

Your team, your leader, when to arrive and the three rules that matter every Sunday. Hand it out with the handbook.

Would you rather use our free church volunteer scheduling software instead?

It does the same thing these templates do — except it reminds your volunteers, takes their confirmations, and stays up to date on its own. We think you’ll find it easier. It’s free for your whole team, and you can keep the templates either way.
