What every church administrator is tired of

Ministry signups happen on a clipboard. Then someone loses the clipboard.
You can't tell who's background-checked. Especially for kids ministry where it matters most.
Volunteer hours for the annual report are a guess. Nobody tracks them in real time.
Sunday morning has 4 last-minute swaps. All by text. None of them reach the worship leader.
Paid staff and volunteers live in different systems. Or worse, in nobody's system.
Onboarding a new volunteer takes 30 days. Background check forms, child safety policy, signed acknowledgments — all paper.

Built for how churches actually staff Sunday

Volunteer-friendly features that don't treat your team like W-2 employees.

⛪

Ministry-by-ministry scheduling

Kids ministry, worship, ushers, greeters, parking, livestream — each a separate position with its own schedule.

🛡️

Background check paperwork

Volunteers sign a background check authorization during onboarding, and completed checks can be stored with their documents (Pro). You can also record one clearance or certification per person with an expiry date.

🤝

Paid staff + volunteers in one place

W-2 employees and volunteers coexist. Volunteers skip W-4 / I-9 / direct deposit but still sign your child safety policy and code of conduct.

📊

Volunteer hours reports (Pro)

Aggregate hours by volunteer, by ministry, by month. PDF export ready for the board packet or grant applications.

🔄

Trade requests + open shifts

A volunteer who can't make Sunday posts the slot as open. First eligible volunteer claims it. Manager auto-notified.

💰

Simple, honest pricing

Free for 1 location and up to 10 people (volunteers count) — no card, no end date. Team is $29/mo for your first location and 30 people; Pro is $2 per person/mo + $10 per location/mo, with every feature.

Church administrator FAQ

The questions we get from churches and faith-based nonprofits.

Do volunteers need to fill out W-4 and I-9?
No. When you mark someone as a volunteer (not employee), the onboarding flow skips W-4, I-9, and direct deposit. Instead, they sign your child safety policy, code of conduct, and any other custom consent forms you upload.
How does background check tracking work?
Volunteers sign a background check authorization during onboarding. Today you run the check with your provider and upload the result manually (PDF or scan). Each profile can also hold one clearance or certification with an expiry date, with email reminders before it lapses on Pro. A direct integration with a background check provider is on the roadmap.
Can volunteers self-schedule?
Yes. You publish open slots; eligible volunteers claim them from their phone. Manager approval is optional. Push notifications when a slot is taken.
What does it cost for a 200-attendee church?
It depends on how many people you put on PeopleBridge, not on attendance. The Free plan covers 1 location and up to 10 people — staff, volunteers and board members all count. Beyond that, Team is $29/mo for the first location and 30 people (+$10 per extra location): 30 people at 1 location is $29/mo, and 30 people across 3 locations is $49/mo. Pro, with every feature, is $2 per person/mo + $10 per location/mo: $70/mo and $90/mo for the same groups.
Do you integrate with Planning Center or Breeze?
Not directly today. Most churches use PeopleBridge alongside their ChMS, not as a replacement. PC handles giving and discipleship; we handle the workforce side (schedule, time clock if paid staff, volunteer hours).
Can the worship leader see only worship team?
Yes. Manager scoping — a worship leader is a "manager" of the worship-ministry location. They see their team's schedule, their hours, their consents. They don't see kids ministry or the senior pastor's schedule.
