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 and required certifications.

🛡️

Background check tracking

Each volunteer profile tracks background check status and expiration. Expired checks block scheduling for kids/youth roles automatically.

🤝

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

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

One plan, everything included: $1 per active volunteer/mo + $10 per location/mo. Free first month for 1 ministry with up to 10 volunteers — no card.

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?

Each profile has a "background check completed" date and expiration. Today you upload completed checks manually (PDF or scan). 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?

Your first month is free for one location and up to 10 volunteer leaders. After that it's one plan with everything included: $1 per active volunteer/mo + $10 per location/mo. A 3-location church with 30 active volunteers runs about $30 + $30 = $60/mo — way under the cost of dedicated church management software like Planning Center for the workforce piece.

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.
