Every congregation relies on the dedication of volunteers. But scheduling them can be a daunting task — and possibly a headache! ChurchNET is here to change that.
With our Volunteer Scheduler, managing volunteers has never been easier. Accessible from any device, both admins and volunteers can stay up to date, anywhere, anytime.
How Volunteer Scheduling Works
Create Job Templates
Scheduling admins can effortlessly create job templates, linked directly to event templates. No need to re-enter contact information—your Church Directory is fully integrated. Simply assign volunteers from the directory to roles like Sunday Morning Greeter with just a few clicks.

Volunteer Sign-Up
Engage your congregation by allowing members to request volunteer roles. Once a member submits a request, they enter a pending state where your admin can approve them. You can also create teams for members who want to serve together regularly.
Automated Volunteer Scheduling
Schedules are generated via a round-robin system, accommodating any time period you need. Initially, schedules are set to pending, allowing for easy fine-tuning. Need to make changes? You can swap volunteers, remove jobs, add additional help, or assign someone who isn’t listed in the directory. Once everything looks perfect, set the schedule live.
Automated Notifications
Volunteers receive emails with the option to accept or decline their assignments. If someone declines, automatic emails are sent to subs. Further reminders go out 6 days and 2 days before the event, and a text message is sent the day before to ensure everything runs smoothly.
Download & Print Volunteer Schedule
The live schedule is always available for download as an XLSX file for easy printing or offline use.
More Ways For Your Members To Stay Involved Volunteering
When members log in, they can go to Our Church > Get Involved to manage their volunteer preferences. From here, they can view available jobs, sign up for roles, and even add blackout dates to avoid scheduling conflicts. They can also copy a link to sync their schedule with their phone or Google Calendar automatically.
