The challenge

Follow-up lived in WhatsApp threads and memory, team rosters lived in spreadsheets and the kids’ check-in was on paper. Volunteers needed something simple enough to use on a phone, on a Sunday, in a hurry.

The solution

One app with separate areas for leaders, teams and kids, each showing only what someone needs to do next. Website forms flow straight in, reminders go out on their own, and every action leaves a clear history.

Key features

  • Follow-up pipeline for new people, with pre-written WhatsApp / SMS messages and a timeline per person
  • Sunday planning: team rosters, confirmations, conflicts and push notifications
  • Worship song library with audio files, keys and setlists
  • Kids check-in with printed name labels and QR-code pick-up
  • Google sign-in with role-based access, weekly email report and Excel export

Outcome

In use by the church’s leaders and volunteers. Because it holds personal data, it isn’t public: the screenshots here come from a demo copy with made-up content.
