Why a church schedule in KerkPoint?
Most churches plan their services in a spreadsheet that one person keeps up to date. That works until something changes: the sexton is ill, the organist swaps a Sunday, or an extra service is added. Then versions go round by e-mail, nobody knows which one is the latest, and people end up scheduled twice or not at all.
With KerkPoint you work in one environment that is always up to date. Change something in the schedule and everyone involved sees it straight away. Volunteers are told about their tasks automatically and can put their planning in their own calendar, so they never miss a service.
What you arrange with the church schedule
- All services: morning and evening services, weekday services, special services around holidays, funerals and weddings. You create recurring services weeks ahead in one go.
- Tasks and roles: sexton, organist, elder on duty, reader, projection, nursery, coffee. You decide which roles belong to a service.
- Volunteers: assign people to a role, let them pass on their availability and let the system suggest who is next.
- Several buildings: with several church buildings or locations you keep a schedule per location within the same church.
- Connections: export to your calendar via iCal (Premium), show the schedule on your own website with a widget, or send notifications to a Discord channel.
Your first schedule in three steps
- Sign up your church and add your building(s).
- Set up your services and roles, or let recurring services be created for the coming weeks.
- Assign tasks and send out the schedule. Everyone is notified and can put their own planning in their calendar.
Who is it for?
KerkPoint is made for the volunteer or coordinator who keeps the schedule, often without a technical background. The screens are deliberately calm and clear, so less tech-savvy members can use them too. Working with one particular group? Have a look at the sexton schedule, the organist schedule or the offering schedule. Coming from a spreadsheet? Read church schedule in Excel about switching.
