Ministry Scheduler Pro
What it is
Ministry Scheduler Pro helps churches coordinate volunteers for ministries such as lector, Communion minister, and server roles. Its Auto Scheduler can take availability, family preferences, rotations, skill levels, serving frequency, and teams into account. Volunteers can view their schedules, claim open positions, look for substitutes, and update future availability online. Communication tools include targeted email and text announcements, polls, RSVPs, and automatic notices about assignments and substitutions. Volunteers can add schedules to Google, iCal, or Microsoft Outlook calendars. API access lets churches use MSP data with other applications, including custom integrations with church management software. The software supports Android, iOS, macOS, web, and Windows. It is paid, with a 30-day free trial that requires no credit card; trial users have less ability to customize volunteer-facing online features. Text messages cost $0.02 per message sent or received, with messaging available in the U.S. and Canada. Administrators have phone and email support, online resources, and live training webinars.
