More About People Scheduling

And to get the most out of using the People Schedule functionality of worshipplanning.com, it's vital that your volunteers actually use this service. Everyday we strive to make our software effortless to use, especially by volunteers. Couple that will powerful team-organizing features and you have a tool to help make the planning process easier for everyone.

And if anyone has any trouble, our phone number is at the bottom of every email notification we send. We'd be delighted to talk to you.

In a nutshell, here's how the process typically works:

  1. You schedule your team members to serve.
  2. Through text, email, or Facebook, they are notified and "accept" or "decline".
  3. They access the worship flow details needed to serve.
  4. You are notified about their response and find a substitute, if needed.

Of course, there are other pathways you could take, including allowing team members to sign-up for serving and finding their own substitutes. Whatever your process is, chances are worshipplanning.com will work with it.
