A purpose-built volunteer scheduling system for small and growing churches. Set up your rota in minutes, invite your team, and never lose track of who's serving on Sunday again.
Free for 30 days — then just £35/year for your whole church. Cancel anytime.
Watch how The Simple Church Rota solves the volunteer scheduling headache — from the problem to the solution.
Built from the ground up for church admins who want something that just works — without the complexity of enterprise software or the chaos of a shared spreadsheet.
Run a weekly Sunday rota alongside one-off special events (Easter, Christmas, baptisms) each with their own categories and volunteers.
Add any roles that match your church — Leading, Preaching, Musicians, PA & Livestream, Prayers, Greeting, Refreshments, and more. Reorder them however you like.
Assign volunteers by dragging them straight onto the rota. Move, swap, or remove assignments in seconds — no page reloads.
Volunteers can request a swap or ask for cover when they can't make it. Admins approve or decline with one click, and everyone is notified by email.
Send announcements directly to your rota team without group chats or email chains. Messages appear in the dashboard so nothing gets missed.
Link family members together and manage household scheduling at once — perfect for churches where whole families volunteer together.
Invite volunteers by email with a single click. They receive a personalised link, create their account, and are ready to serve instantly.
Generate a clean, formatted print view of the full rota — perfect for the notice board or handing out at team meetings. Save as PDF in one click.
Connect your Google account and a dedicated Simple Church Rota calendar is created automatically. Assignments sync in real time — added, updated, and removed as the rota changes.
Volunteers receive a free Telegram message the moment their rota is confirmed — no extra apps or subscriptions needed beyond the free Telegram app.
Opt in by saving your mobile number in your profile. Receive instant SMS alerts for new swap requests, urgent cover needs, and when your own requests are accepted or declined — no app or internet needed.
Not on Google? Subscribe to your personal iCal feed in Apple Calendar, Outlook, or any calendar app. Your rota dates appear automatically and stay up to date.
The Simple Church Rota includes a guided setup wizard that walks you through everything from the moment you register.
Enter your church name and create your admin account. Your rota, default categories, and service structure are set up automatically.
Rename, reorder, or add categories to match your church's terminology — Leading, Preaching, PA & Livestream, whatever you use.
Send personalised email invitations. Your team clicks the link, creates their account, and is ready to be added to the rota immediately.
Dates are generated automatically each month. Drag volunteers into services, add AM and PM slots, and publish in minutes.
Everyone logs in to see when they're serving, receives notifications, and can request swaps — all without WhatsApp messages or phone calls.
No credit card needed. Free for 30 days, then £35/year.
When someone can't make it, they simply raise a swap or cover request directly from their dashboard. The right people are notified instantly.
Everything you need to run a clean, well-organised rota — and nothing that slows you down.
Connect your Google account once and a dedicated Simple Church Rota calendar is created in your Google account. Every assignment syncs automatically — you don't have to think about it.
See the Rota Grid in action — drag volunteers straight onto the rota, assign roles, and manage every service from one clear, powerful view.
