A message arrives
The office assigns a job, even to someone with no account. It goes out by email or text, in plain words, with one link.
Operations software for churches
The work reaches people where they already are: email and text. Every message carries one link to one page that does one thing. Check the job off, sign the form, claim the Saturday shift. No account, no password, no app.
Built inside a working church by someone who has served in one for many years. We set it up, connect your tools and host it for you.
Jordan, could you paint the trim in the youth room by Tue? Brushes and paint are in the closet by the door. Mark it done here

The design brief
Teams, Slack, Asana and a shared drive all failed the same way. People forgot their passwords, and nobody remembered to go and check.
There will be some volunteers that never log into Worksite, and interact with it solely through their email or the messages that come to them.
That sentence came first. Everything in Worksite was built around it.
How it reaches people
The office assigns a job, even to someone with no account. It goes out by email or text, in plain words, with one link.
The link opens a page that shows that one job and nothing else. Add a note or a photo of the mended gate, then press the button.
The task closes on the Operations Board with the note and photo attached. Nobody chased anyone, and nobody asked "did that get done?"
Our Serve Board
A public page of jobs around the church. People put their name to one, tick it off when it's done and can subscribe to a weekly email of what's still open. No account, ever.
"No account, no password. Put your name to something and we will take it from there."
The office side
Staff sign in and work here. Events, trips, projects, tasks, the building, the calendar and the conversations sit together, so nobody keeps five tabs open to answer "who, when, where."
The hub. Every project and task, what is overdue and what is waiting on you. An urgent notice reaches the whole staff; nine small lights turn red only when a scheduled job stops; the strip along the top is the next few days from Planning Center.
Every staff member gets a page showing what is theirs, what landed since yesterday and what is late. It is the only page most of the staff ever need, and the roundup email each morning is this page in words.
A planning sheet for every event: purpose, audience, rooms, setup, tech, food, budget and promotion, with the task list beside it and a read-only link to share. The debrief afterwards turns "what to change next time" into next year's tasks.
For renovations, installations and anything with vendors and money. Track the stage from scoping to done, and the budget as estimated, committed and actually spent. Vendors get their own link to their own scope, and never see each other's.
The roster, the price, what each family owes and has paid, and which forms are still out. Parents sign consent and medical forms from a link. Those records are encrypted and only the trip's leaders can open them.
Give anybody a job, on a desk or not. Somebody with no account gets an email with one link. Standing work (the fire alarm test, the weekly staff email) comes round by itself and lands on the right desk with a lead time.
Planning Center events and service plans, approved time off, the speaking schedule, meetings and your own tasks, on one grid. Subscribe to it on your phone and it stays current.
A conversation reaches people by email; their replies land back in the thread whether they wrote them in Worksite or in their inbox. Private to the people in it, with no administrator override. Group texts and texts to the church live on the same page.

The rest of the building
The serving roles, the broken heater, the electrician's insurance, the safeguarding policy, the guest from Sunday. Each has a page, and each page knows about the others.
A written description for every serving role: what it is, what you will do, what helps, the time it takes and why it matters. Who holds each one, who used to, and the open roles posted on ServeSite so a person can ask about one without an account.
The page a department lead keeps. Three people in the role today, with their start dates and the ones who stepped out. Adding someone can give them a desk, a Team One card, or just a name on the list; the five follow-up steps land on the leader's board.
The office side of the public serve board. Post a job with what it involves, how many hands and by when; watch the names arrive; nudge a claim that has gone quiet. Every Friday, the people who said yes get one email of what is still open.
Anybody in the building reports a problem from a link, with a photo. It arrives here as a card; you give it to somebody and it becomes a task on their desk; when it is closed the person who reported it is told. Nothing falls between two people.
Everyone the church uses: trade, contact, insurance expiry, W-9. The page warns a month before a certificate lapses. Put a vendor on a project and they get a link that shows their scope and dates and nothing else; end the project and the link stops working.
Policies, forms and the documents everybody needs to be able to find, in folders, searchable, with a note on each. Retire a file rather than delete it, so last year's version is still there when somebody asks.
A connect card in Planning Center becomes a welcome text within fifteen minutes and a follow-up a few hours later. The page lists guests by who has not yet been spoken to by a real person, because a text buys an hour; it does not do the welcoming.
Staff and administrators, each with a desk, and what is on it. Add somebody with their email and they get a link to set their own password. Roles from Team One sit alongside, so a name is never typed twice.
Planning Center People, mirrored hourly so a phone number is one search away. Addresses are read live and never copied. Changes are made in Planning Center and show up here within the hour.
The nine things that happen without anybody pressing anything: the roundup, the nudges, the digests, the syncs, the backup. Each says when it last ran and what it did. When one stops, an email says so; the page never has to be checked.
A copy of everything, every night, kept for two weeks; the attachments once a week. A second copy can go to a folder in the church's own OneDrive, kept for a month. Download one any time. It is your data; you can always take it with you.
No account, no password, no app
Each one shows a person their one thing and nothing else. The link is theirs; it cannot reach anybody else's job, form or quote. This is what the volunteers, parents, vendors and guests see, on the phone in their hand.






The other five: a parent's consent form, a trip sign-up, a Team One enquiry, a guest's coffee invitation, and the reply to any Worksite email, which lands back in the conversation it came from.
A week at Riverbend
Nine scheduled jobs run the week. Every one of them reports when it stops, so the office finds out the same day rather than in March.
Questions we get on every walkthrough
No. That is the whole design. A volunteer gets a text or an email with one link to one page. They can finish a job, claim a Saturday, sign a form or answer a meeting without ever seeing a sign-in screen. Only staff sign in, and even they can keep a device signed in for two weeks or use Face ID.
Worksite is built beside it, not instead of it. People, the calendar, service plans and connect cards come from Planning Center and stay there; Worksite never becomes a second copy you have to maintain. If you are not on Planning Center, the Sites, TaskSite, ServeSite, Team One and messages all still work; the calendar and guest pages would sit empty until you are.
Planning Center, Microsoft 365 for email, and Clearstream for texting. They stay on your own subscriptions. We connect all three during the setup month, using your own credentials, and each one is optional in the sense that if it is not there, that feature switches off rather than breaking.
The first month. We build your Worksite, connect the three services (a Microsoft 365 administrator clicks one consent screen), import your people and roles from a spreadsheet, set your gathering days, put your logo on it, and hand it over on a short call. Your part is about an hour: the spreadsheet, the consent click, and telling us who is who.
On a server we rent in the United States, in a folder and database that belong to your church alone. Your owner can download a complete copy any time from the Backups page, and a second copy can go into a person's OneDrive in your own Microsoft 365. When you leave, you take it with you and we delete ours. The privacy page says exactly what is stored and what ever leaves.
Texts go out through your own Clearstream account on its credits, so the cost is whatever Clearstream charges you; Worksite adds nothing. Before any group text goes, you see the recipient count and the credit cost, and texting the whole church takes two screens and a fifteen-minute pause on purpose.
Worksite is a web app that installs to a phone's home screen in two taps and then opens like an app, with phone alerts if you want them. There is nothing to find in an app store and nothing for a volunteer to install at all; their link opens in whatever they already have.
Staff see their desk and the Sites they are on; administrators see the whole church; the owner alone can download the backup. A conversation is private to the people in it with no administrator override. Trip consent and medical forms are encrypted with a key that lives outside the database, and only that trip's leaders can open them. A one-link page reaches one job, one form or one quote and nothing else.
Worksite watches itself. If a scheduled job stops, if email is being refused, or if the backup is old, the administrator gets one email that day, and so do we. Updates install overnight after the backup and keep the previous build, so anything that goes wrong can be put back. If you ever cannot reach us, nothing pauses: the last answer stands for two weeks.
Yes. Your name, colours, logo and icons are yours from day one, on every page, in every email and on the home-screen app. "Team One" is whatever you call your serving teams.
Worksite Plus is sized for a larger staff and more than one campus, with every Site able to carry a campus. On a walkthrough we will show you how another church runs it that way.
Check-in, giving, worship planning and background checks. Those belong to Planning Center and we never touch them. Worksite covers the work around the database: the events, the building, the jobs, the vendors, the volunteers and the conversations, which is the part nobody else sells you.
No contract. Cancel from the billing page and your Worksite runs to the end of the month you paid for, then becomes read-only for two weeks so you can export everything, then we delete it. The setup fee is not refunded once the setup work has begun.
Built by someone who has run a church
A first-time guest gets a text within fifteen minutes and a follow-up a few hours later. Leadership's report lists guests by who hasn't been spoken to by a real person yet, because a text buys an hour. It doesn't do the welcoming.
After an event, six questions. Each line under "what to change next time" becomes a task on next year's plan. What took years to learn stops living in one person's memory.
Texting the whole congregation takes two screens and typing the list's name by hand. You see the recipient count and the credit cost before you commit, and then there's a fifteen-minute pause. Nothing ever sends it automatically.
A church that texts a first-time guest twice in an hour has introduced itself badly. Worksite marks the welcome as sent before it goes, so a slow network never causes a double send.
A conversation is private to the people in it, with no administrator override. Consent and medical records are encrypted and can be deleted after the trip.
Eight scheduled jobs run the reminders, digests and syncs. A warning light appears only when one of them hasn't run, because an "all systems normal" panel stops being read after a week.
Who built it
Worksite wasn't built by a software company that studied churches. It was built by someone who has served in the church for many years, and who has done most of the jobs Worksite now organizes.
He's cleaned the rooms and set out the chairs. He's led the creative department and now runs operations as the church's chief operating officer. Every screen in Worksite answers a question he was asked on a Sunday morning, or one he had to chase down on a Tuesday.

Keep what you already pay for
Nobody wants to move their church database. Worksite reads what your other tools already know and puts it where people will see it.
Your subscriptions
Brings them together. The office works here, and the people doing the work get what they need.
Where people already are
We connect all of it for you during setup. Each connection is optional. If one is off, that feature switches off rather than breaking. Worksite deliberately never touches Giving or background checks.
Who it's for
An executive pastor, COO, business administrator or operations director. You run the building, the calendar, the events and the staff with a spreadsheet, a group text and your own memory. It fits churches of roughly 150 to 2,000 on a Sunday, with a handful of staff and a lot of volunteers.
What it isn't
Worksite doesn't do check-in, giving or worship planning. It covers the work around the database, the part no one else sells you. Its real competitor is the spreadsheet, the group text and the room everybody assumed somebody else had booked.
Pricing
A one-time setup of $250 covers the first month: we build your Worksite, connect Planning Center, Microsoft 365 and Clearstream, load your people and roles, and hand it over ready to use. The monthly plan starts in month two. Hosting, backups and every update are included. No contract; cancel any time.
For churches up to about 750 on a Sunday. $250 setup, then $129 a month from month two.
For churches over about 750 on a Sunday, or with more than one campus. $250 setup, then $199 a month from month two.
What the setup month looks like
Worksite works alongside the services your church already uses. Planning Center, Microsoft 365 (email, calendar and Teams) and Clearstream for texting are each connected during setup and stay on the church's own subscriptions. Payments are handled by Square; we never see your card number. The setup fee is charged when you sign up, the first monthly payment is 30 days later, and we'll remind you a week before. Not sure which plan fits? Ask for a walkthrough.
Get started
There's nothing for your church to install and no server to look after. We handle the whole setup personally, so your staff can start using Worksite instead of configuring it.
Tell us a little about your church and we'll set up a walkthrough — a live look at Worksite running for Riverbend, an invented church, with your questions answered as we go.
