Big-church tools, not a big-church price, but a small-church price.

Small churches deserve great tools too.

Scheduling, setlists, kids check-in, groups, chat and your church website, in one place. Volunteers open one app and know exactly where they're serving.

  • Free plan stays free
  • No card to sign up
  • Starter modules free for 4 months, at trial limits
Real app. Used by real churches.
My Schedule on a phone: upcoming Sundays with the role, who else is serving and whether it is confirmed.

Every plan

Schedule your whole team with one button.

Pick the Sundays and press Auto-fill. It is skill-based: every spot goes to someone with the skills for it who is free that day, and the load is shared fairly. If nobody fits, the spot stays empty. You look it over, swap anyone, then publish.

How it looks in the app

3 cards ยท swipe sideways

Every ministry gets a folder

Worship, tech and hospitality each keep their own schedules, with a master view of all of them.

Schedule Groups: folders for the master schedule, Worship Team, Tech Team, Hospitality and ungrouped schedules.

Pick your dates

Tap the Sundays, or every Sunday for four or eight weeks. Up to 52 dates in one go.

Pick your dates: a November calendar with four Sundays selected and quick picks for every Sunday or every other Sunday.

One press fills the month

Four Sundays, 32 spots, 14 people, filled in one press. Swap anyone, then Notify & Publish.

Assign your teams: four Sundays fully staffed, each week at 100 percent, with a Notify and Publish button.

Each one is part of the same app, with the same people and the same calendar.

Every plan

Fill Sunday's team in minutes.

Set up each ministry's positions once. The auto-scheduler fills them from skills, availability and blocked dates, and spreads the load fairly. Publish, and everyone hears about it.

  • People block out the dates they're away
  • Auto-schedule several weeks at once, then adjust by hand
  • Volunteers accept or decline from their phone
Two positions on a published schedule: Vocals with Grace Liu and Taylor Brooks, and Drums with Alex Kim, all confirmed.
Kids ministry ยท Starter and up

Check-in parents can trust.

Sunday School from start to finish: every child checked in and labelled, allergies in front of every teacher, each child handed back to the right adult, and the lesson ready before anyone arrives.

6 cards ยท swipe sideways

Arrive

Check in, in seconds.

Families check themselves in at a tablet by the door, or show the Family Pass on their phone.

  • A tablet becomes a kiosk when a leader scans its code. It never holds anyone's login, and it is locked with a PIN
  • Families find themselves by phone number or last name
  • Or they scan the Family Pass in the app, which refreshes itself
  • Brothers and sisters check in together and share one pick-up code
The check-in kiosk on a tablet: Welcome to Sunday School, the time, and buttons for Check In, Check Out and Scan your Family Pass.
A parent's Family Pass on a phone: the family name, the children, a QR code and a six-letter code to read out.

Labels

A sticker for the child. A ticket for the parent.

  • Allergies print in red on the child's sticker, and a severe one fills the band
  • The pick-up code prints on the parent's ticket only, never on the child
  • Brother or Dymo label printers, or sticker sheets on any printer
Two printed labels: Lucy Diaz's sticker with a red band reading Life-threatening allergy: Peanuts, and the family's pick-up ticket with the code 458738 for Lucy and Sam.

In the room

Every room knows who's there.

  • A live list for each room, with allergies beside every name
  • Helpers counted against each room's ratio, so a short-staffed room stands out
  • Teachers can get a ping when one of their children arrives
Today's attendance on a phone: 21 children here, one parent paged, Isla with a Call parent tag and Zara with a severe tree-nut allergy.

Pickup

The right child goes home with the right adult.

The ticket, the code or the Family Pass is checked before any child leaves the room.

  • Only parents and the people you list may collect a child
  • Anyone on a child's do-not-release list is refused, at every check-out
  • Only a church admin can override, and every override is logged with its reason
  • Need a parent? Page them from the room. Their phone says where to come, and they tap I'm on my way
A parent's phone: Isla needs you. Please come to Little Lambs, room 102. She's okay, just wants a hug. A button reads I'm on my way.

Lessons

Lessons volunteers can actually teach.

  • One plan per class per Sunday: the passage, the memory verse and every part of the hour, timed
  • A parent slip for the car ride home
  • Keep a series in the library and teach it again next year
The Good Samaritan lesson on a phone: a good neighbour stops to help, 60 minutes in 8 parts, the Bible passage and the memory verse.

Records

A record of every look.

  • Every time someone opens a child's record is logged: who, when and what they saw
  • Background checks, first aid and child-safety training tracked for every volunteer
  • Attendance by class and by week, ready to export
The access log on a phone, showing each time a leader viewed Lucy's record and which parts they opened: allergies, medical conditions, who may collect her.
Every plan

Policies & Protocols, without the binder.

Write the rules that keep people safe, send them to the right people to read and sign, and know who does what when something goes wrong.

3 cards ยท swipe sideways

A policy library that gets signed

Start from 23 plain-language drafts: 9 policies, 8 protocols, and pages for your ministries and leaders. Change anything, then publish.

  • Read and sign in Messenger. People type their name once they reach the end
  • Paper signatures and training records kept with the rest
  • Yearly re-sign, with a count of who is due again
  • A readiness check, and an export for your insurer

Starters are first drafts, not legal advice.

The Policies and Protocols library: safeguarding readiness 3 of 10, documents with who must sign and how many have, and a readiness checklist.

Steps by role, by the minute

A missing child or a fire alarm: every role sees its own steps, minute by minute. Each protocol prints as a one-page card, and volunteers find their steps on their My Role page.

One page, black-and-white safe

A missing child protocol laid out by role: Sunday School lead teachers, ushers, pastor on duty, sound and first aiders, each with steps at 0, 1 and 2 to 5 minutes.

Who does what

Every protocol on one grid, one column per role, so nobody is left guessing. Situations with no protocol yet are listed underneath, many with a starter ready to open.

Who does what: missing child, fire alarm and disclosure of abuse across eight roles, then situations with no protocol yet, such as medical emergency and severe weather.

Shown in the app's sample church.

Add-ons on Starter and up

Groups that keep going between Sundays.

Every group gets its own page. The leader switches on the add-ons that group needs, and nothing else gets in the way.

Files

A shared folder for the group.

Good for: Handouts, rotas, forms and photos from last week.

  • Leaders upload and make folders
  • Everyone in the group can open and download
A group's Files: 854 KB of 5 GB used, a Fall retreat folder, a study guide, a group covenant and a carpool rota.
  • The leader decidesGroup leaders switch add-ons on and off. A group only shows what it uses.
  • Members join inEveryone in the group can read and reply, add a prayer or claim a place.
  • Removed means removedTake an add-on away and it hides at once. Its data is deleted for good after 7 days, unless you put it back.
  • Yours to keepEvery add-on exports, and Files has a storage limit per group.

Notifications that get through.

A schedule nobody hears about is no schedule at all. So notifications have more than one way to arrive, and you're told when they can't.

  • Three ways to reach peopleThe iPhone and Android apps, browser notifications, and live updates inside the app.
  • Tries again on its ownA send that hits a network hiccup is retried automatically.
  • Email when there's no deviceSomeone who hasn't set up notifications gets their new schedule by email instead.
  • A delivery reportPublish a schedule and see who was told, by push and by email.
  • Says when it can't reach youIf none of your devices can get notifications, you see a warning with the fix.
  • Checked every hourOld phones and browsers that stopped answering are cleared out, and we're alerted if sends start failing.
For church admins on a computer

Desktop Mode: run the church office from one screen.

Works like its own operating system, right in your browser.

Movable windows, a taskbar and a Start menu, on any Windows, Mac, Chromebook or Linux computer, with nothing to install. Keep the schedule open beside the team chat, the song library beside the setlist, and jump between them from the taskbar.

Desktop Mode: Church Members in one window, with its views, a banner about two people waiting for approval and a table of 16 people with status and last contact, beside the Worship Team schedule in another, above a taskbar.
  • Every page, its own windowChurch Members, Scheduling, Messages and the rest open side by side.
  • Snap two at oncePut the people on the left and the schedule on the right.

Stems

Starter and up

Practise with just your part.

Upload a song's recording and Church Canopy splits it into six stems. Turn the drums up, take the vocals out, or solo the bass line until you have it. Try the mixer: it works like the real one.

  • Six stems: vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other
  • A fader, mute and solo for every part, with live level meters
  • Change the key without changing the speed
  • Tempo and key are worked out for you
  • The whole mixer fits on a phone screen

On paid plans, your first separation is free. After that, credit packs start at $4.99 for 5 separations, and credits never expire.

Amazing Grace

The demo plays a simple arrangement made in your browser. In Church Canopy the stems come from your own recording.

Go on, move it to A.

Pick a key or put a capo on. Every chord moves with it, and guitarists can read the shapes they will actually play.

  • ChordPro charts that transpose to any key
  • Chord charts, lead sheets and vocal parts
  • Rehearsal audio and Guitar Pro files
One song's Files and Media panel: a ChordPro file, two chord charts, a lead sheet, SATB vocal parts, two rehearsal recordings and a Guitar Pro file, each with an upload button.

Lead sheets that play

Every plan

Press play and a cursor follows the melody while the notes light up on a piano. Upload a SongSelect lead or vocal sheet, press Convert, and it becomes notation like this, read straight from the PDF.

  • Change the key, or move it up or down an octave
  • Slow it down, loop it, add a metronome
  • Hear it on a grand piano
  • Print it in portrait or landscape, Letter or A4
Amazing Grace as a lead sheet, playing: melody, chords and lyrics, the cursor on bar 5, the note lit on a piano keyboard, and menus for key, octave, note size, paper and print.

Music collaboration studio

Starter and up

Make a song together without being in the same room.

The drummer records on Monday, the guitarist adds a part on Wednesday, the singers finish it on Friday. Everyone on your team opens the same song in their browser and records their part from home.

  • Everyone hears about it when a new part lands
  • One person's save never wipes out another person's take
  • A metronome and count-in before every take
  • Faders, meters, pan, EQ and reverb, then export a WAV
One song in the studio: the mixer's channel strips for lead vocal, harmony, choir and guitars, blending into the timeline where each part is its own recording.

Song Writer

Starter and up

Write lyrics and chords together, hear them play back, and keep every version.

  • Verse, pre-chorus, chorus, bridge, tag and vamp
  • A rhyme finder and a word map of worship words
  • Hear your chords on a built-in piano
  • Version history, so no draft is lost
  • Print a lyric sheet or send it to the song library
Amazing Grace's history: 17 plays, last played October 4 and first in April, plays by month, keys A, G and F, the two worship leaders who led it most, and the most recent Sundays.

Song history

Know when you last sang it.

Every setlist counts, so nobody keeps a log. Open a song to see how often your church has played it and how it was led.

  • First and last time played, and plays by month
  • Which keys the band used, and how often
  • The worship leaders who led it most
  • Recent Sundays, with the key and the leader

Church Canopy Stage

Start a session, connect the band's tablets with one code and load the setlist. Charts follow along in real time.

  • Public-domain hymn library
  • SongSelect lead sheets to notation
  • Auditions at practice
A live Stage session: the six-letter code KHH5KW and a QR code that the band's tablets use to join.

Church Canopy is built for the people who run your church, and everyone who shows up. It handles scheduling and availability, song libraries with ChordPro and transposition, drag-and-drop setlists, team messaging, room booking, kids check-in, a public church website and much more, all in one place. Think of it as the hub your whole church runs from, Sunday to Sunday.

Click "Start free" to create your church account. You'll set your church name, timezone and service times. Then invite your team by email (musicians, tech, kids workers, greeters) and share a join link with the congregation. The setup wizard walks you through it, and you can start scheduling before everyone has accepted their invite.

The Free plan includes scheduling, a 20-song library, up to 25 members, a church website, a giving page for your donation links, Bible study and all 12 music tools. No credit card. Messaging, room booking, groups, forms, kids check-in and the music studio start on Starter ($29/mo). New churches can try those free for 4 months first, at trial limits, so you can try everything before deciding.

No. Church Canopy runs in any browser on any device: phone, tablet or desktop. There are also apps for iPhone and Android, on the App Store and Google Play, with native push notifications. Everyone can use whichever they prefer, and everything stays in sync.

Get this Sunday sorted.
