Everything Your Team Needs to Run a Flawless Service

Drag-and-Drop Order of Service

Rearrange items instantly by dragging them into position. The running clock updates automatically so you always know if you're over or under time.

Running Clock — Total Duration Auto-Calculated

Set a duration for each item and the service total updates in real time. No more overrunning your time slot or cutting the sermon short.

16+ Item Types

Welcome, Song, Scripture Reading, Prayer, Sermon, Offering, Announcement, Communion, Testimony, Benediction, and more — choose the right type for every moment.

Add Songs Straight from Your Song Library

Pick any song from your library and it drops into the plan with title, key, and duration already filled in. No copy-pasting between screens.

Per-Item Duration, Key & Leader

Each item carries its own duration, musical key, and assigned leader so every person on stage knows their role before Sunday arrives.

Quick Add

Tap "Quick Add" to insert a new item between any two steps — useful for last-minute additions without rebuilding the whole plan.

Save as a Reusable Template

Done building a plan that worked well? Save it as a template and spin up next week's service in seconds — same structure, new songs.

Share a Read-Only Plan Link

Generate a read-only link and send it to your pastor, tech team, or volunteers — they see the full plan without needing a login.

Export to PDF

Print a clean, formatted order-of-service PDF for the pulpit, the sound booth, and the green room — everyone on the same page, literally.
