The Reality

The Unique Challenges You Face

Balancing a full-time job with pastoral responsibilities means every minute counts

Limited Time Windows

Your ministry hours are squeezed between work shifts, family time, and sermon prep. Complex software that requires hours to learn isn't an option.

Admin Falls Through Cracks

Without dedicated office hours, visitor follow-ups get delayed, volunteer schedules get confused, and important details slip away.

Tight Budget Reality

You're likely bivocational because the church budget is limited. Expensive software subscriptions simply aren't feasible.

Volunteer-Dependent

Without paid staff, everything depends on volunteers. Coordinating them while working another job is exhausting without the right tools.

On-the-Go Ministry

You're managing church business during lunch breaks and after hours. You need mobile-first tools that work from anywhere.

Mental Load Overload

Trying to keep track of everything in your head or scattered notes leads to burnout. You need one place for everything.

Manage everything from your phone. Update attendance at a red light, respond to prayer requests during break, schedule volunteers from anywhere.

Free Forever Plan

We understand small church budgets. Our free plan includes everything you need to run your church effectively - not a teaser that forces upgrades.

Pastor Mike Reynolds

Bivocational Pastor - Works as High School Teacher

"I teach high school during the week and pastor a church of 45 on weekends. Before TimelyChurch, I was drowning in sticky notes and forgotten follow-ups. Now I can check on my church during my planning period, see who needs a call, and make sure Sunday is ready - all from my phone. The free plan has everything I need. It's like they built this specifically for pastors like me."

Ministry Shouldn't Wait Until You Clock Out

Join thousands of bivocational pastors who manage their church in minutes, not hours. Start free and stay free - upgrade only when it makes sense for you.
