Service planning for churches

Everyone knows what they're doing — and how far along we are.

Showflow keeps staffing, the run of show, the music and the conversation in one place. During the service, the whole team follows the same screen.

Free under 100 users. Nothing for volunteers to install.

The problem

Sunday morning, five places at once

1

The spreadsheet says who is on sound. Someone updated it Thursday.

2

The run of show is a PDF in an email thread from last week.

3

Messages live in a Messenger thread that starts over every service.

4

The musicians keep their chord charts in a separate app, in the wrong key.

5

And when the talk runs long, nobody knows whether that matters.

How it works

Three steps

01

Set up the service

Pick the date, assign roles, build the run of show. Reuse a template from last Sunday instead of starting over.

02

Share it with the team

Everyone subscribes to their calendar once. Their own services appear in Google, Apple or Outlook — and they get a notification when something changes.

03

Run it live

The service leader presses Next. Every screen follows along, with a countdown and the projected finish time.

Features

One place instead of five

Run of show

Build the order with a duration on every item. Drag to reorder. Save it as a template you can drop into any future service.

Roles and staffing

Sound, lights, ProPresenter, hosts — as many people per role as you need. Nobody gets double-booked, and the app suggests who to ask next.

The Music Stand

Chord charts that transpose themselves, a personal key for each musician, and practice tracks for every song. One person turns the page, the whole band follows.

Live view

The whole team sees what is happening now, what is next, and how much time is left. Light or dark, on a phone or a big screen.

Calendar subscription

Volunteers subscribe once. Their services appear in the calendar they already use, and update themselves when the plan changes.

Chat

Messages to individuals and groups, with replies, reactions and files. Create a group for the worship team in one click.

Notifications on your phone

Told when you are scheduled, when someone needs cover, and when something changes — even when the app is closed.

Swaps without a middleman

Cannot make it after all? Put the slot up yourself. Someone else with the same role takes it, and everyone is told.

And the rest of it

A staffing matrix across the coming weeks, suggested staffing, private notes, a printable programme, your own domain and logo, two-factor sign-in, and eight languages — each person picks their own.

Showflow does one thing — Sunday — and finishes it.

No giving or payments No children's check-in No membership database

@Amalie Holm do you have the slides ready for the talk?
Amalie Holm · 09:24
Yes, everything is in ProPresenter 👍
The Music Stand

Your musicians can drop the second app

Add a song once with its key, tempo and chord chart. The next time it is scheduled, it is ready. Every musician reads in their own key — the vocalist in C, the guitarist with a capo — and the app says so when they differ, so nobody plays the wrong thing without knowing why.

Mari turns the page for everyone · page 1 of 2 Practice tracks
  • Transpose in one tap. Show chords, Nashville numbers or guitar shapes.
  • Paste a chart from the web; the app recognises the chord lines itself.
  • One person turns the page for the whole band on a multi-page chart.
  • Upload sheet music and draw on it. Only you see your own markings.
  • Practice tracks per song, including separate stems for your own part.
  • Autoscroll, and an ordinary Bluetooth pedal turns the page for you.
Live

The part a spreadsheet can't do

When the talk runs five minutes long, everyone knows. The live view shows the current item, what's coming, and whether you're on time or over. The service leader moves the whole team forward with one button.

On every screen

Phone in a pocket, laptop at the sound desk, a monitor on stage. Same second, same view.

Light or dark

Dark for the booth and the stage. Light for the green room and the kitchen.

One button

The service leader presses Next. Nobody has to be told twice.

Who it's for

Two people, one page

For volunteers

Nothing new to learn

You get your services in the calendar you already use, and a notification on your phone when something changes. If you play, your music is in the same app — in your own key. No system to learn, and no need to ask what is happening on Sunday.

For whoever is responsible

The whole half-year in one matrix

You see the whole half-year at a glance, fill the gaps, and stop chasing people over text. If someone cannot make it, they arrange the swap themselves. If you are away, someone else can step in without a handover.

Pricing

Free until you outgrow it

One price for the whole church. Not per volunteer, not per role, not per service.

FAQ

Frequently asked

Do volunteers need to install anything?
No. It runs in the browser, and most volunteers only ever subscribe to their calendar once. After that the services just appear in the calendar they already use. They can add it to their home screen if they want notifications on their phone, but nothing requires it.
Can we use our own domain?
Yes. The service can run on your church's own address, with your logo and your colours.
Can people sign in with the Google or Microsoft account we already have?
Yes, both. You can also invite people with an email address and a password instead. Password accounts can turn on two-factor with an authenticator app.
Can we import the services we already have in a calendar?
Yes. Point it at your existing calendar feed and the services come in as proposals. An administrator approves them before they're visible to the team, and later changes follow automatically.
Do our musicians still need OnSong or a separate app?
For most bands, no. Chord charts live in the song library with the key, tempo and CCLI number, they transpose in one tap, and each musician can read in their own key. You can upload sheet music as PDF or images and draw on it, and one person can turn the page for everyone. Practice tracks can be attached per song.
Can each person read in a different key?
Yes. The vocalist can read in C while the band plays in A. The app shows a capo hint when your key differs from the band's, so nobody plays the wrong thing without knowing why.
Do notifications reach people's phones?
Yes. Add the app to your home screen and notifications arrive even when it is closed — someone dropping out, a slot needing cover, a message. On iPhone the app has to be added to the home screen first; that is an Apple restriction, and the app shows people how.
Is it in the App Store?
Not today. It installs from the browser instead: on Android you are offered an install button, and on iPhone it is Share → Add to Home Screen. It then behaves like any other app, with its own icon and notifications.
What if a volunteer cannot make it?
They put the slot up themselves, and anyone else with that role can take it. Everyone involved is notified, and whoever is responsible does not have to be the middleman.
What languages does it support?
Eight: Norwegian, English, Swedish, Danish, German, Spanish, Polish and Ukrainian. Each person picks their own — a team can be mixed.
What happens if someone is away?
They mark the dates they're unavailable, and the system won't let them be scheduled then.
Does it handle giving or children's check-in?
No, and that's deliberate. Showflow does one thing: planning and running services. It keeps the tool small enough that volunteers actually use it.
What does it cost?
Nothing, if fewer than 100 people have an account. From 100 users it is $20 a month for the whole church — one price, not per volunteer.
Can we try it first?
