Churches organize a variety of events and most require the help of volunteers. Recruiting and managing volunteers is always a challenge. First, you need to spread the word to make your congregation aware of volunteer needs. Then, it takes time to organize and assign those volunteers to various tasks. It's no easy feat and can leave church leaders scrambling to fill volunteer spots at the last minute.
Fortunately, sign ups help simplify organizing and communication for so many church events! Start seeing the benefits for your church with these 4 types of sign ups to create.
When hosting bigger events at your church, it is important to keep registration convenient for everyone involved. By creating a sign up, you can track how many people to expect, while also collecting any other information you need from participants. Adding custom questions to a sign up provides the information needed prior to the start of your event, from collecting T-shirt sizes to asking about food allergies.
Streamline payment collection by selecting the option to collect payment directly on the sign up. This simplifies the process for church administration.

List a variety of service projects, dates and volunteer shifts on your sign up. Then promote your sign up to make everyone aware of opportunities to serve. Use our location feature to link to Google Maps and provide an easy way for volunteers to find the event location.
You can set up locked time frames for these sign ups so participants are not signing up late for time-sensitive collections. You can also send out custom reminders to participants with details about drop-off locations and how you would like donations to be packaged.
Sign ups are a great way to simplify group coordination and event planning at your church. Next time you need to schedule nursery volunteers or have a youth event to plan, consider sending a sign up out to your congregation!
