About The Church CREW

The Church CREW helps small and mid-sized churches take a long, painful task of volunteer scheduling and turn it into a one-click event. Simply set up a list of your events, for example, weekly nurseries, lawn crews, and security teams then load up the names and optionally email addresses of your volunteers. Volunteers can create their own account, cancel or swap assignments, receive SMS notifications, and see the calendar on their mobile devices whenever they want.

Easy and effective

It’s easy to use and a great way to take the load off of your hands by making scheduling easy for you and not so tedious

Pros:

I immediately noticed a weight lifted off of my shoulders. Scheduling can be daunting but The Church Crew makes it easy.

Cons:

What I like least about The Church Crew is that it has AI capabilities and I am still not sure if AI is safe.

Vendor Response

Hi Abby, thank you so much for your review! Hopefully I can add a little comfort here - your data never leaves The Church CREW. Our AI capabilities are self-contained in our application and we do not pass any information to a third-party for calculations. I hope this alleviates any concerns. We're so happy you're here and hope we can continue to serve your ministry for years to come!

Great Scheduling Site for Small Churches

I’ve really enjoyed working with this site. I’ve also loved the contact that I’ve gotten from the site addressing my concerns and answering my questions. Top notch!

Pros:

I love that it does what we need it to for the price we can afford! It takes so much mental work off of me to know that my volunteers are at least getting notified the day before their scheduled shift.

Cons:

There are a few things that I’d like to see improved. I wish it would alert me that my volunteer has confirmed their shift. I get a little nervous that they didn’t see their reminder. That’s probably the biggest thing I’d like the option to have.

Reasons for choosing The Church CREW

I knew of other sites out there but they were usually too expensive. I heard about the church crew on the keeping it young podcast. I trust Dave Young and figured I’d give this a try.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the review! We have the 'acknowledgement' feature you've requested on our roadmap - we'll let you know once it's ready. Thanks for using The Church CREW!

Simple platform and Awesome customer support

So far things have been great. We're climbing the learning curve, which is going to be necessary with any software, and so far nothing has come up that we can't overcome. We did hit a small glitch and had to file a support ticket, but it was handled immediately, literally within hours, which was amazing!

Functionality

Pros:

We love the simplicity of the platform. We don't need a whole lot of bells and whistles, but we definitely wanted the individual volunteers to be able to manage their own schedule and be able to swap assignments if necessary without going through a mediator.

Cons:

It would be nice to tailor each individual week for how many volunteer positions are needed. For instance, if we're having a bigger event some Sunday, it might be nice to be able to add three positions to a task for that day without having to change the whole task setup.

Reasons for choosing The Church CREW

We preferred both the simplicity for doing what we needed to do, which was schedule volunteers, while also giving them control over their availability and schedule, especially if something had to change after things were assigned. The reminders through both email and text are a huge bonus, too!

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review! We have your request for adjustable volunteer counts by week on our roadmap. We'll let you know once it's ready!

Simple Volunteer Management Software

It's an affordable, simple software that really helps with the whole 80/20 rule of 80% of the work being done by 20% of the members. I don't want our volunteers to burn out (or me for that matter), so having software like this can help ease some of that monotonous administrative work.

Pros:

There aren't a ton of bells and whistles, which is totally fine. I just want something to help with overseeing a variety of ministries, scheduling volunteers, and keeping things orderly as best as possible.

Cons:

I would like to have others with administrative access so that they can go right into the software and work with their team members.

Reasons for choosing The Church CREW

I hadn't really looked into other software yet.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review! We have added the ability to assign other users as 'administrators' now, based on your feedback. I hope the tool continues to be a blessing to your ministry!
