Tools for running a church's ministries

Hub is a web app for rotas, registers, consent forms, bookings, bus runs, service programmes and child protection clearances. Most of it is used on a phone, by volunteers and parents as well as by leaders.

Rota

Each ministry's teams and duties for a season, on one screen.

  • Filled in from a grid, with the keyboard if you like
  • A warning when someone is away or already on another duty
  • Each team decides who can see its rota

My rota

What each volunteer is on, with covers and swaps.

  • A cover or a swap reaches the rota once the other volunteer confirms it
  • Away dates, marked by the volunteer
  • Duties in the phone's own calendar

Check-in

The register for the night, live on every leader's phone.

  • Medical notes and consent beside each name
  • A new arrival registered and checked in in one go
  • Everyone on the bus checked in when it arrives

Consent forms

Signed by parents on their phone, and shown at check-in.

  • Filled in from last year's form, apart from the signature
  • Due again each September
  • Paper forms entered through the same steps

Clearances

Each volunteer's vetting, from application to certificate.

  • Application, approval, form and references, signed in Hub or recorded from paper
  • Renewal when a clearance lapses
  • Child protection training recorded per session

Events and bookings

Parents book children onto events from their phone.

  • Consent, medical forms, questions and a signature, as each event needs
  • A limit on places, with a waiting list
  • What each family has paid

Bus runs

The crew's list, stop by stop.

  • Runs made from a season's stop list
  • Each stop marked as it's called at
  • The run home built from who was collected

Service programme

The running order, live for everyone taking part.

  • Songs from your own song library, with key and capo
  • What's up now, following the service
  • Items marked prepared, and flagged when they need visuals

Get in touch

Hub is being tried out with a small number of churches before it launches. If you're interested, email us with your church's name and what you'd use it for.

Sign-in is by a text message code, so everyone signing in needs a UK mobile number.
