Visitors
The services and groups that meet regularly, with when and where, and a note for first-time visitors. The calendar as a whole or one calendar at a time: worship, classes and groups, children and youth, community.
Preview
Free, open-source software for a congregation
A church, a chapel, a synagogue, a mosque or a meeting house publishes its services, groups and calendars, tells visitors plainly how to get in and around, and takes requests to use its fellowship hall, classrooms or garden that staff approve or decline. Community events reach search engines, calendars and event directories on their own. It runs on the congregation's own Cloudflare account and never handles money. No license fees.
Early preview: the steps for a congregation to run its own copy are written but not yet rehearsed by someone new. Requesters don't get email yet; they keep a reference and look up its status on the site.
What it does today
Visitors with a disability, and families
An accessibility page in plain language: parking, entrances, seating, restrooms, hearing and sight, children and families, service animals, and who to contact.
People who want to use the rooms
A request form for a room, date and time, with the facility use policy above it and each room's use fee. They get a reference and can look up whether it was approved. No payment is taken.
Staff
Sign in with an emailed link or a passkey, no passwords. Approve or decline requests, hold a room, add services and groups that repeat, change or cancel one date with a note, publish events for everyone or for members. Nothing is approved over a service, a group, an event or another approved request.
