Most churches gather volunteer interest through surveys, spiritual gifts assessments, and connection cards, then struggle to turn that data into action. Responses sit in spreadsheets, ministries stay understaffed, and members who genuinely want to serve never get connected. Ministry Match was built to close that gap.^1
It uses AI to analyze each survey response and match volunteers to their best-fit ministry, complete with a compatibility score and personalized reasoning for why it fits. Churches build custom surveys (or upload existing CSV data) and share them by link, QR code, or website embed; each volunteer then receives a formatted email with their top matches, the reasoning behind them, and direct contact info for the ministry leader. A Pro plan adds a volunteer pipeline with a kanban board for tracking placements and team member access for collaborative follow-up.^1
Founder Corey Haines built Ministry Match after his church's connections pastor asked for a better way to assess members' gifts and connect them to ministry, and made it an affordable product any church could adopt rather than a costly custom build — money he'd rather see spent "on the congregation, on meeting real needs, and on winning new souls for Christ."^1 The platform complements existing church management systems including Planning Center, Breeze, Elvanto, Rock RMS, CCB, Subsplash, Pushpay, and Realm, and offers a free 27-question spiritual gifts assessment anyone can take without an account.^2 A growing blog provides guides on spiritual gifts and volunteer recruitment for church leaders.^5
