Church volunteer teams often juggle one app for group chat, another for scheduling, and another for tasks. church.chat brings those pieces into one platform built for ministry teams, with a focus on commitment: teams communicate, plan coverage when someone is out, and build each week's schedule around the people who show up.^1
Each team gets chat alongside week-by-week scheduling, service planning, and tasks.^1 Volunteers who are out name their coverage in advance, auto-assign helps fill the rest of the schedule, and a Service Clock runs a live countdown off the service plan so everyone sees what is next and how much time is left.^1 Events sync two ways with Google Calendar, so volunteers see their commitments in their personal calendar.^1 The platform also runs services, events, and small groups with attendance and check-in built in, and a kids check-in that prints name tags and parent pickup tags to a DYMO LabelWriter 550 using a one-time code.^1 Recurring tasks arrived in late October 2026, building on the app's task assignments.^2
church.chat is completely free for churches, with no limits on teams, volunteers, or services.^1 A native iOS app named church.chat, from developer Carson Suite, is on the App Store.^2 Android is in beta access for churches through the website, and the earlier Android listing is gone from Google Play.^1
