Good questions
What churches ask about planning and serving.
Straight answers from how Covenantory works today. Bring the rest to a walkthrough.
Book a walkthrough- What does check-in look like for a family?
- Households by name or members by code. Children's rooms issue a pickup code, and new families are flagged as guests for Monday's follow-up.
- Can the sermon appear in the service plan?
- Yes. Link a sermon to a service plan and its title, speaker, series and Scripture reading appear in the plan. The pastor's study notes stay with the pastor and the people they invite.
- Can volunteers see only what they need?
- Yes. A volunteer sees their invitations, their role and arrival time for the service, and replies from the app or from the link in their text or email.
- Can we reuse last week's plan?
- Yes. Save a service as a template and start next week's plan from it, with the teams and sections already in place.
