📦 WHAT'S INSIDE - 12 Beautifully Designed Sheets
📅 Events Database - Your complete ministry registry. Log every event with a unique ID, name, type, date, time, location, capacity, lead organizer, budget, volunteers needed, and status. The day of the week auto-calculates from the event date. Status updates automatically between Upcoming, In Progress, and Completed. 20 pre-loaded events covering Sunday services, youth nights, outreach drives, Easter celebrations, community picnics, VBS, retreats, and more.
🙋 Volunteer Roster & Assignments - Track every ministry volunteer with contact details, ministry role, availability, skills, and emergency contact. The Assignments section logs which volunteers are assigned to which events, their specific role, and hours served. Annual volunteer hours calculate automatically.
✅ Attendance & RSVP Tracker - Log RSVPs before every event with attendee name, contact, number attending, meal preference, new visitor flag, and confirmation status. Check-in times are recorded for each attendee. New visitor counts update the Dashboard automatically - a key metric for measuring outreach effectiveness.
💰 Budget Tracker - Keep every ministry dollar accountable. Enter planned costs, deposits paid, and actual costs per event item. Variance calculates automatically. An ⚠️ Over Budget alert fires the moment actual spending exceeds the plan. Expense categories include Food & Beverages, Supplies, Equipment Rental, Venue, Marketing, Honorariums, AV & Technology, and more. A budget allocation pie chart updates automatically.
📋 Service Run Sheet - Build a minute-by-minute run sheet for any service or event. Each segment logs start time, duration, responsible person, AV requirements, microphone needs, script cues, and live status. Pre-loaded with a complete 18-segment Easter Sunday run order from volunteer setup at 7:30 AM through teardown at 11:30 AM. Duplicate and customize for any event.
☑️ Task Manager - Never let an event planning task fall through the cracks again. Assign tasks to team members with due dates, priority flags (🔴 High / 🟡 Medium / 🟢 Low), and status tracking. Days until due calculates automatically. Task completion percentage feeds live into the Dashboard.
📞 Church Directory & Contacts - Store every contact in one organized hub: staff, volunteers, vendors, venues, guest speakers, media partners, and emergency contacts. Phone numbers, emails, websites, and notes all in one printable page.
🔧 Equipment Inventory - Track all church equipment with asset IDs, serial numbers, condition ratings, storage locations, and replacement costs. Condition status (Excellent / Good / Fair / Needs Repair) and checkout status (In Use / Available / Checked Out) keep your AV team and logistics crew informed.
📈 Monthly Reports - A complete 12-month ministry performance dashboard showing events held, total attendance, new visitors, offerings, expenses, net balance, and volunteer hours for every month of your fiscal year. Two live charts - a revenue vs expenses bar chart and an attendance/giving trend line chart - update automatically. Year-to-date totals and 8 annual KPI metrics summarize your ministry's impact at a glance.
⚙️ Settings Sheet - Configure everything once: church name, pastor name, fiscal year, annual budget, ministry category list (15 types), budget categories (12 types), and volunteer role list (17 roles). Every dropdown across the entire workbook pulls from these lists automatically.
📖 Instructions Sheet - A comprehensive, easy-to-follow user guide explaining every sheet, every input field, and every formula in clear language - perfect for any skill level.
🏠 Dashboard - A stunning dark royal purple program interface showing 5 live KPI tiles: Upcoming Events, Active Volunteers, Budget Used %, Task Completion %, and Monthly Attendance. Below the KPI cards, a Church Name & Year banner pulls from your Settings. An Upcoming Events quick-view table shows your next 7 scheduled events. A live stats panel shows annual totals for offerings, expenses, attendance, new visitors, and open tasks.
