Hi! How can we help today?
Then it routes itself.
Right person

Picked automatically based on what they shared — campus host, ministry lead, or care team.

Right time

Sent as a text, a quiet dashboard note, or a private escalation depending on urgency.

Right instructions

Not just a ping — the system delivers a sample response, a step-by-step task list, or staged nudges so your team knows exactly what to do and when.

Right follow-up

Nudges keep going until a real human on your team has actually connected.

No more "which form do I fill out?" No more "who's supposed to call them?"

One form. Everywhere your community already is.

Share it however works for your church. No app to install.

yourchurch.churchtempo.com/connect

Send a link

Drop it in your bulletin, text it after service, share it from the stage — one short link that works everywhere.

Embed on your site

Paste one snippet into your existing website. Looks like part of your site — no redirects, no new tab.

Print a QR code

Put it on seat backs, lobby signs, the bulletin, the welcome table. One scan and they're in.

However it arrives, it routes to the right person on your team.

Your volunteers already care.We just tell them who to connect with.

No dashboards to learn. No apps to install. They get one clear message with a name, a number, and what to say — then reply with a single digit when it's done.

See the dashboard your team will actually use

Every visitor, prayer request, and follow-up in one calm view. Pastors and volunteers see exactly who needs a personal touch this week — without digging through spreadsheets or inboxes.

The right person, the right way.

Five lanes. We pick the right one and send it the right way.

Smart routing diagram: a visit plan, prayer request, event idea, volunteer interest, and facility request all funnel into ChurchTempo, which routes them to the right person the right way.

Turn "planning a visit" into a real welcome. Before they even arrive.

Visitors fill out a simple form on your site. ChurchTempo routes it to the right campus host, drafts a personal text, and makes sure someone — not an autoresponder — says hello before Sunday.

15-question assessment with smart follow-ups

25+ ministries — pick what fits

Every interest captured. One next step at a time.

Visits, prayer notes, ministry interests, and every touch live on one profile. ChurchTempo drafts the message — a real leader sends it. Visitors never hear from the system.

The right prompt to the right person at the right time

ChurchTempo works behind the scenes so your team knows who needs attention, what they need to know, and what action should happen next.

Smart prompt routing

Every submission becomes an Action, Awareness, Digest, or Escalation — sent to the right team, never to the visitor.

One outreach owner

Multiple interests don't trigger multiple messages. One leader makes first contact; others get awareness.

Leader overload protection

Daily prompt caps, quiet hours, and digest summaries keep volunteers focused on a handful of meaningful touches.

Care & escalation rules

Sensitive prayer requests and pastoral needs route privately to approved leaders — never the wider team.

Grow your church without burning out your team.

More visitors come back

When someone hears from a real person before Sunday, they show up — and bring a friend.

Discover & deploy gifts

A 15-question assessment quietly maps each member's gifting, then suggests the ministries where they'd thrive.

Leaders stop dropping the ball

3–5 clear text prompts a day. No spreadsheets. No 'I thought you had it.'

Staff requests, handled

Event proposals, facility, purchases, time off, and coverage all flow through one-tap approvals — no inbox archeology.

Events actually get planned

Approval, timeline, task assignments — handled before the week-of scramble.

a day — the whole rhythm fits into a coffee break, not another meeting

Listens to your church. Texts the right person.

ChurchTempo sits quietly behind your forms, your ChMS, and your calendar. The moment something happens that needs a human — a visitor follow-up, a gifts assessment to act on, a group placement, a life event, or a staff request like an event proposal or purchase approval — it sends one text to the one person who should respond.

Step 1

It listens

Forms, prayer requests, and your calendar all flow in.

Step 2

It decides

Smart routing picks the right person, every time.

Step 3

It texts

One text with the name, number, and what to say.

A behind-the-scenes coordinator. Not a megaphone.

Questions church teams ask us.

Do volunteers have to log in?+

No. Most volunteers only ever get a text and reply with a number. The dashboard is for admins and team leaders.

Will my visitors get spammed?+

Never. ChurchTempo does not text visitors or members — only your leaders and volunteers. A real person reaches out personally.

Does it work for staff requests, not just visitors?+

Yes. Event proposals, facility requests, purchase approvals, time off, and coverage requests all flow through the same routing — to the right approver with one-tap replies.

What does the spiritual-gifts assessment actually do?+

It's 15 behavioral questions that never name the gifts to the person taking it — so answers stay honest. Behind the scenes it scores their top gifts, suggests matching ministries, and routes the lead to the right team leader.

Does it replace our ChMS?+

No. It sits alongside Planning Center, Breeze, or Rock and turns their data into action.

What if someone selects three ministry interests?+

Only one outreach owner gets the action prompt. The other team leaders see it in their dashboard — no duplicate calls.

How does AI fit in?+

AI works behind the scenes: classifying submissions, drafting messages, scoring assessments, building event timelines, and protecting leaders from overload. You don't have to 'use AI.'

How fast can we set it up?+

Most churches are live in under a week. Onboarding teaches ChurchTempo your leaders, ministries, and routing rules.

No more people slipping through the cracks.

Set up your teams, your routing rules, and your tone — ChurchTempo takes it from there. Your leaders see what matters today, and visitors hear from a real human.
