Volunteer Coordination
How a small church could streamline volunteer scheduling
The Challenge
Many small churches rely on text threads, spreadsheets, and last-minute phone calls to coordinate volunteers. This leads to the same few families carrying most of the load while others want to help but don't know when they're needed.
How Relius Helps
- Track volunteer preferences and availability
- Set up recurring schedules with automatic rotations
- Send confirmation requests via email or text
Smart scheduling
Automatic rotation suggestions
Burnout detection

More Use Cases
Pastoral Care Tracking
How a mid-size church could unify people care across departments
Challenge
When different departments track families separately, pastoral follow-up becomes guesswork. Kids ministry uses one system, students another, and pastoral care lives in someone's inbox. Families end up telling the same story multiple times.
Scaling Operations
How a growing church could coordinate without adding admin staff
Challenge
Rapid growth often outpaces admin capacity. Events overlap, tech crews get double-booked, and nobody has visibility into the full calendar. Adding more services or campuses without a planning backbone creates chaos.
Multi-Site Unity
How a multi-site church could unify operations across campuses
Challenge
When each campus uses different tools, reporting becomes manual and late. Campus pastors track attendance separately, and nobody trusts the weekly dashboard. Teams duplicate efforts on communication and volunteer coordination.
Prayer & Care Ministry
How a church could ensure every prayer request gets a response
Challenge
Prayer requests often get tucked in bulletins and never make it to the right person. Congregants fill out cards on Sunday but rarely hear back. Care teams feel guilty and overwhelmed trying to keep track of everyone.
Family Ministry Integration
How a church could unify kids, youth, and parent communication
Challenge
Youth and kids ministries often run parallel systems, so families get emails from three platforms and still miss important information. Parents ask 'Which app are we using now?' and registration becomes a maze.
