Concrete examples with a visiting circuit overseer, large events and cart bookings — plus ideas for other ways to use the system.
How it works
Three steps to get going — whether you're starting a congregation or joining an existing one.
Congregation admin applies
One person per congregation submits an application with the congregation's name and number. Master reviews and approves.
Admin invites members
The admin creates invite codes or links. Members register and redeem the code to join.
Everyone books
Members see and book available times for carts and events. The admin sets up locations, dates and time slots.
Event tent
How the event tent is booked
The admin creates events with dates and times — then members can book the tent.
Example
City fair — May 12
9–12, 12–3, 3–6 · booked separately
- Event date set by admin
- Bookable time slots
Personal data handling
Planning purposes only
Your data is used only to plan and coordinate cart and event-tent bookings in your congregation. We never use it for marketing or mailings.
What we store
We store your name, email, chosen congregation and your bookings. Nothing more than what's needed for the system to work.
Who can see your data
Only you, your congregation administrator and the system master admin can see your data. Other members see your name when you've booked a shift — nothing more.
No mailings or marketing
You won't receive any newsletters, ads or tracking emails from MinistryPlan. Only functional emails, e.g. email confirmation.
Full control — delete anytime
You can delete your account from Settings at any time. When you do, all your personal data and bookings are removed permanently — no traces remain.
Manage your account in Settings.
