5 Operations Assistants. $99/month.
Your staff should be with people.
Not buried in admin.
5 operations assistants handle the tracking, the follow-through, and the content — so every person on your team can be fully present with the people who need them.
A care coordinator costs $2,667/month. A social media manager costs $2,083/month. An outreach coordinator costs $2,333/month. Your operations team starts at $99/month.
Free plan available. No card required.
Who in your church is about to walk away?
You know the feeling. It’s Tuesday afternoon. You’re staring at a spreadsheet trying to remember who was missing Sunday. Was it the Rodriguez family? When’s the last time James was here? Did anyone follow up with Saturday’s visitors?
You spent 20 hours on Sunday’s sermon. By Tuesday, 148 of your 150 members have forgotten it. There are no devotionals from it. No discussion guides. No social posts. The sermon dies on Sunday.
Saturday, 4 volunteers knock 30 doors. 3 people are interested. Their names go on a sticky note. By Monday, the sticky note is lost.
This is what church operations look like when your only staff member is you. And the weight isn’t about time management. It’s about souls you’re losing because you can’t be everywhere.
Operating.Church changes Tuesday.
You open your phone. Your operations briefing says:
You didn’t write a report. You didn’t check a spreadsheet. You didn’t wonder who’s missing. Your operations team tracked everything overnight. Now you can make the calls that matter — and show up fully present.
Your Operations Team
Meet your operations team
Running behind the scenes so your staff runs toward people.
Care Operations Assistant
Replaces a $2,667/month hire
What it handles
Monitors every attendance pattern, every engagement drop, every missed Sunday across your entire congregation. Monday morning, your pastor’s phone shows exactly who needs attention — name, spiritual stage, how long they’ve been absent, and recommended next steps.
So your pastor can
Walk into every visit prepared. Not wondering who’s missing. Not checking spreadsheets. Just showing up — fully present — for the person who needs them.
Content Operations Assistant
Replaces a $2,083/month hire
What it handles
Takes your Sunday sermon and produces 7 days of stage-personalized devotionals — different for the new believer at Stage 1 and the ministry leader at Stage 8. Generates social media posts with images. Creates a small group discussion guide. All waiting for one-tap pastor approval Monday morning.
So your pastor can
Preach knowing that sermon won’t be forgotten by Tuesday. It works all week, reaching every member exactly where they are spiritually — without writing a single social post or discussion question.
Outreach Operations Assistant
Replaces a $2,333/month hire
What it handles
Maps the streets around your church. Provides property data for 200 doors. Plans Saturday routes with addresses and talking points. After outreach, tracks every prospect: who was interested, who visited Sunday, who needs follow-up. The follow-through runs itself.
So your pastor can
Show up Saturday with a plan, not a guess. Knock doors knowing someone is tracking every conversation. Focus on the person at the door — not the clipboard.
Discipleship Operations Assistant
Replaces a $2,917/month hire
What it handles
Tracks every member’s journey through 8 spiritual stages — from First Contact to Serving. Identifies who’s stalled at Stage 4, who’s ready to lead at Stage 7, who’s been consistent for months and might be your next small group leader. Surfaces growth patterns the pastor would take months to notice.
So your pastor can
Invest in the right people at the right time. Know exactly who’s ready for the next conversation — and what that conversation should be about.
Events Operations Assistant
Replaces a $1,833/month hire
What it handles
Plans events, sends invitations, tracks RSVPs, sends reminders, follows up with no-shows, and creates post-event summaries. When Tom invites his neighbor Dave to the men’s breakfast, the system makes sure Dave gets a follow-up — not a forgotten handshake.
So your pastor can
Focus on hospitality, not headcounts. Greet people at the door instead of checking registration lists. Make every guest feel known.
All five roles. $11,833/month with human staff.
$99/month with Operating.Church
Same operations. 99% less cost. Your humans freed to do what only humans can do.
The Member Experience
What your members experience
Your members never see the word ‘AI.’ Here’s what they see instead.
A church that remembers them
Monday morning, a devotional arrives that speaks directly to where they are spiritually. It feels like their pastor wrote it for them — because it’s based on their pastor’s actual sermon, personalized to their stage of faith.
A pastor who knows their name
When the pastor calls after they’ve missed two Sundays, it doesn’t feel like a system. It feels like someone noticed. Someone cared. Because someone did — the operations assistant just made sure the pastor knew in time.
Follow-up that feels personal
Saturday’s new visitor gets a welcome message Monday. A devotional Tuesday. A small group invite Wednesday. It feels like a church that has its act together — because the operations layer handles the logistics invisibly.
The operations run behind the scenes. The care runs face to face.
What the operations assistant never does
Never counsels a member directly
Never makes a pastoral decision without the pastor
Never contacts a member without pastor approval
Never replaces prayer, presence, or the preached Word
Never sees or shares personal pastoral conversations
Never acts without a human in the loop
Operations handles paper. Your people handle people. Every recommendation is a suggestion. Every action requires your approval. Every member interaction is human-to-human.
Multiplication
Turn one into many.
The Woman at the Well met Jesus once. She ran back to her village. The whole town came to see Him. That’s multiplication.
Your church is called to the same thing. But you’re one person wearing six hats, and you can’t be everywhere.
What if your operations team handled the logistics of multiplication — so you could focus on the encounters that change everything?
One sermon
56 personalized devotionals across 8 spiritual stages
One outreach
Every prospect tracked through to baptism
One alert
A family retained before they disappear
One member identified

You preach. You counsel. You pray.
Your operations team handles everything between.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Your staff should be with people.
Every hour your team spends on spreadsheets, follow-up lists, and social posts is an hour they're not spending with the family in crisis. Let your operations assistants handle the operations — so your humans can be human.
