Ministry Support
Church scheduling companion for iPhone and Android
Ministry helps church volunteers view upcoming schedules, manage personal duties, receive reminders, and sync assignments to a calendar.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add family or team members?
Go to Settings and use the Members section. Enter each name as it
appears on the church schedule. You can follow multiple members on one
device.
Why don't I see any schedules?
Confirm that at least one saved member matches a name on the church
schedule, then pull down on the Home screen to refresh. Check your
internet connection if the schedule still does not appear.
How do notifications work?
Ministry sends server-based push reminders for upcoming assignments
and personal duties. In Settings, you can choose reminder timings for
each role. Notifications must be allowed in your device settings.
How do I sync assignments to a calendar?
Open Settings and choose Calendar Sync. On iPhone, choose Apple
Calendar or Google Calendar. On Android, connect Google Calendar.
Ministry creates a separate calendar named Ministry and updates it
when you tap Sync Now.
Why did Google ask for calendar permission?
Ministry needs permission to create and manage the dedicated Ministry
calendar. It also reads calendar-list metadata to find that calendar
again across devices. It does not read events from unrelated
calendars.
How do I create a personal duty?
Tap the add button on the Home screen, enter the duty details and
reminder timings, then save.
How do I delete my data?
Removing the App deletes local settings. You can delete the Ministry
calendar in your calendar app and revoke Google access from your
Google Account. For deletion of backend information associated with
your installation, email
ministry.shigong@gmail.com.
What information does Ministry process?
Ministry processes followed member names, reminder preferences, an
installation identifier, push-delivery information, personal duties,
and limited first-party usage and reliability telemetry. Google
Calendar access is optional. See the
Privacy Policy for complete details.
