Use the church admin copilot

The Church admin copilot at /manage/church helps you draft bulletins, follow up with people, schedule volunteers and set up giving. Drafts stay private until you approve them.

It's for owners, admins and managers of a church, ministry or nonprofit. If you manage more than one, pick it under Organization. The page has four tabs.

Bulletins

1. Under Draft this week's bulletin, choose the Week of date and add Staff notes and announcements.
2. Click Draft bulletin. The copilot drafts English and Spanish from your published events, public groups and your notes.
3. Edit both versions and click Save.
4. Click Ask to send to members when it's ready. Nothing goes out until a Christian.com staff member approves that exact text. The status then shows Waiting for staff approval and, once sent, Sent to … members.
5. Use Printable bulletin for a version to print.

Member care

Two lists for a person to follow up: Absent several meetings in a row (people marked absent three meetings in a row) and Open care needs without follow-up (no update in seven days). Open group takes you to the group. These are facts from attendance and care records, never predictions or scores.

Volunteers

1. Under Volunteer roles, add each Role and how many People you need per service, then click Add role.
2. Availability shows which roles members serve in. Members fill this in at /volunteer.
3. Under New rota, give it a Title, add service dates (Add a week) and click Create rota.
4. Click Draft assignments for a fair first draft that respects blackout dates, or Assign people yourself.
5. Click Publish and notify. Each volunteer is told only their own dates and roles.

Giving setup

A checklist for your giving page, with Go there links: listed as a church, ministry or nonprofit; verified; Stripe onboarding started; Stripe able to take gifts and pay you; funds named; "Where your gift goes" in English and Spanish; EIN on file; giving turned on. You can also draft your "where your gift goes" statement here, and the Giving QR code appears once gifts can be taken (see /help/admins/giving-qr-code and /help/admins/set-up-giving-funds).
