What Communicate is

Bring every ministry’s communications into one clear plan.

You’re coordinating the weekly email, Sunday announcements, and the next big ministry event. Communicate is church communications software that brings your schedule, campaign content, and team responsibilities together, so you can see what’s coming and prepare for it.

One shared view of what’s planned, with the content and responsibilities connected.

Requests

Channels

Plan email, social media, texts, and Sunday announcements side by side so you can see how your messages fit together.

Assignments

Communications calendar

See what’s planned across every channel.

Your church communications calendar brings the weekly email, social posts, and Sunday announcements into one view. Look ahead across weeks, focus on a single day, and adjust dates as plans change.

  1. Gather the campaign details

    Start with the event, audience, and dates. Add graphics and copy as they’re ready. You can also create a campaign from an approved ministry request.

  2. Reuse the planning you’ve already done

    Duplicate last year’s Easter or VBS campaign and update it for the new season. Smart Templates place messages around your campaign dates using your channel preferences and schedules.

  3. Plan around your church’s weekly schedule

    Choose a channel and date for each message, with preferred days to guide your planning. Create recurring slots for your weekly email, Sunday announcements, and other regular communications.

  4. Keep the plan moving

    Track messages from Draft to Active to Done. Assign the work, set due dates, and use comments and @mentions to coordinate the next step.

Campaigns and collaboration

Keep the details and the people connected to the plan.

A clear church communication strategy needs more than dates on a calendar. Keep campaign content, approvals, and conversations together so everyone has the context to do their part.

Collect ministry promotion requests in one place.

Give ministry leaders a request form for dates, details, and files. Review submissions in one inbox, ask follow-up questions, and turn approved requests into campaigns when you’re ready.

Keep campaign details, content, and schedules together.

Store event details, graphics, and reusable copy alongside the communication schedule. When you need a pastor’s review, send the campaign for approval and see whether it has been signed off.

Keep ministry leaders informed and conversations together.

Invite pastors and ministry leaders to see the plan with unlimited viewer access. Viewers can submit promotion requests and join conversations, while comments, files, and @mentions stay with the work.

Know what you’re responsible for and when it’s due.

Assign campaigns, individual messages, and promotion requests to the people doing the work. See what needs attention today, this week, or later, with due dates and progress in one place.

FAQ

Common questions about Communicate.

Find out how the church communications calendar fits your team, your tools, and the way you plan.

What is Communicate, and who is it for?

Communicate is a church communications calendar and planning app for communications directors, part-time coordinators, social media managers, and ministry teams. It brings email, social posts, texts, and Sunday announcements into a shared plan.

Can I use Communicate if I handle communications by myself?

Yes. You can manage your church’s communications on your own and invite pastors and ministry leaders to view the calendar. Keep weekly messages and larger campaigns organized in the same place.

Does Communicate send emails or publish social posts?

Communicate helps you plan and coordinate your messages, content, and responsibilities. You send emails and publish posts through the tools you already use; Communicate does not send or publish them for you.

How is this different from a project tool or spreadsheet?

Communicate connects each message to its channel, content, and date. Group related messages into campaigns and assign the work to your team. See how Sunday announcements, emails, and social posts fit together without maintaining separate plans for each channel.

What is a Campaign in Communicate?

A campaign groups the communications for an event or initiative, such as Easter, Fall Kickoff, a sermon series, or VBS. Its brief keeps event details, graphics, reusable copy, and the communication schedule together. Use campaign approval when you need someone to sign off.

What are Requests in Communicate?

Requests are ministry promotion requests collected through forms. Invited ministry leaders sign in to submit dates, details, and files. Your team reviews them in one inbox, asks for more information, and decides which requests to approve.

Can an approved request become a campaign?

Yes. You can generate a draft campaign from an approved request, carrying over the details linked to campaign fields. Review the draft and plan its messages when you’re ready.

Can I reuse last year’s Easter or VBS plan?

Yes. Duplicate a campaign and its communications, then update dates and content for the new season. Smart Templates place messages around campaign dates using your channel preferences and schedules.

What can I see on the communications calendar?

See scheduled messages across campaigns and channels, including standalone messages such as weekly reminders. Filter by campaign, channel, or ministry category, switch between week and day views, and drag messages to adjust their dates.

How does the timeline view work?

The timeline shows campaigns across weeks so you can spot overlaps, gaps, and busy seasons. Drag or resize campaign timelines when dates change.

How do assignments work?

Assign a campaign, message, or promotion request to one team member, with a due date and progress to track. The Assignments view brings that person’s work together by today, this week, or later. Comments and @mentions keep the conversation connected.

Does it work for multi-campus churches?

Yes. Communicate supports church-wide campaigns and local campus schedules. Coordinate the shared plan across locations while letting campus teams adapt their messages where permitted. Switch between an organization-wide view and individual campuses to focus on the work you manage.
