What Communicate is

A church communications calendar — built for the whole plan.

Communicate is a church communications calendar and planning app for the person who carries messaging for an entire church. Not a remixed project board. Not a social-only scheduler. One place for campaigns, every channel, and the schedule your team works from each week. Dig deeper on the church communications calendar page, or see how teams build a church communication strategy with clear workflows.

Instead of

Spreadsheets, shared docs, Slack threads, and last-minute hallway asks.

You get

Campaigns, a communications calendar, status, and assignments — finally in one place.

Campaigns

Group related messages into full campaigns — Easter, Fall Kickoff, a series, a ministry push — so the plan is intentional and cohesive, not one-off posts whenever they come to mind.

Content

Event info, images, copy, and messaging materials for each campaign — one planning home for the assets that ship, not scattered across drives and folders.

Channels

Where each message goes — email, Instagram, Facebook, announcements, and the rest of your mix — visible on the same communications calendar.

Assignments

Who’s assigned to each message, progress and status, comments and @mentions — the project manager for church communications and campaigns.

Plan the whole message, not just the event. One calendar. Every message.

From the people who run the plan

What church teams say in their own words.

Andrew Veritas Church · Cedar Rapids, IA

We can focus on one plan at a time while still seeing how everything connects. It’s all in one place instead of searching through spreadsheets.

Alyssa Christ Community Church · Laguna Hills, CA

Our communications team has utilized this tool daily. It has become essential for our internal communication, managing the many moving pieces we oversee, and planning months in advance — we can’t imagine working without it.

Rachel True Hope Church · Spokane, WA

Communicate has simplified our team’s processes, allowing us to focus on making sure every message is effectively being shared. Such a helpful tool to make our communication more strategic and organized!

Communications calendar

See every message the week it has to ship.

Your church communications schedule in one view — campaigns grouped, channels labeled, assignments and deadlines on the same calendar. Multi-campus teams share one plan without a second sheet per location.

  1. Build the campaign

    Start fresh, duplicate last year’s plan, or apply a template — Easter, Fall Kickoff, Youth Camp — then give the season a home with event context, assets, and every related message inside the brief.

  2. Schedule channel, assignee, and date

    Each message knows where it goes, who’s assigned, and when it’s due. Communication status moves Draft → Active → Done on the calendar.

  3. Stay in the loop

    Plans shift. Update a date, reassign someone, or leave a comment with an @mention — assignments and status changes surface to the right people on the same schedule.

Hallway asks are not a church communications strategy.

Run next week on a communications calendar you can trust.

Free for 7 days. Build a campaign, schedule a few messages, make assignments, and put what ships where the whole team can see it.

Capabilities

Campaigns, team communication, and assignments.

Beyond the weekly calendar: a brief for each campaign, conversation that stays on the work, and clear assignments on every message.

Campaign planning with a brief.

Event info, images, copy, messaging, and the full communication schedule live together for each campaign. Duplicate last year’s plan or apply a template for Easter, VBS, or Youth Camp — keep the message list, retune dates and assets, open the season ready to adjust.

Team communication that stays with the work.

Reviews, questions, and replies live on the message — not scattered across Slack and email. When someone needs eyes, it surfaces with the plan so the whole team stays aligned without the group-chat chase.

Assignments for every message.

The project manager for comms and campaigns: Received, In Progress, On Hold, Complete — with a name on every piece. See who’s assigned without chasing it in Slack.

FAQ

Church communications calendar — common questions.

How campaigns, scheduling, status, and assignments work in Communicate — before you start a free trial.

What is Communicate, and who is it for?

Communicate is a church communications calendar and planning app. It’s built for communications directors, social media managers, part-time coordinators, and ministry teams who need to plan and schedule messaging across email, social, announcements, and more — with campaigns, assignments, and deadlines in one view.

How is this different from a project tool or spreadsheet?

Project boards track tasks. Sheets track cells. Communicate tracks what ships: each message has a channel, who’s assigned, deadline, and status on a shared church communications schedule. You’re planning communications — not remapping a generic tool to ministry work.

What is a Campaign in Communicate?

A campaign is the container for a season or push — Easter, Fall Kickoff, a sermon series, VBS. The campaign brief holds event info, images, copy, messaging, and the full communication schedule for that plan so everything stays grouped instead of scattered across files and weeks.

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

Yes. Duplicate last year’s campaign, or apply a saved template — keep the message list and channels, retune dates and assets, and open the season ready to adjust instead of rebuilding from a blank sheet.

Does Communicate include a communications calendar?

Yes. The calendar is the shared view of what goes out across channels. Filter by campaign, channel, or category (ministry); switch Week or Day view; and adjust dates without leaving the plan.

How does the timeline view work?

Timeline view is available when you need a multi-week look at campaign span — overlaps, gaps, and how long a push runs. Most teams run the week from the communications calendar; timeline is there for longer-range planning when dates move.

How do assignments work?

Assign each message with clear assignment progress (Received, In Progress, On Hold, Complete). Communications move Draft → Active → Done. Comments and @mentions stay on the work so the team knows who’s assigned and where things stand.

Does it work for multi-campus churches?

Yes. Communicate is built for Multi-Campus churches: church-wide campaigns and communications sit on one shared calendar so every campus sees the same plan. Switch between Global and a campus workspace to focus on that location; church-wide items stay visible where they’re scoped All campuses / Global. Local teams still run their pieces with clear assignments and statuses — without a separate sheet per location.

Is there a free trial? How do I get started?

Start with a free 7-day trial. Create your first campaign, add a few messages with channels and assignments, and run next week’s plan on the communications calendar. Most teams are setting deadlines and statuses the same day they sign up.

Put next week’s church communications on one calendar.
