What happens when someone fills out the volunteer form?
The volunteer receives the church’s confirmation experience, the submission appears in Shepherds Inbox, and the appropriate ministry leaders can be notified by email or text based on the ministries selected.
Can one person choose more than one ministry?
Yes. A volunteer can express interest in multiple ministries, and each relevant ministry team can follow up about its own serving opportunity.
How does Shepherds Inbox prevent missed follow-up?
The queue shows who still needs contact, reminders surface overdue follow-up, and admins can see where attention is needed without digging through spreadsheets or message threads.
Does it replace our church management system?
No. Shepherds Inbox is focused on the follow-up loop: capturing interest, notifying leaders, logging contact, and helping people take the next step.
Can leaders use Shepherds Inbox on their phones?
Yes. Shepherds Inbox is mobile optimized, so leaders can open a sign-up notification, review the volunteer’s details, and log follow-up from their phone without needing to sit at a desk.
What happens after I join the waitlist?
We’ll reach out by email, learn a little about your church, and schedule onboarding when a spot opens. No payment is collected when you join the waitlist.
