Build your ministry depth chart. Free.
A depth chart is a map of every ministry, every role in it, who holds it, and who is ready next. See where you’re one person deep before it hurts, and who’s ready to step up.
No card. No time limit. Set up in an afternoon. Includes 30 days of the full platform.

Three things every pastor wants to know about their teams
Where you’re one person deep
Every position where one person leaving would leave a hole. Nursery, sound, greeters, small-group leaders — you see the thin spots before a Sunday exposes them.
Who’s ready to step up
Growth ladders per ministry show who’s serving, who’s leading, and who is a plan away from the next rung — so your next leader is a name, not a guess.
Where plans are stalling
Growth and leadership plans with steps and dates. The chart flags overdue steps and plans that stopped moving, so a five-minute conversation happens before the momentum is gone.
From a blank page to a real chart in one sitting
Add your ministries
Worship, kids, hospitality, groups. Pull teams from Planning Center or type them in. Each gets its own ladder of positions.
Place your people
Drop people onto positions from your directory. Mark leaders, flag potential, note who needs support. It takes an afternoon for most churches.
Grow the next rung
Give someone a growth plan or a leadership plan with real steps. The chart tracks progress and tells you who is ready.

Straight answers
Is the depth chart really free?
Yes. No card, no time limit, no cap on people or ministries. Every new church also gets 30 days of the full platform first, so you can see what the rest does before deciding.
What happens after the 30 days?
Your church moves to the free plan automatically. Nothing is locked and nothing is deleted — you keep the depth chart, your directory and your team. The paid features stay visible with a lock, and upgrading turns them on around what you’ve already built.
Do our members see anything on the free plan?
No. The free plan is for leaders. The members’ page, check-ins and assessments are part of the full plan — they’re also what turns readiness on the chart from your judgment into evidence, which is why churches upgrade.
Does it work with Planning Center?
Yes. People and teams sync in on the free plan, and Planning Center’s background-check flag shows on the chart. Pushing edits and clearances back to Planning Center is part of the full plan.
