Everything your church's work needs

Simple for staff and volunteers, powerful for the people who lead them. Here's what's inside.

Your Week

Everyone opens to what matters today

Home shows each person their own week: what's due, what needs an answer, what's coming up, and their services this Sunday.

  • Needs your response, Do this week, Coming up and My to-dos
  • Bottlenecks for leaders: overdue work and who it's waiting on
  • My List: private to-dos only you can see
  • Universal search across projects, to-dos, docs, files and people

Projects and templates

Do it once. Repeat it every year.

Build a template for Easter, camp or a sermon series with every to-do, role, due date and starter doc. Starting the project fills it all in, with dates counted back from the big day.

  • Template roles filled with the right people when you start
  • Repeating projects for weekly and monthly work
  • Series weeks, project managers and a Monday check-in
  • Progress, files, docs and a message board on every project

To-dos

Small details, handled

To-dos are the heart of Nehemiah. They open when earlier work is done, remind people on the days they choose, and keep every note in one place.

  • Assignees, due dates and times, sub to-dos and files
  • Forms and questions people answer right on the to-do
  • Ask someone a question; they can reply even if it's not theirs
  • Reminders and a daily Summary Email at the time each person picks

Requests and service areas

Ask for help without the email chain

Your creative, production and facilities teams list what they offer. Ministries request it, answer a few questions, and the work lands in the right project with real dates.

  • Services with turnaround times and working days
  • "Request by" dates worked out for you
  • Approvals, comments and updates for the person who asked
  • Rename Requests and Service Areas to your church's words

Planning Center

Deeply connected to Planning Center

Each part is switched on or off by your church's Super Admins. Nehemiah reads what it needs and only writes back what you turn on.

People sync

Follow the Planning Center lists you choose. New people are added automatically; possible matches wait for a Super Admin.

Services

Upcoming plans, who's scheduled where, order of service and songs. People accept or decline from Nehemiah.

Files to plans

Send slides, videos and artwork from a project straight to a plan or series artwork.

Check-ins

Totals by event and week, with regulars, guests, volunteers and headcounts.

Giving

Totals by fund for any dates, read only, and seen only by Super Admins and people you mark as Finance.

Groups

Coaches see their groups' members and attendance, and message them from Nehemiah.

And more

The details that make it yours

Roles and permissions

Super Admins, Staff and per-ministry roles. Every permission is enforced by the database, not just hidden on screen.

Notifications your way

23 kinds of notices in the app and by email. Church defaults, with choices each person can make.

Your brand and your words

Your logo and colors, and your own names for Ministries, Service Areas and Requests.

Reports

Volunteer teams, community groups, check-ins and giving, downloadable as spreadsheets.

Works on any device

Built for phones first. Every screen works on a phone, tablet or computer, in light or dark mode.

Help when you need it

Our team can help inside your account when you ask, and every support visit is logged.

See it with your own church's work

We'll set up your church with you and bring in your first templates.
