Frequently asked questions
What volunteer management features does HolyJot include?
HolyJot includes volunteer position postings, application intake, availability-based scheduling, ministry area organization, and direct communication tools for volunteer teams. Church administrators can manage all volunteer activity from a single dashboard.
How do background checks work for church volunteers?
Background screening is handled by VolunteerBadge, HolyJot's sister product, at volunteerbadge.com. You get a free FCRA-compliant SSN address history trace on any volunteer, plus an optional national criminal check for $5. A clear search can complete in minutes; if it surfaces a possible record, a trained reviewer examines it before anything is released (typically within 3 business days). Volunteers can also run their own check and keep it as a portable credential they reuse at every organization they serve.
How does volunteer scheduling work?
Volunteers submit their availability directly in HolyJot. Ministry coordinators can then build schedules based on that availability, assign roles, and send automatic reminders — reducing the back-and-forth that typically consumes hours of coordinator time each week.
Is HolyJot free for church volunteer management?
Yes. HolyJot's volunteer management tools are 100% free for churches — unlimited volunteers, unlimited members, no credit card. The only paid item anywhere in the ecosystem is the $5 national criminal background check through VolunteerBadge.
