## What is Youth Ministry 2?

Youth Ministry is the home base every youth minister wishes they had. It brings your calendar, event planning, student roster, budget, and prayer life into one calm, focused app — so you can spend less time wrangling spreadsheets and more time with your students.

Built by someone who has lived the late-night retreat-planning panic, Youth Ministry replaces the scattered pile of docs, group texts, sticky notes, and half-finished templates with a single, thoughtful workspace. Whether you're running a Wednesday night meeting, a fall retreat, a summer mission trip, or a class series, every event gets exactly the planning sections it needs — and nothing it doesn't.

A DASHBOARD THAT ACTUALLY HELPS
• See your next events, pressing tasks, and students who need follow-up at a glance
• Surface stale prayer requests and urgent prayers so nothing falls through the cracks
• Jump straight into any event with a single tap

EVENT PLANNING THAT FITS ANY EVENT
• Retreats, mission trips, camps, service projects, weekly meetings, classes, small groups, worship nights, and custom event types
• Modular planning components: overview, curriculum, registration, schedule, housing, food, costs, transportation, volunteers, communication, design, while-away plans, packing lists, supplies, and attendance
• Each event only shows the sections you actually need
• Progress bars and milestone tracking so you always know what's left to do
• Save your own custom event types for recurring formats

ROSTER AND CONTACT MANAGEMENT
• Keep a full roster of students, parents, volunteers, and leaders
• Track engagement level, grade, school, and demographics
• Filter by grade, engagement, or demographic for outreach
• Dedicated contact management view surfaces birthdays, new guests, and follow-ups
• Import your existing roster from CSV

ATTENDANCE YOU'LL ACTUALLY USE
• Fast check-in for any event
• Automatic "last seen" tracking so you know who's drifting
• Attendance reports by engagement tier and event type
• Visual indicators on every student: green, yellow, or red based on recent attendance

BUDGET WITHOUT THE SPREADSHEET
• Annual budgets with line items organized by category
• Line items can be manual, tied to a single event, or aggregated across an entire event type
• Actuals pull automatically from your event cost breakdowns
• Side-by-side comparison between budget years
• Charts that show you where the money is actually going

A PRAYER SPACE UNLIKE ANYTHING ELSE
• Capture prayer requests and link them to students in your roster
• Add updates over time to watch how God moves
• Carousel mode: a focused, distraction-free presentation for your prayer time
• AirPlay to an external display for group prayer meetings
• Mark prayers as answered and celebrate them

WORKS EVERYWHERE YOU DO
• Native on iPhone, iPad, and Mac
• Syncs privately across all your devices with iCloud
• No subscriptions, no ads, no data mining

Youth ministry is relational, spiritual work. The tools for it shouldn't feel like accounting software. Youth Ministry is built to get out of your way so you can focus on the people God has given you to love.

Requires iOS 26 or macOS 26.
