About

Arbor ChMS

Features
Read full description

Arbor is how your church asks you to serve — and how you say yes. See the services you're scheduled on, answer an invitation in a tap, and know who's serving alongside you. Arbor sends the asks and the reminders so your leaders don't have to chase, and keeps the human part human. • Your next serve, front and center • Accept or decline with one tap — no reason needed • Blockout dates you can't serve, so you're never asked • A gentle reminder before you serve (if your team sets one) • Notifications you control Arbor is used by churches to schedule volunteers. Your church adds you; you sign in with the email they have for you — there's nothing to create.
