📞
Calls and texts
Deacon actually calls each staff member with their plan and checks in through the day, and texts when a call isn't needed. No app to download.
✉️
Email, your way
Each staff member chooses what Deacon can do: read their email and draft replies, send from their own address, or neither. Nothing sends until they approve it, and tasks from unfamiliar senders are clearly labeled.
🗓️
Two-way calendar
Adds events, syncs both ways with the calendar your staff already use, warns about conflicts, sets reminders, and calls a staffer back exactly when they asked.
🤝
Schedules meetings
Ask Deacon to set up a meeting and it finds a time, books it on the calendar, and lets everyone know — no back-and-forth.
🗂️
Syncs with Planning Center
Each church connects its own Planning Center, and Deacon pulls your people, follow-ups, and attendance so it always knows who needs what.
🎙️
Sits in on meetings
Send Deacon into any meeting. He records, writes the recap, turns follow-ups into tasks — and flags the loose ends nobody was assigned.
📆
Schedules & timesheets
Each staffer sets their working days and hours once. Deacon just confirms the day instead of asking every morning, and logs the hours actually worked.
📊
Pastor dashboard
One running thread of every call and text with the team, plus the week's hours, tasks done, and what's overdue.
💬
Daily note & health check
The pastor sends one daily message to the whole team, and Deacon quietly flags anyone who's stretched thin or has gone quiet.
🏛️
One hub for the church
Planning Center, calendar, email, meetings, and your whole team, all run from one place instead of a dozen logins.
🔐
Verifies it's really them
Before Deacon shares anything, it confirms the person with a one-time code sent to the number on file — so a wrong or spoofed number gets nothing.
🔒
Private & secure
Every church's data stays walled off on its own, every conversation is logged, and nothing sends without a person's approval.
📒
Budget & expense tracking
Log spending against your ministry budgets and keep approvals simple, right in the same thread.
📞
Deacon answers your phones
Greets callers, answers common questions, takes messages, and routes calls to the right person.
💳
Bill pay
Pay vendors through Bill.com without ever leaving Deacon.
☁️
Cloud-drive sync
Two-way sync with Google Drive and Dropbox, so files land where your team already keeps them.
📱
MyDeacon mobile app
A staff app with push reminders and the day’s plan a tap away.
