The operations layer your church staff wishes they had.
Cantor is one place to plan worship, coordinate volunteers, communicate with members, track pastoral care, and watch your giving — and it comes with Ezra, an AI assistant that does the first draft of all of it for you. You approve; Ezra does the busywork.
14-day free trial · No credit card required
Most churches run on a tangle of tools — one app for worship, a spreadsheet for volunteers, a service for email, a group text for reminders, a slide tool for Sunday, and a notebook for prayer requests — held together by one overworked person. Cantor unifies that, and Ezra does the drafting so your staff approves work instead of starting from a blank page every week.
Meet Ezra
Not a chatbot — a tireless cantor that drafts, coordinates, and surfaces work for your approval.
Drafts your worship plan
Pulls the correct Revised Common Lectionary readings — it knows the year, season, and liturgical color — suggests a sermon focus, builds the order of service, and assembles a set list of modern songs (hymns only when you ask).
Builds the volunteer schedule
Balances the load fairly across your teams, respects each person's availability, never double-books, and flags the gaps for you to fill.
Writes your communications
Email drafts, social posts, and SMS broadcasts in your church's voice — then routes them out through the channels you've connected.
Answers operational questions
“What's giving trending toward this quarter?” “Who's serving this Sunday?” “Pull the prayer requests from the last two weeks into the council report.”
Knows what you have connected
Ezra won't suggest drafting to Mailchimp if Mailchimp isn't hooked up. It works with what you've actually integrated — nothing more.
Everything Ezra makes is a draft you approve, revise, or reject. Nothing goes out without a human saying yes.

Everything in one place
Dashboard
Stats at a glance, an approvals queue, and Ezra's chat front-and-center. Cards click straight through to their pages.
Worship
Full service planning — multiple services per date, lectionary-driven readings, set lists, slide-deck status, volunteer assignments, and ProPresenter / PowerPoint export.
Communications
A real outbound hub — compose & send, SMS broadcasts, and audience targeting, routed through Mailchimp, Buffer, Twilio, Google, or Microsoft 365.
Volunteers
Teams linked to your member directory — media, ushers, altar guild, kitchen. Volunteers self-enter quarterly availability, and Ezra auto-builds the schedule. Reminders go by text or email.
Pastoral Care
Track prayer requests and member care. Pastors decide what stays confidential versus what's published to the public prayer wall — a hosted page plus an embeddable widget.
Directory
Your people — the backbone everything else links to.
Finance
Giving dashboard. Import a CSV and Ezra reads it to answer budget and giving questions, or drop the lines straight into a report.
Facilities
Room booking with customizable rooms and the amenities each one offers.
Lectionary
Where this Sunday sits in the Revised Common Lectionary — readings, season, color, and the weeks ahead.
No credit card to start
The free trial requires no card, and we say so plainly. Pilot churches get an extended grant.
Your data stays yours
Every church is its own isolated tenant with row-level security. Your data never bleeds into anyone else's.
Role-based permissions
A worship director sees worship, a pastor sees pastoral care, and finance is locked down to the people who should see it.
Export anything
Per-document export everywhere — PDFs for documents, CSVs for lists, with date-range pickers. Your records are never trapped.
