Every service covered. Paid players included.
Schedule your worship team and your paid musicians for the weekly rhythm of services — volunteers, section leaders, and sub organists together — with rates and W-9s handled, not hidden in a shoebox.

The part nobody signed up for
Volunteer tools can't pay anyone
Your scheduling app is built for volunteers, but your section leaders, subs, and holiday players are paid — and it has no idea.
The paid musicians live in a shoebox
Rates, W-9s, and who-played-Christmas-Eve live in a folder of emails and a checkbook, not your scheduling system.
Filling a Sunday at the last minute
Your organist is out Sunday and you're texting subs one at a time, hoping to fill it before the prelude.
Everything the call needs
Volunteers and paid players together
Schedule your whole worship team in one place — and treat paid musicians like the professionals they are, with rates and paperwork.
The weekly rhythm, handled
Build recurring services, send offers for the seats you pay for, and cascade to a sub when someone can't make it.
Rates, W-9s, and 1099s built in
Track what you owe each paid musician, collect W-9s, and export at tax time — no shoebox, no scramble.
Sub organists and ringers on call
Keep a ranked list of subs and fill an open Sunday in a tap instead of a text thread.
“Your paid musicians aren't volunteers. Your software shouldn't treat them like a shoebox of receipts.”
Made for
Good to know
We already use Planning Center for volunteers. Why Podium?
Volunteer schedulers don't hire or pay anyone. Podium is for the paid side — section leaders, sub organists, holiday players — with offers, rates, W-9s, and 1099s. Many churches run both.
Can it handle recurring weekly services?
Yes. Build your service rhythm, send offers for the paid seats, and fill a gap with a ranked sub list when someone's out.
Does it track what we owe paid musicians?
Yes — rates per service, W-9s on file, pay confirmations, and a clean 1099 export at year end.
