Stop running your services from a group chat.
companion. is the live coordination dashboard for church production and events teams — one place where your volunteers, roles, and itinerary stay in sync, from a normal weekend to Easter, camp, and everything in between.
For church teams
Weekends don't run on a group text and three spreadsheets — not once you've got multiple services, a volunteer team, and a campus (or five) to keep in step. companion. is the one live place your whole team sees the plan and the real-time status.
Built for
Made for every weekend — and every big one.
From a normal Sunday to the days that take months to plan, companion. is built for the people making it happen behind the scenes.
What you get
Coordinate your team. Take care of your guests.
Run the day with your team.
Your itinerary, volunteers, and roles in one live view. Production, worship, kids, hospitality, security — each sees exactly their part. When the plan changes, everyone knows in real time.
Host your guest speakers & artists.
The people you bring in — guest speakers, worship artists, conference talent — get their own guest view: their itinerary, a live feed of their pickup & arrival ETA, a direct line to your team by chat, and a profile that carries their travel, dietary, and rider needs to every event.
The Kairos Portal
Every team's status, live on one screen.
The Kairos Portal turns your itinerary into a live board — one column per team, each with a progress bar, a running ETA (“On now,” “Up next,” “Overdue”), and every task's time and location. You see what's done, what's on now, and what's slipping, the moment it happens. No more “where are we?” texts mid-service.
How it works
Set up your first weekend in under an hour.
Build your itinerary
Import your existing order of service or build it in minutes — the day's times for each service or session, in one place instead of a dozen docs.
Set up your team
Group your volunteers the way you actually serve — production, worship, kids, hospitality — assign roles, and invite everyone by email or link. Each person sees only their view.
Run the day live
The itinerary updates in real time. Chat by team, send announcements, watch the day's status live in the Kairos Portal — then review after with analytics.

FAQ
Questions, answered.
- Is this a replacement for our ChMS (Planning Center, etc.)?
- No — different job. Your ChMS handles people, giving, membership, and scheduling. companion. is what your team runs the day on: the live itinerary and coordination during the service or event. They work side by side.
- Do our volunteers need to be techy?
- If they can use a group chat, they can use companion. Each person sees only their part, and you can invite the whole team by a single link.
- Is this for our congregation / attendees?
- No. companion. is for the team running the weekend — production, worship, volunteers, hospitality, security. There's no ticketing or congregation app to manage.
- What about our guest speakers and artists?
- Those you can host. Guests you invite — speakers, worship artists, conference talent — get a focused guest view: their schedule, a live feed of their arrival ETA, a direct chat line to your team, and a profile carrying their travel, dietary, and rider needs. It's a clean experience for the specific people you're hosting — not a congregation or ticketing app.
- Does it work across multiple campuses?
- Yes. Every campus can run its own plan while leadership sees them all — one system instead of a group text per site.
- Is it an app or a website?
- Both — a full web dashboard plus a native iPhone/iPad app, and installable on Android from the browser. Everyone sees the same live weekend.
