What Churches Say
“With CareNote, I coordinate 80 volunteers serving our congregation. They receive assignments by email, accept with one click, and report back—all without needing logins or training. It's transformed how we deliver care.”
“As a solo pastor with an 8-member volunteer team, CareNote is the perfect solution. With my $15/month account and 3 free volunteers, plus $5 more for the rest, my entire care team is equipped. Don't overlook CareNote just because you're a small church.”
