Volunteer Signup
Browse available volunteer positions and sign yourself up for upcoming services directly from B1.church. Positions are organized by category so you can quickly find where help is needed and join a team.
Before You Begin
- A B1.church account -- you must be logged in to sign up
- Your church administrator must have enabled self-signup on at least one position
Browsing Available Positions
- Navigate to the Volunteer Opportunities page (
/volunteer) on your church's B1.church website. In the member portal, tap Sign up to serve on the Plans screen to open the Volunteer screen instead. - You will see a list of upcoming service plans that have open volunteer positions. If your church shows only the next week of each plan type, later weeks appear once the current one has passed.
- Each plan shows the plan name, service date, and service times, how many spots are open (or Full), and a bar of how many positions are filled. The service date is the plan's actual calendar date, no matter what time zone you are viewing from. On the website, each open position is listed with how many spots it has open; in the member portal, tap Open spots to hide plans that are already full.
- Click View & Sign Up on the website (or tap the plan in the member portal) to see its positions.
Within a plan, positions are grouped by category (for example, "Band", "Hospitality", "Kids Ministry") and then listed by name. Each position shows:
- Position name -- The role you would fill (e.g., "Drummer", "Greeter", "Coffee Server").
- Description -- Details about the role, if provided by the administrator.
- Available spots -- How many slots are filled and how many remain (for example, "2 of 2 slots remaining" on the website, or "0 of 2 filled" in the member portal).
- Who has signed up -- If your church has turned on Show volunteer names on signup page for the plan, a "Signed up:" line lists the names of the people already serving in that position. Names are only shown when you are signed in.
Signing Up
- Find a position you want to volunteer for.
- Click the Sign Up button next to the position.
- A confirmation message appears: "You're signed up! Thank you for volunteering." (in the member portal: "You've been signed up!").
- The position now shows a green You're signed up tag (Signed up in the member portal) and a Remove button.
You must be logged in to sign up. If you are not logged in, the page shows "Log in to sign up for a position." with a link to log in, and the Sign Up buttons are disabled.
Removing a Signup
If your plans change and you can no longer serve:
- Find the position you signed up for -- it will show a green "You're signed up" tag.
- Click the Remove button.
- In the Remove yourself? dialog (Remove signup? in the member portal), click Remove to confirm.
- A message confirms: "You have been removed from this position." (in the member portal: "Your signup has been removed.").
Deadlines
Your church administrator may set a signup deadline for each plan. The deadline is a set number of hours before the plan's first service time -- for example, a 2-hour deadline on a 10:00 AM service closes signups at 8:00 AM that morning. Once the deadline passes:
- You cannot sign up for new positions.
- You cannot remove existing signups.
- A message at the top of the plan says "The signup deadline for this plan has passed." (in the member portal: "Signup deadline has passed.").
Position Capacity
Each position has a limited number of spots. When all spots are filled:
- The position's button shows Full and is disabled.
- On the website, the position says "All 2 slots filled" (with its number of slots).
- If someone removes their signup, the spot opens up again.
Check the volunteer page regularly, especially early in the week. Popular positions fill up quickly, so signing up early gives you the best selection.
