Turn hours of admin work into seconds of automation.
SetsBySunday brings together your spreadsheets, calendars, blockout dates and specific worship team criteria - into 1 tool that handles the heavy lifting.
The scheduling matrix creates perfectly balanced and formatted worship schedules that easily sync to your existing Planning Center.
Sets By Sunday was built by worship leaders, for worship leaders. It weighs skill, frequency, chemistry and personal preferences the same way you already do in your head every week — just without the sticky notes and the second guessing.
You tell it how your team works once. From then on, every set it builds reflects your judgment, not a generic algorithm's.
FAIR ROTATIONS
“I'm worried I scheduled this person way more than anyone else.”
“Didn't she ask to only play once a month? I think I just gave her three.”
SKILL BALANCE
“This set has three developing players and nobody to anchor it.”
“I've rearranged this roster four times just to even out the skill levels.”
NEW MEMBERS
“I keep forgetting to add this new musician into the rotation.”
“He auditioned two months ago and still hasn't played a single set.”
SetsBySunday learns exactly how you think about your worship team, and follows your guidelines to automate scheduling.
You decide what's most important to the scheduling matrix — skill level, frequency, chemistry, role, preferred musicians and more. Rank all factors from most to least pivotal, and the scheduler will follow your criteria.
Import your whole worship team and then confidentially assign skill levels, frequency, pay rate, and other markers to help the scheduler understand your musicians and how you'd like to utilize them.
Once parameters & members are in place, click "Schedule". The intuitive scheduler outputs a schedule as far out as you want. Approve, edit, or redo any schedule prior to publishing it to your Planning Center.
Make PCO work better for you.
Sets By Sunday is a modifier, not a full replacement for Planning Center. Import your people and blockout dates, then export any finished schedule back — so you still have one source of truth for your whole team.
Nobody has to learn the Sets By Sunday software other than the admin. Keep all other info in Planning Center for easy integration into your worship team workflow.
Every parameter can be switched on or off depending on your own worship team structure and philosophy. Nothing is mandatory — if a rule doesn't fit how your team works, leave it off and the scheduler won't consider it at all.
Our confidential rating system allows you to set the skill level of each of your musicians. Assign levels as learning, developing, solid, strong, or expert. Use this to make sure the scheduler maintains a balance of strong and beginner musicians on every set. Turn this feature off at any time.
Three steps to a finished schedule.
CONFIGURE THE SCHEDULER
Phase 1 of setting up your scheduler involves a sequence of telling the system what factors you want to use and how strongly you want that factor to be considered.
For example: In the "SKILL LEVEL" section, you get to decide the minimum skill level required to serve on a set. You can establish an average skill level for every worship set, and you get to choose if "expert" skill is a must have, nice to have, or optional when the schedule starts generating rosters.
DETAIL YOUR TEAM MEMBERS
Phase 2 of getting the most effective automated worship team scheduler working at full capacity, is to outline every team member. Once the scheduler knows the roles, instruments, skill levels, and serving frequency of every band member - it will use that to build guided schedules that fit your needs and honor your band member's preferences.
For example: if you have a team member with a preference set to "only play 1 set per month" - the scheduler will recognize that, and make sure that guideline is followed when building out a monthly worship schedule.
AUTOMATE THE TEDIOUS PART
Once you're here, all you need to do is review potential conflicts and approve final schedules. Before generating any draft schedule, you can input special requests directly into a text field. Simply tell the system who you do or don't want scheduled on specific dates, and the system will instantly incorporate those into the next schedule generated.
An example: if you have a weekend where lots of musicians have requested blockout dates, the system might have to fill slots with someone who has already played too many times in a row. You'll receive an instant notification allowing you to accept or modify the discrepancy.
Our AI assistant allows you to ask questions like “Who has served the most this month?” or input special scheduling requests like “Make sure John plays drums next Sunday.” The AI assistant will provide simple tasks and answers, without offering more than you need.

Placeholder testimonials — real quotes coming soon
Best Scheduler Ever
“Placeholder testimonial. Building a month of sets used to eat an entire evening. Now I set my parameters once and review a draft in a few minutes.”
Nobody Slips Through
“Placeholder testimonial. New members actually make it into the rotation now, and our strongest pairings still end up together.”
It Thinks Like I Do
“Placeholder testimonial. The schedule it hands me looks like the one I would have built by hand — just without the spreadsheet.”
You set every parameter for how the scheduler fills things out — which factors matter, how much they matter, and which ones you ignore entirely. Nothing is baked in.
The AI assistant is only permitted to answer your questions about the roster and perform the scheduling tasks you ask for. It won't be creative, it never offers opinions, and it only ever acts on your own roster data and the parameters you've already set.
You no longer have to hunt through schedules and spreadsheets to find answers to your rostering questions. Ask who's overdue, who served the most, or who's never been paired together — and get an answer instantly.
