Key Components of a Worship Outline

A Worship Outline is made up of two key components: Songs and Service Elements.

Service Elements are sections like Welcome Time, Prayer, Scripture Reading, Sermons, and more. You can manage your list of Service Elements by going to the Setup tab and selecting "Service Elements." 

The songs in your Worship Outline come directly from your Song Library.

Creating a Worship Outline

To add Service Elements or Songs to your Worship Outline, select the "Add Service Items" button below the outline.

From there, you can select any songs or other elements to include. 

Click “Add Selected Items” at the bottom of the list to include them in your service.

Editing Service Elements & Songs

After you have added your Service Items, you can edit each of them to include the time duration, who is leading that item, and add a memo. 

Note: If preferred, you can adjust the service time duration (0h 0m) to estimated start times (0:00) in your Settings / Preferences. 

You can also color-code your service elements! To change the default color, go to the Setup tab → Service Elements → Element Color.

For Songs, you have even more options. You can edit the key signature used in this service, tempo, view resources (such as links and files that you've uploaded), and even choose from a list of suggested songs to add to your outline!

You can also update the song in your Song Library at the same time, if needed.

Re-Arranging Service Items

You can rearrange the order of items by selecting the arrows to the right of the item and dragging it up or down to the desired position in your worship outline.

Send Your Worship Outlines to Your Volunteers

Once the outline is complete, schedule your volunteers and send them an invitation to serve. The volunteers who accept the invite can receive a copy of the outline, so that they are in-the-know ahead of time. Learn more about Scheduling Volunteers ›

You can also attach more resources to your outline that your volunteers will also receive as they accept the invitation to serve. This turns your outline into a complete volunteer resource for your leaders. Watch our Pro Tip video to see how this works.
