Free church rota generator: build the month’s rota without fighting Excel
Pick the dates, paste the names and get a fair rotation in seconds, with nobody in two places. Then download the PDF or the image, or send it to the group with a link. It is free, needs no account and works on a phone.
How it works
- When: pick the weekday and the dates to cover.
- Services and people: add the services (worship, welcome, media, kids, cleaning, kitchen…) and paste the names, one per line or comma-separated.
- Generate the rota: the rotation is fair and, if you want, avoids the same person in two services on the same day.
- Share: a PDF to print, an image for the group chat, WhatsApp text or a link. Your work stays saved in your browser.
Why it is worth it
- Ready in minutes: pick the services, the date and the people, the table is done.
- Share however you like: a PDF to print, an image for the group chat, or a link.
- Works on your phone: runs in the browser, nothing to install and no account.
