Guide
How to use a pastor planner
Ministry mixes deep work (preparing sermons) with constant interruption (people who need you). A pastor planner protects the first and keeps track of the second.
Map the series
Use a goal or project page to plan a sermon series: texts, titles and dates for each week.
Prepare on a weekly page
Each week's sermon planner has the series, title, text and date, then the big idea, outline, illustrations, application, songs and announcements.
Block study time
Put sermon preparation into the weekly calendar first, before meetings fill it.
Keep a pastoral care log
Date, who, visit or call, prayer need and follow-up, kept general and private.
Track church projects
Project planners and meeting notes handle building work, events and leadership meetings.
What to include in a pastor planner
A ministry planner needs sermon preparation, pastoral care and church admin together. This one includes:
Calendar
Weekly and monthly pages
Dated month calendars for the church year and a weekly page for each week's preparation and visits. No daily pages.

Digital vs printable pastor planner
A digital pastor planner keeps sermon prep next to your Bible software and notes on one tablet, and you can preach from the outline.
Printed sermon planners suit pastors who prepare with pen and paper. Print the week's page on A5 for the pulpit.

An example week in a pastor planner
One goal, followed through a single week. The milestone and weekly actions are the kind of lines the AI goal step writes onto your month and week pages; the daily notes are what you add by hand.

See all themesDoes it work for a sermon series?
Yes. Each weekly sermon planner has a series field. Use a goal or project page to map the whole series before you start.
Is the pastoral care log private?
The planner is a file on your own device; we never see what you write. Keep details general and follow your church's safeguarding and privacy policies.
Is there a free pastor planner?
You can build this pastor planner and flip through every page in your browser for free, with a watermark. The tabs and links work in the preview, so you can check the layout before you pay. The clean PDF is $12 once, or included in Pro at $49 a year for unlimited planners. There is no free download of the full planner.
Does it work with GoodNotes, Notability, Samsung Notes and e-ink tablets?
Yes. Download the iPad size for GoodNotes, Notability, Noteshelf, Xodo, Collanote or ZoomNotes; the Android size for Samsung Notes, Penly, Flexcil or Xodo; or the E-ink size for reMarkable, Kindle Scribe, Boox and Supernote. The links work in any app that follows PDF links, usually in read mode rather than pen mode. Every size is included in the price.
Can I print the pastor planner?
Yes. Choose A5, A4, US Letter or Half Letter in the builder for a printable PDF with a wider inner margin for hole punching. Printable and digital sizes come with the same purchase, so you can use the pastor planner on a tablet and print the pages you want on paper.
Is the pastor planner dated or undated?
Dated by default, starting in January 2027. You can pick any start month and year (including this month), a length from 3 months to 5 years, and Monday or Sunday weeks. Or switch to undated and write the dates in yourself, so a skipped week isn't wasted.
Does the AI fill in the pastor planner for me?
Only the goal parts, and only if you want it to. Type up to six goals and the AI writes a milestone for each month and a short action for each week onto your month and week pages, plus a motto for each month. You can edit every line before you download. Everything else, from the calendar pages to the trackers, is yours to fill in by hand. You can try it 3 times a day without an account.
How many pages is the pastor planner?
With the default settings it comes to about 271 pages. That includes 12 month pages, 53 weekly pages, the Ministry, Faith, Projects & Meetings and Contacts & Dates pages and 20 notes pages. Switching off sections makes it shorter, and the builder shows the total as you change things.
Make it yours in about a minute.
Set your dates, device and goals, flip through the preview free, and pay only when it's right.
