A bright community hall is set for an event: rows of chairs are neatly arranged, and a catering cart stands ready at the side. Sunlight streams through large windows, and a simple lectern is visible on the stage. A stack of neatly folded tablecloths is prepared.

A church choir is rehearsing in the group room, their voices filling the space. Sheet music rests on chairs, and a conductor signals the cue. Water carafes stand by the window, and a clock shows it's just before the evening service. The atmosphere feels focused and welcoming.

A baptismal font adorned with fresh flowers stands in the gentle morning light. A candle burns calmly, with organ pipes silhouetted in the background. White ribbons adorn the pews, creating a festive and inviting atmosphere. An open hymnal is ready.

More Clarity, Less Coordination in the Parish

Without a robust space management system, information quickly scatters across Excel, emails, and notes. This wastes time and leads to uncertainties.

No clear overview of rooms and resources

Without a centralized booking calendar, double bookings occur, equipment is prepared at the wrong time, and blackout periods are overlooked. This increases the coordination effort and unsettles teams, groups, and clubs.

Complex approvals across multiple roles

Coordination between the parish office, janitorial services, and volunteers often relies on email and phone calls. Approvals take longer, responsibilities are unclear, and important information can easily be overlooked in day-to-day operations.

Features that truly relieve church communities

From occupancy and multi-location management to approvals and billing: everything organized in one place, with clear rules and transparent processes.

Bring transparency to all rooms and locations

With a filterable booking page, 3D room layout, and calendar sync, you can instantly see what's available and when. Dependencies, priorities, and blackout times automatically resolve conflicts.

Discover Room Booking

An empty meeting room showcases a neat circle of chairs, with a floor plan and labeled keys placed on a table. Bright daylight streams through the window, and a clock shows just before the start time. The door is open, conveying clear preparation and organization.

A quiet parish office with a filing cabinet, stamp, and neatly labeled folders. An employee places signed forms into a folder. A small cross on the wall and a view of the churchyard provide a subtle context.

Manage permissions, roles, and GDPR compliance effectively

Define access rights down to the resource level, organize internal groups with communities, and capture mandatory information in a structured way. Dashboards and history provide traceability for committees.

Standardize rentals, rates, and billing

Online payments including deposits, digital contracts with signature, and automated invoices make scheduling rentals predictable. Custom cancellation policies and fees provide clear rules for all parties involved.

Payments and Billing

A reception desk in the foyer displays a labeled rental contract, a set of keys on a wooden board, and an envelope with a deposit note. In the background, the open access to the hall, a subtle hint to the house rules, and a wall clock marking the start.

At the entrance of the community center, a volunteer warmly welcomes a group with name tags. Light streams through the glass door into the hallway, and two clearly readable door signs hang on the wall. Coats on the rack, friendly faces, and punctual arrivals set the scene.

Ensure seamless execution on site

Check-in via QR, reminders via email, SMS, or WhatsApp, and foyer displays keep everyone updated. Custodial staff and parish office work on the go and respond quickly.

Industry Insights

How Digital Space Management is Transforming the Work in Church Communities

Today’s congregations have diverse uses: services, groups, concerts, rentals, and ceremonies. At the same time, many volunteers work with limited time. Digital scheduling replaces paper and spreadsheets with visible, up-to-date availability. This creates accountability and reduces phone calls. Younger audiences expect to see times online and make requests easily. In districts with multiple locations, a central view helps make priorities and blackout periods transparent. Data on utilization and demand supports decision-making in committees, such as for rates or room renovations. Mobile usage fits the daily life of the parish office and maintenance staff, and short information paths speed up changes. This means less coordination and more time for content and people.

FAQ's

Everything you need to know

If you have any further questions, contact us.

When is anny the best booking system for my church community?

anny is especially well-suited if you coordinate multiple rooms, halls, or chapels, manage both internal groups and external rentals, and need to handle approvals. If tariffs, deposits, contracts, calendar sync, and GDPR-compliant workflows are relevant, anny brings you the greatest benefit.

When does a booking system become worthwhile for church communities?

Experience from communities shows: From 2 to 3 regularly used rooms, 10+ bookings per week, or as soon as external requests, deposits, and key handovers are involved. Especially when multiple parties are involved in approvals, a system helps avoid double bookings and saves time.

How does the rental process of the community center work with rates, contracts, and deposits?

Prospects select their appointment and room, provide their details, and accept the house rules. You review and approve, with rates and deposits being automatically calculated. The agreement is signed digitally, and both payment and invoicing occur seamlessly. Finally, you efficiently document the inspection and return of the deposit.

How does the integration with Outlook and Google Calendar work?

Synchronization occurs in real-time and is bidirectional. Bookings appear in the respective calendars, and changes are automatically updated. You can link calendars and set permissions appropriately for each resource or team. Alternatively, an iCal feed is available.
