Questions

Do I need any design or tech skills?

No. Pick a template, answer a few questions, and Gather produces the plan, the graphics, and the signup page. If you can fill out a form, you can run this.

Where does the signup page live?

On a clean shareable link we host for you — publish in one click and paste the link in texts, socials, and your bulletin. No changes to your church website needed.

Can signups go to a Google Sheet?

Yes — every signup is stored in your dashboard with CSV export, and you can optionally forward each signup to a webhook (Google Apps Script, Zapier, and similar) that drops it straight into a sheet.

What events does it handle?

Anything your church hosts. Built-in templates cover trunk-or-treat, carnival Sunday, beast feast, and back-to-school Sunday, and the custom option plans VBS, Easter egg hunts, fall festivals, men's breakfasts — you name it.

Does my Amplify subscription include Gather?

Gather is currently in free private beta — one Gospel Work account signs you into both, and beta access requires an invite code.
