The library
Saturday afternoon
You are looking for the sermon on mercy. You type a few words. There it is: the date you preached it, the passage, and the file. Sunday is already on the calendar. Wednesday’s lesson is in the same library, still with its series.
01 — The library
One library for the messages.
Sermons, Sunday School, Wednesday Bible study, and articles sit together. Filter by the kind of message, or by a tag you actually use, such as Baptism, Holiness, or Prayer.
- Search looks at the title, the scripture reference, and the tags.
- The passage is on the card, so you can see what you taught without opening the file.
- The date you preached or taught it is recorded with the entry. The next time a passage feels familiar, you can see when.
- Sunday School and Wednesday lessons can be grouped into a numbered series.
- The Word document, the PDF, and any other file stay attached to the message they belong to.
02 — The week
The week, before it arrives.
The calendar shows what you prepared, and when you delivered it. Month, week, and day are all there. Color marks sermons, Sunday School, Wednesday study, and articles, so a glance tells you how the month has been spent.
- Open a day and the messages for that day are listed beside the month.
- Services that happen every week can sit on the calendar, so the week has a shape before you fill it in.
- A Sunday sermon and a Wednesday lesson can live on the same week without living in two different systems.
The week
03 — The record
Open it, and the work is with it.
An entry holds the title, the date, the scripture, and the files. Mark one file as the manuscript you actually preach from. Open the Word document or the PDF from the entry.
Your old folders can stay where they are. The copy you need is attached to the message.
The entry
04 — On your computer
Your computer keeps it.
Ministry content is sensitive. MinistryBase keeps the library in a folder on your PC. We do not receive it.
Nothing to subscribe to
The installer is free for personal and church use. After it is installed, the app does not need a connection, and it does not check in with us.
A copy when you save
Each save keeps a backup. MinistryBase holds the 10 most recent. You can also export the whole library, files included, as one zip and put it wherever you keep important things.
- Series
- Sunday School and Wednesday lessons can be grouped and numbered, so lesson 12 stays with lesson 11.
- Your files
- Word documents and PDFs are copied into a folder you choose, kept with the library, on your PC.
- Your name and your church
- Put them on the home screen if you want them there. Light, dark, or match Windows, whichever is easier on a Saturday night.
- Yours to remove
- Uninstalling does not delete the library. When you want it gone, delete the MinistryBase folder yourself.
Still being finished
A place to write the sermon in the app, printable bulletins, and a prayer list are still being finished. The library and the calendar are what you can try first.
When you can try it, we will write.
Leave your email. We will send one note when MinistryBase is ready to install on your PC. You will not get a newsletter, and you do not need an account to ask.
