A short guide to your community workspace.
Using Parish Studio on your phone
Open this website in your phone’s browser. Use the browser’s Add to Home Screen option for quick access. This is the online web app. Companion iOS and Android apps are planned for release alongside the website; App Store and Google Play downloads are not available yet. Phone push notifications are not active.
Need help during the preview?
Contact the person who gave you access through your existing communication channel. A public support address has not been set up yet.
Can I downgrade from Team to Organizer?
The downgrade takes effect at the next renewal, at $15/month. Team access continues until then. The community owner keeps the single organizer seat; other organizers become free members. Existing designs, events and community content are preserved. The confirmation shows the effective date and affected organizers. Billing is currently test mode only.
Can I upgrade or cancel?
The owner manages billing from Manage → Plan & billing. Both upgrades and downgrades take effect at the next renewal, with no immediate charge. Cancellation stops the next renewal, with access continuing until the current period or trial ends. Scheduled changes can be withdrawn before they take effect. Test controls appear once the secure Stripe setup is enabled and a test subscription is active.
How will the seven-day trial work?
One seven-day free trial per community, card required. Checkout shows the selected monthly price and exact first charge date. The plan renews automatically unless canceled before that date. The private preview uses Stripe test mode only: use a test card, never a real card. No real payment is collected.
What happens if I cancel and come back during my trial?
Canceling stops the first payment, but you keep access until the original trial end date. The trial clock keeps running; unused days are not paused or saved. Before that date, choose Keep current plan to undo cancellation and continue with the remaining time. Your original first payment date stays the same. After the trial ends, subscribing again requires payment with no new free trial, even if you choose another plan.
Who is Parish Studio for?
Christian and Catholic community organizers: churches, Bible clubs, prayer groups, youth and campus ministries, and volunteer teams. You can leave your Christian tradition unspecified. The current pilot is for adult organizers.
What can my community do here?
Create events, RSVP, offer volunteer roles, post updates and share reflection cards. Organizers also create matching flyers, square posts, stories and screen slides, with image, PDF and ZIP downloads.
Do invited members pay?
Members participate free and do not use an organizer seat. They join using an invitation link. A supported sign-in account is required to accept an invitation; browsing the homepage does not require an account.
Will there be iPhone and Android apps?
The intended release includes this website and companion iOS and Android apps. The website currently works in mobile browsers and can be added to the home screen. App Store and Google Play downloads are planned, but are not available yet. Store links will appear here after release. An internet connection is required.
Can I share a different reflection every week?
Yes. Organizers can save draft cards, choose the day, time and time zone, review the cards and approve a weekly queue. Each approved card becomes visible in the community at its scheduled time. Pause, skip or change upcoming cards. The queue stops when it is empty; cards do not automatically repeat.
Does weekly sharing send an email or notification?
Currently, weekly sharing makes cards available inside the community. It does not send email or phone push notifications. Invitation links can be shared manually, and cards can be downloaded. Email previews show the intended layout; delivery is not connected yet.
Are groups private?
Your community is restricted to its members and organizers. Open groups are visible to signed-in community members. Private groups and their posts are limited to members selected by organizers. Organizers can manage every group. Archived groups and their posts are hidden from members until restored.
Can I change or recover something?
Save drafts before publishing. Deleted designs and community posts go to Trash, where organizers can restore them. Community posts return as drafts. The latest single community change can also be undone during the current session. Editing a queued reflection requires fresh approval before it can be shared on schedule.
How is information protected?
Connections use HTTPS encryption in transit, and the cloud database uses encryption at rest. Server-side membership and organizer permissions control access. Browser recovery copies and downloaded files remain on your device. See the privacy notice for current controls and limitations.
What do the plans cost, and is the trial available?
The proposed launch plans are $15/month for one organizer and $29/month for up to five organizers. A seven-day card-required trial is planned, with automatic monthly renewal unless canceled. Stripe test trials are available for evaluation using test payment details. Live billing is not active, so no real payment is collected.
