Ministry Scheduler Pro (MSP) supports ministry scheduling in thousands of churches across the country — both big and small. Some of the churches where MSP has streamlined volunteer scheduling and increased engagement are well-established points of interest in their communities. As a celebration of these important places of worship and how they represent their communities as historic, architectural, and spiritual pillars, here are a few notable churches that have benefited from using MSP.

Nestled amid 59 acres of beautiful manicured grounds at the highest point in our nation’s capital, Washington’s National Cathedral earns its reputation as one of the most beautiful churches in the United States for its stunning gothic facade and towering stained-glass windows.
