10 Time-Saving Tools Every Relief Society President Should Be Using

Being a Relief Society president is a calling filled with love, service, and… a lot of moving parts. Between planning activities, coordinating ministering, tracking needs, and communicating with the sisters in your ward, it’s easy to feel like you need 40 hours in a day.

The good news? You don’t have to do it alone. The right tools can help you stay organized, save time, and focus on what matters most — serving the women in your ward.

Here are 10 time-saving tools every Relief Society president should know about.

1. Automated Reminder & Scheduling App

Never miss a meeting or assignment again. Tools that send automatic text/email reminders to counselors, committee members, or the entire Relief Society make sure everyone knows where they need to be — without you having to chase people down.

Must-have: Our Relief Society Organizer lets you schedule meetings, activities, and ministering visits in one place — with automated reminders for everyone involved.

2. Ministering Assignment Tracker

Ministering is one of the most important parts of your calling, but tracking who’s assigned to who — and who’s actually visited — can get overwhelming fast.

Look for a tool that:

  • Stores companion assignments.

  • Tracks visit dates and follow-up needs.

  • Generates reports for ward council.

3. Digital Contact Directory

Having phone numbers, addresses, and emails for every sister in your ward at your fingertips is a game-changer. Bonus points if it updates automatically when members move in or out.

4. Group Messaging App

Whether it’s notifying the presidency of a last-minute change or inviting the whole Relief Society to an activity, a secure group messaging tool helps you communicate instantly.

5. Shared Document & File Storage

Use Google Drive, Dropbox, or similar tools to store lesson schedules, activity budgets, and other important files so your presidency can access them anytime.

6. Event RSVP & Attendance Tracker

Knowing who’s coming helps you plan food, seating, and materials. An online RSVP tool with reminders ensures better attendance and less wasted effort.

7. Ward Calendar Sync

Syncing your Relief Society events with the ward calendar prevents scheduling conflicts and keeps everyone on the same page.

8. Spiritual Thought & Lesson Resource Library

Keep a shared document or app where you store inspiring quotes, talk links, and lesson ideas for easy access when planning meetings or activities.

9. Needs & Service Request Tracker

When someone in the ward needs meals, babysitting, or help moving, having a centralized tracker keeps things organized and ensures no request is forgotten.

10. Integrated Leadership Software (Your All-in-One Solution)

Instead of juggling multiple apps, use a leadership software that combines:

  • Scheduling & reminders

  • Ministering tracking

  • Contact directory

  • Event RSVPs

  • Group messaging

Our platform was built with callings like yours in mind — so you can spend less time on logistics and more time ministering to your sisters.

Final Thoughts

Being a Relief Society president doesn’t have to mean endless late nights updating spreadsheets and chasing down information. With the right tools — especially one that integrates all of these functions — you can simplify your calling, stay organized, and strengthen your ability to serve.
