Worship planning app for selecting & ordering songs
Every song asks your congregation to engage with God differently — its worship posture. Vestry helps you choose worship songs around posture and theology, so your entire service tells one clear story about God.

Every search tool sorts songs by the same three things:
Popularity
Top-100 charts tell you what other churches are singing, not how to shape your own.
Theme
A theme narrows the topic, but doesn't tell you how each song leads your people toward God.
Musical Flow
A set can flow perfectly by key and tempo and still leave your people exactly where they started.
On their own, these build a playlist. None of them help you shape the whole service into one cohesive story about God.
So you decide how you…
Here’s how
01
Themes don’t tell you how to lead each part of a service.
The same theme, like God’s faithfulness, can ask your congregation to do completely different things. Vestry tags every song by posture, so you can see what the song invites your congregation to do.
Choosing the right posture for each moment means you won’t lead a grieving room to celebrate, or ask a frazzled parent to surrender their whole life to God at 9:05 a.m.
One theme
God’s faithfulness“Where is Your faithfulness in this darkness?”
Voicing honest struggle
“I will trust Your faithful hand”
Relying on God's character and promises
“Your faithfulness set me free”
Celebrating freedom through God
“Thank You for Your faithfulness”
Expressing love for God
“God is faithful in every season”
Proclaiming truth about God to others
02
So your people don’t just hear four good songs before a message. They come in from their separate weeks and turn to God together.
Start building with Vestry’s 23 journeys, or build your own. Each journey is built on the 20 postures and a historical worship framework: the Fourfold pattern, Isaiah 6, or the Tabernacle model.
Scattered → God gathers → God sends
God gathers the congregation out of distraction into one body before sending them back into the world.
Call to Worship: Inviting the congregation to active worship: sing, shout, bow, kneel, lift hands. This gathers scattered hearts and gives invitation to engage.
03
You know what this Sunday is about. You shouldn’t have to dig through hundreds of theme tags to find the right songs.
Vestry finds the theology tags for you, three ways:
You can always add, reorder, or remove theology tags.
Describe the sermon theme or service focus to guide song suggestions.
Add scripture readings to find songs that complement the passages.
Select how much the following occasions should influence your song suggestions.
Current Liturgical Season
The season that follows the life and teachings of Christ through the weeks between Epiphany and Lent and between Pentecost and Advent.
Other Holidays (next 30 days)
The US national holiday celebrating independence.

04
You’ve set the journey and the theology. Now you need the songs for each part.
Vestry’s catalog spans 12,000+ worship songs, from centuries of hymns to modern favorites. The hard part is finding the one that fits a given moment, and being able to say why.
Vestry rates every song by the posture and theology you’ve set, surfaces the best for each moment, and shows you why it fits, so you can stand behind every pick.

Hover a song’s rating to see its posture and theology fit.
05
You know your church, and where you’re leading it. A top-100s list doesn’t.
In Vestry, you set your preferences: prioritize, deprioritize, or even avoid worship genres, eras, writers, and artists.
Set them for the whole church, one service type, or just yourself. Either way, you’re choosing from songs that already match your choices, and still discovering ones you’d have missed.

Grace Community Church·Sunday Service
Opening with this Sunday — it sets up the whole message on the name of Jesus.
The original's in D and the bridge sits high. Want to drop it to C so the room can stay with it?
C works. I'll pull the chart from PraiseCharts.
Let's go!! The congregation loves this song.
Perfect. I'll send some notes on the instrumentation to the team tonight.
A community of worship leaders, free for everyone, paid plan or not, because most of us are the only person at our church doing this.
We move from a reflective song into a louder response and the gap always feels clunky. Curious how others bridge it.
Looking for something quiet and centered on the table. Hymns or modern both welcome. What has landed well for you?
We are a small team and the same three people carry most weeks. How do you build a rotation that actually rests people?
