Is tickward free and open source for churches?
tickward is free and open source, with unlimited timers for services, events, and ministry deadlines.
Countdown timer for churches and ministry teams
A countdown timer for churches keeps the next service, class, or seasonal event easy to check. Use tickward as a church service countdown for Sunday services, volunteer briefings, youth nights, and holiday schedules.
Create a church service countdown with the service date, start time, and timezone, then share the link with staff, volunteers, or members. Weekly recurrence keeps regular services current without rebuilding the timer.
Share a church service countdown with everyone
A shared link gives staff, volunteers, and attendees one simple place to check the next start time. It works in the browser, so people can open it without installing an app.
The countdown stays tied to a target date, time, and timezone. That makes it useful for regular services, special prayer nights, livestream starts, and holiday gatherings.
Embed a countdown timer for churches on your website
tickward timers can be embedded with a public embed link, so a church website can show the next service or event where visitors already check details.
Pin important timers when they need to stay easy to reach. Use sign-in when the same church timers should sync across devices.
