SongSelect

If you have a SongSelect account, you can connect it to ChurchTrac. This allows you to quickly import songs, lyrics, and even chord charts. Learn more about SongSelect ›

A SongSelect subscription is required to import songs through SongSelect. To learn more, go to www.songselect.com

Service Elements

Service Elements (together with Songs) are the components that make up your Worship outline. Some examples of Service Elements include a Welcome, Prayer, Scripture Reading, and Sermons. We've created some sample Elements for you. Feel free to use these items, or you can create, edit, and delete items in this list to match the elements your church uses.

Worship Service Elements

Locations

Services, like calendar events, can have a location assigned. While the location field is optional when creating a service, it might be helpful if you sometimes meet in different places or have multiple services happening simultaneously.

Worship Service Locations

Service Templates

After you have created a service with your Songs and/or Service Elements, you can save that service as a template. Worship service templates save time when creating future services. Use this screen to edit Template names or delete them.
