Docketby Zippy Church Solutions

Run meetings the way polity intends.

The one place your session, board, or presbytery runs its meetings — agendas, minutes, motions, and attendance, built for real deliberative process. Not a generic board tool bent to fit the church, but software that knows how Reformed governance actually works. Now in pilot.

From agenda to attested minutes.

Docket follows the real shape of a meeting — before, during, and after.

Now piloting with churches across NAPARC denominations.

The North American Presbyterian and Reformed Council — the polity Docket was built around.

The record holds

Clerks come and go. The record stays.

Most bodies replace their clerk every few years — and the record walks out the door on a laptop. Docket is built so the body owns its record, and so the record can prove itself.

Attestation that holds up

Every attestation records who signed, in what role, and when — evidence attached to the minutes themselves, not a scrawl on a printout.

Published means published

Minutes move through draft, review, attested, published — and published is final. Nobody quietly edits last year's record.

Every action on the log

An append-only activity log records who did what, when — the kind of trail a higher court appreciates.

Standing rules, every version kept

The current text is always current, and no prior version is ever lost. No more "which PDF is the real one?"

Review of records, built in

Sessions build their record in the same system the presbytery reviews it in — checklists referenced to the Book of Church Order, findings item by item, delinquency tracked automatically.

Nothing leaves with the clerk

When the clerk changes, access is reassigned and the record stays put — directory, minutes, rules, and all. The next clerk starts from the record, not from a shrug.

Docket's AI drafts prose and suggests wording — it never touches the authoritative record, and no compliance finding is ever made without a person clicking Accept.

Built for the room it's used in.

Fellowship halls, church basements, borrowed classrooms — the wifi is bad, the tablets are old, and the meeting starts at 7. Docket is built for that room.

Works when the wifi doesn't.

Agendas save to the device before the meeting, so the docket is still in front of everyone when the church basement swallows the signal. Installs to a tablet home screen like an app.

The motion on the floor, on the screen.

A live floor console for the moderator and clerk broadcasts the motion currently before the body to a projection screen at the front — so everyone votes on the same words.

Practice before the stated meeting.

A rehearsal space where a clerk can build an agenda, take minutes, and run a vote as many times as they like — because for most members, every visit is effectively a first visit.

For every member, not just the clerk.

Ruling and teaching elders get a single place to find what they need — no more digging through inboxes.
