The new comedy uses a single-camera style, and centers on a young, agnostic woman who inherits a church. The program follows the woman as she integrates with the community's headstrong characters.

Poehler has starred as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation since its debut in 2009. The series was renewed for a 13-episode, seventh and final season in March. The actress most recently executive produced a pilot for NBC comedy Old Soul, and will star alongside Tina Fey in The Nest in 2015.
