About Planning Center

Planning Center is a set of software tools to help you organize information, coordinate events, communicate with your team, and connect with your congregation. As you use individual products, you contribute to the larger, integrated system, so you can do specialized work without siloing information. You can decide which products you want to subscribe to and which plan levels, scaling up or down based on what your church needs. Every product also has a free plan option you can always switch to, or cancel completely with no fees (contracts and cancellation fees aren’t our thing). Absolutely anyone on your team can use Planning Center, from your least tech-savvy admin to your resident software nerd. All the important information you need is quickly accessible so you can do your work behind the scenes efficiently. And for your congregants, you can provide a simple and engaging experience in a free mobile app and website.

    "Excellent for Volunteers and Planning"

    Posted 2022-01-31

    Pros: Easy to use to plan a church service. Great for sharing service flow with multiple people and allowing quick editing. We also use this so schedule volunteers and it works great. Volunteers can blackout dates that they aren't available. You are able to add your schedule directly to your calendar. Media can be added directly to the plan for that service so everyone can have access.

    Cons: Some of the UI can be confusing. Especially if you have multiple campuses or folders and you don't know how to navigate the folders.

    Overall: This is a great app for our church. We use it all the time and this is really the best way to plan a service and schedule volunteers.
