Church Center & Planning Center

Your Help Page for using the Church Center App and Planning Center Modules for Church Leaders

So what is the difference between Church Center and Planning Center anyway?

When you hear us talk about Planning Center vs. Church Center, think of it as being in a theater. Planning Center is backstage where planning, preparation, and scheduling happens. Church Center is on-stage where the audience (congregation in our case) sees all of that work and can enjoy it and interact with it. If you are a church attender/member you will likely use Church Center for most things. However if you are a ministry team leader you will likely use Planning Center for those functions. Below we have two sections for how to use Church Center and Planning Center.
