Planning Center Services - commonly known as PCO or PlanningCenterOnline, is an ultra-powerful tool to plan events and services for churches. It helps communicate the flow of the event, timeline expectations, rehearsal and much more with team members....

No complaints. My needs were based on the fact that the person who configured our system originally did not do it correctly, so I am reinventing the wheel. Even then CUSTOMER SERVICE has been able to help me.
Administrator in Religious Institutions
There's a lot of effort being poured into being a ChMS and honestly there's just not enough flexibility with the system to fully customize it to your organization.
