Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/17/2023 "Planning Center has it ALL!" 5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Services? Planning Center has made themselves a one-stop shop for most all of our platform needs. The fact that they integrate with so many other applications is exceedingly helpful. It seems that every time I think to myself, "Man, I wish Planning Center did xyz" I turn around and they have an update adding XYZ to their line-up. I am so grateful for all we can do within the Church Center App and the back end of PC. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Services? There are a few things that haven't worked as smoothly as Planning Center does overall. I don't like that the Messaging function for Groups only works through Church Center and not through the backend Groups tab. Opposite issue with Resources. Resources can only be added through the admin side, but it would be so helpful if Resources could be added through the app side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Services solving and how is that benefiting you? Tracking group engagement, calendar planning, resource management, first-time guest workflows, serve team scheduling, communication with serve teams... like ALL THE WAYS we could need help, PC is helping.

Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 9/5/2023 "Planning Center User for nearly 20 years" 5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Services? This is hands down the best way to manage worship service outlines, volunteer schedules, charts, music tracks, and realted files! It also is a great way to manage the songs we use and how often we use them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Services? There is a bit of a learning curve, especially with building and assigning teams, etc. But they have very helpful tutorial videos. Navagating the different features can be a bit convoluted as well.

Pastor for Creative Arts Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 3/30/2023 "Setting a High Bar for Planning Church Worship Gatherings" 5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Services? All of the tools are built for worship leaders and planners to effectively and efficiently schedule volunteers and resource them with everything needed for a successful gathering for worship. All of the automation in scheduling reminders and all of the ways to customize the plans are vitally important for our workflow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Services? The current pricing breakdowns seem arbitrary, and there isn't a good pricepoint for our specific church size. We actually use a legacy plan that was a better fit, but if we ever make a change we will get stuck in the new pricing breakdowns. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Services solving and how is that benefiting you? Planning Center Services helps us schedule volunteers for our large group gatherings, security team, welcome team, children's ministry, and student ministry. It is a hub for sharing resources for songs, sermons, videos, and any other elements for our worship services. It has automated scheduling tools that save our volunteers time, and the database of volunteers makes communication simple and easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Planning Center Services? I don't have a downside to Planning Center. I love all of their products that I use, and wish I could use all of their products.

JS Johann S. Pastor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 10/6/2022 "In-depth service planning made easy" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Services? Planning Centre Services has an absolutely incredible UI, making the abundance of information that needs to be incorporated in planning an effective service (band members, serving teams, media, speakers, order of events) so intuitive to bring together and coordinate. Scheduling all the different role players is also a sinch and makes a huge difference in administrating service planning. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Services? The price can be fairly hefty as it scales over a certain amount of users. We have a multi-site model, and the cost for volunteers in each serving area makes the database balloon quickly. Also, the mobile app can be very resource-intensive on older phone models. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Services solving and how is that benefiting you? We need to do weekly planning and coordinating for our Sunday services (and other church events). This involves both the ordering of music, media, speakers, expressions and announcements as well as each of the people involved in these areas in terms of their availability and task. We are able to coordinate whole teams of tech, worship, serving, preachers, hosts, and kids ministry volunteers into well-designed ministry flows and service schedules.

Kid's Pastor Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/26/2022 "Works so great for our organization!" 5/5 What do you like best about Planning Center Services? Planning Center Services helps our team stay organized and on track. It allows our worship services to flow seamlessly, as we can coordinate and organize who is doing what in our weekly services. It also helps us send out reminders to those who are participating in our services and allows us to place individuals into teams/groups that work together! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Planning Center Services? My one pet peeve with Planning Center Services is that you do not have full functionality on a phone web browser. I was in a spot where I did not have a computer, so I tried to pull up the service plan on my phone web browser, and it did not have the same full functionality as it does on a normal desktop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Planning Center Services solving and how is that benefiting you? Planning Center Services solves the problems of coordinating. It often falls on one person to make sure everybody knows what they are doing and when they are supposed to do it, but Planning Center helps ease the burden off of one specific person.
