Parable is a metrics and reporting platform built for Planning Center churches. It syncs data nightly across People, Giving, Check-Ins, Groups, Services, Registrations, and more — bringing everything into one unified dashboard so leaders can see attendance, giving, and engagement together for the first time.
Parable's AI assistant lets staff ask questions in plain language: who hasn't returned after a visit, which small groups are growing, how giving this month compares to last year. Answers appear instantly — no exports, no filters, no spreadsheets required.
Additional features include year-over-year comparisons, cohort tracking, engagement scoring, and forecasting. Multi-campus support is available on higher tiers. Power users get full SQL access and direct connections to Tableau, Power BI, and Google Sheets.
Parable sits on top of Planning Center without replacing it. Setup takes about ten minutes. Built by people who've worked inside churches.
