Available on Church Center v2026.4.8 and up:
Previously in Church Center, the only way a parent could see a security code in the app was if they checked in using Church Center. If they checked in at a Check-Ins station, the code didn't show up in the app. Now, security codes are visible in Church Center no matter where the check-in happened!
What's improved?
See a real-time check-in status in the app. Whether someone is checked in or out, Church Center now shows that check-in status accurately for everyone. No more conflicting information between your Check-Ins stations and what parents see on their end.
Security codes are always accessible in the app. Household members can now see security codes for every active check-in, including ones created at a station, so there's no scramble at pickup if someone's label goes missing.
Families can check in again for a second service. If a child is already checked in and needs to be checked in for an additional service, parents can handle it themselves in the app by tapping "Check-In again."

One screen, the full picture
Instead of splitting the household across multiple screens, everything now lives in one place. Families will be able see who's already checked in (with their security code) and who still needs to be checked in, all at a glance.
If you have any questions, reach out by hitting the question mark (?) in the top right corner of any page in Planning Center. We love hearing your feedback!
Happy Checking In!
