What to Expect and How to Engage

You’ll find a group of ~7,000 Planning Center users who care deeply about the church and are looking for ways to improve how they use technology.

There are channels dedicated to discussions about each Planning Center product, as well as channels for specific ministries, geographic locations, churches transitioning from another ChMS, and more.

In these channels, you can...

  • Share Planning Center best practices and pro tips.
  • Post pictures or plans of your church layout (for Check-Ins or Services).
  • Ask questions about how other people are using features.
  • Offer your own productivity tips.
  • Link to any relevant articles you've enjoyed about productivity, workflows, etc.

How to Get Started

  1. Create an account with the Planning Center Community, and you’ll receive an invitation via email.
  2. Download the Slack app and log in with your new account information!
  3. Head over to the #introductions channel and let everyone know who you are, where you're from, and which Planning Center products you use. By sharing your areas of expertise and interests, your fellow members know what to come to you for.

Rules of Engagement

We keep it simple: absolutely no offensive language, objectionable content, or unconstructive criticism. We'll always give you the benefit of the doubt, but if we see something inappropriate, we reserve the right to remove members at our discretion.
