Planning Center Reviews

I love that it integrates with Church Center and that you can have users take attendance, etc.

We're a multi-site church, and you can only assign one campus to a certain group. It would be helpful if we could tag two campuses.

It's easy to set up, easy to administer, and pretty easy to train people to use. Go for it.

We have a complete solution for all of our group leaders and pastors to manage groups.

It's easy to use and is a great way to keep our groups organized! We can use it for a variety of groups.

I would like to see the ability to email our groups through the church center app. Also, you can't put someone in a group without that individual having the ability to see that group on their church center app. Some groups we would like to use for church staff only and wish we could disable the ability for individuals to see that they are "in" that group.

Planning Center Groups is so easy to use. If you are already using Planning Center, you need to also be taking advantage of Groups! Staff, Deacons, Youth Groups, Small Groups, Bible studies...the possibilities are endless!

There are many ways we use Groups - our growth groups, staff, elders, Bible study groups, children's ministry leaders, etc. We can take attendance, email, and add resources (such as our weekly Growth Group questions). Also, having the Church Center app allows you to view your group details and instant message those in your group.

Works seamlessly with other Planning Center applications. Plenty of options and app provided for church members to communicate with each other through PCO.

Needs a few more features to make it as robust as it could be. Does require some training for new users, but their tutorial videos are very helpful.

All of the group attendance and emails for the church are sent using groups.

I can have members all in one place and contact them without using separate software.

I haven't found anything yet that I dislike.

PCO Groups is a great resource to use for organizing groups in a few different ways. Check out Planning Center Univerisity Video Tutorials for a clear picture.

It allows us to see all our different groups in our church, some public and some not, divided into categories/ministries. All align with the primary database to see everything a person is involved in from their personal profile in People. Very Cool!
