Ministry Centered Technologies

I really try to keep a tabs on the blog posts that hit the street about PCO because we love seeing how churches are using it to impact their ministry. You can do that to by subscribing to the rss feed of a technorati search for “planningcenteronline.com”. Here are a couple of posts from the last week:

“As we grow as a church, our systems must grow. And I prefer to stay ahead of the growth. Planning Center Online is helping us do just that. Planning Center Online will revolutionize the way you plan your services. Its elegant, simple, and can be used by volunteers and staff. If you have ever thought to yourself “I wish there was something to help me manage all of this!!! AHHHHH!! @!#%^#*” Search no longer. Here it is!“

“If you’re in ministry and are over any kind of team, this site could save you a whole lot of time… it’s already done that for me. Organization isn’t always my strongest suit so this has been a great find.

If you are going to look at it, find the tutorial videos on their website and watch the overviews… that’s the quickest way to see most of the features available.”

Happy Tax Day!!!

Tom Roepke from the “Who are these guys” website recently wrote a review on how his church uses Planning Center for their Student Ministries.

Originally when I sat down to develop Planning Center we really worked hard to make sure that this site could meet the needs of not just Worship Ministries, but all the ministries of the church. Thanks for the glowing review Tom, this really confirms that we are meeting our goals.

Planning Center (www.planningcenteronline.com) has made numerous administrative duties light. Our church was already using it to manage our multi-site campuses with four weekend services

Planning Center has lived up to its own promotional material. It allows you to develop a matrix that can track all songs used, track and notify volunteers, and give you critical control of all aspects of the service.

The biggest and most useful part of PC is that all the information regarding a service is located in one centralized place. Since it is web based it allows all users and participants quick and easy access anywhere anytime.

This article actually hit the web a couple weeks ago but I have been a bit busy so I wasn’t able to post it until now. Pretty cool.
