I believe that the Church Center app is a wonderful tool that churches and members can use to increase involvement and highlight the importance of church membership. One improvement I believe would take this app to the next level is to modify the directory portion of the app so that you can write special notes for each member. I use the church directory as a way to pray for my church. And if there was a way for me to write the prayer requests of each person within the app alongside their contact information then it would help my organization so much. I also use it as a way to meet families or individuals I do not know in my church. So writing down which families I really know, want to get to know more, or haven’t met yet in a notes section would also be beneficial. I hope these comments lead to the improvement of the app, healthier churches, more fellowship and prayer, and God’s ultimate glory!

Church Center App Changed EVERYTHING!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Church Center App is an app I would recommend to many of my friends who I like and want saved. It’s clean cut, easy to navigate, and has all my favorite Bible stuff in one place. Finding my home church was a breeze. I simply allowed the government to track me and listen to all my conversations, and it knew what church I attended instantly. Before Church Center App, my faith was just in my head, but now with its in my hands too. For so long I’ve wanted a passive aggressive way to let people know how much better I am than them. Now with Church Center App, that’s easier than ever. My favorite setting in the Church Center App is its notifications. I often times when at work meetings, dinner parties, or nephews baseball games like to make sure my phone volume is turned all the way up and if possible, have my phone face up on a table for all to see. Church Center App with its bright and easy to read displays will alert me and more importantly all those around me numerous religious based selfless deeds that are coming up in my life. My top notification settings include: daily tithing, men’s group, kids group, women’s group, moms expecting group, international evangelism group, and PhD nuance ancient greek theologian group. Church Center App has truly changed my life and how those around me view me. I would 10/10 highly recommend. Not to be confused with Church App. Never ever download Church App. It’s demonic.

Love CC but WHY do I have so many notifications 😭

literally just some dude
I love Church Center, we use it for so much at our church. Great from both the participant and the leader sides of things!But the app icon on my phones home screen says I have 8 notifications, and I cannot for the LIFE of me figure out what they are 😭 I scrolled all the way down to my earliest chats, I’ve RSVPed to upcoming events, I’ve clicked pretty much every button on the app, and the number has not gone down from 8. It’s such a non-issue in the grand scheme of things, but as someone who likes clearing out and dealing with notifications instead of letting them sit, I really wish it was more obvious within the app what the notifications are and what I need to do to address them, because nothing within the app is badged or highlighted or anything. Thanks for making a great app that enables our church to do so much!!

Please write in to support@planningcenter.com, so we can figure out what's causing it and reset your notifications.—Laurie DossettSupport Agent, Planning CenterHelp Center | Video Courses | What's New

Doesn’t know who it’s for

Who is this app actually for? I think it’s trying to be too many things to too many people. The navigation is terrible and there are so many features that I rarely or almost never need, yet they are always in my face. The “Home” tab for example, is completely useless. The donations tab is also never helpful since I use automatic recurring donations to my church. As a small group leader/member I want to access those features immediately almost every time I open the app, but have to tap multiple times to get to them. There are also poor assumptions built-in to the design of the small group features. The calendar events seem like a good idea at first glance, but my group seldom engages with them. My group offers hybrid, but there’s no options for RSVPing to an event as a virtual or in-person attendee. We used to use GroupMe, which had the ability to create custom polls/surveys which worked really well for us to get RSVPs and boost engagement.

Hi Marcus - thanks for sharing that feedback with us. Your organization is able to customize their navigation and home page, so mentioning some of this to them would be a good first step for getting to your Groups page quicker. As far as the dashboard for Groups, we love to hear about improvement requests, so send those to support@planningcenter.com! Thank you!

We've improved grid image rendering to eliminate visual jumps, enhanced podcast loading and error states for a smoother experience, and made it easier to respond to group RSVPs with streamlined single-button actions. This update also includes dark mode support for better visual consistency, fixes for check-in location alerts, and various performance improvements throughout the app.
