Keep Planning Center. Catch who's about to leave.
ChurchAI tracks the attendance and giving already in Planning Center and shows your team which families are slipping away each week, with the message ready to send. Your Sunday runs exactly as it does now.
Your records already know who's leaving. ChurchAI tells you.
Attendance, giving, groups, serving teams. It's all in there. ChurchAI tracks it person by person, so when a family stops coming you see the family, not a dip in the headcount.
| Dimension | ChurchAI | Planning Center |
|---|---|---|
| What you get | Each week, the families slipping away, with the message already written. | Your Sunday, planned and run in one place. |
| The question it answers | Who's slipping away, and who on your team reaches out this week. | Who's scheduled, who checked in, who gave. |
| Who owns it on staff | Whoever owns follow-up, usually a connections pastor. | The operations, services and Sunday morning teams. |
| Where it lives | Alongside Planning Center, lining up the follow-up your team sends the rest of the week. | Right where it is, running your Sunday as it always has. |
You don't need another database. You need to know who.
The answer was already sitting in Planning Center. ChurchAI gets it to your team in weeks, not months.
Catches the family in week three
Ends the spreadsheet hunt
Shows the whole family at once
Keeps Sunday exactly as it is
Three quiet Sundays. Your team knows which family.
ChurchAI watches every family in Planning Center against its own \1, so the family who never missed is on your list after three quiet Sundays, and the one who shows up twice a month isn't on it for skipping a week. Each family comes with the reason attached and the check-in already written.
Questions churches ask about Planning Center.
Do we have to cancel Planning Center to run ChurchAI?
No. Keep Planning Center exactly as it is. Your volunteers see no change on Sunday. ChurchAI works alongside it, works from what's already there, and shows your team who's slipping away.
What does ChurchAI track in Planning Center?
Attendance, check-in history, giving and groups: the things that show whether a family's still showing up. Attendance and giving are enough to start. Your service plans and song library stay out of it.
Will our Planning Center workflows still work after we connect ChurchAI?
Yes. Your forms, automations and check-in stations run exactly as they did the week before, and your staff keep working in Planning Center as they do now. What changes is Monday. Your follow-up person opens ChurchAI and finds the week's list waiting: which families are slipping, why, and a message ready for each.
Which team should own ChurchAI if our operations team owns Planning Center?
Whoever owns follow-up. Usually that's a connections or assimilation pastor, and at a smaller church the executive pastor. The list pays off when the person reading it is the one who'll pick up the phone. Give it to the team that reaches out.
When should we stay with Planning Center and skip this?
If your pain is Sunday operations, keep your money. Service planning, worship scheduling and a check-in line that moves two hundred kids are what Planning Center is built for. And if nobody on staff owns follow-up yet, start there. We'll tell you so on the call.
