Planning Center + WhiteBoard.church

Planning Center runs the schedule.
WhiteBoard.church runs the strategy.

Planning Center Online is world-class at scheduling people and services. But scheduling isn't strategy — and your church needs both. Here's how they fit together.

Let's be honest: Planning Center Online is really good.

Scheduling volunteers, managing service orders, tracking attendance, handling giving — Planning Center Online has been one of the most useful tools the church technology world has ever seen.

This is not a Planning Center alternative. We're not here to replace it. We're here to answer the question Planning Center was never designed to answer: Is any of this actually moving your church toward its vision?

They answer different questions.

Both tools are essential. Neither one replaces the other. Here's how to think about the division of labor.
