What is “Planning Center” and what is “Church Center?”

Planning Center is the “behind the scenes” database used by our church to manage and create all the events, groups, etc. For our volunteers, this is where managers/group leaders can access their groups or events, or where scheduling and planning for a Sunday morning happens.

Church Center is the “front end” tool that connects directly with church congregants. This can be done through the mobile app and/or the websit e.

How does this tool help our church?

Thanks for asking! On the administration side, this app works with our database in several great ways:

We can easily provide our members with event, contact, and service information in a consistent location.
We can make it easier to join a connect group, while giving these groups a platform to plan and communicate their meetings and resources.
Data is entered straight into our database and keeps track of contact and giving information.
Children can be checked into their Kid’s Programs efficiently.
Registrations can be quickly accessed and registrants that are already in our database are easily entered into the registration roster.

Where do I update my profile?

What if I forgot my Church Center password?

Church Center utilizes passcodes not passwords, use your mobile phone or email address to receive a passcode to log in.

You can update your profile to connect your preferred email and mobile number to your profile.

Vibrant’s office staff cannot reset your login for you, but we can update your contact information if you are not receiving the passcode. Please contact us to help you with this.

The login is asking for a password. What is my “Planning Center” password?

If asked for your Planning Center password, you have navigated to the back-end database which is used for administration. If this was by accident, return to the original website and log in with your email or mobile number. If you are a small group leader/event manager, this would be to edit the details of your group/event.

During the login process to planning center, if you forget your password, click on “Need a password”. Follow the process by using your mobile number or your email address that is in our church database to send a reset code. Once you enter this code, it will prompt you to create a new password.

The church cannot reset your password for you, but Vibrant’s office staff can add a phone number or email address to your profile, contact u s to add your information and be able to log in.

I don’t have a smartphone or mobile number; can I use Church Center?

How is my information stored on this app?

This app is linked to our church database, where we store information on our congregants for ministry and donation receipting purposes. The information was entered into our database when we received it at some point from you; when you registered yourself or your children, made a donation, became a member, or were baptized.

Your full profile is only viewable by you and our church staff that have access to the database. It is not posted online. It is stored on Planning Center’s servers, and sent to devices via the cloud using encrypted technology. Click here for more on Planning Centers Security and how they store your information.
