What it is

Ministry Planner is a web platform for church planning and administration, combining service planning, volunteer scheduling, team chat, online giving, and a church website. Its planning tools connect a teaching calendar and series library with service plans and personalized mobile run sheets. Volunteers can accept or decline assignments through secure RSVP links without creating an account or installing an app. Listed integrations include two-way sync with Planning Center, sync with Church Community Builder, Google Calendar, and Google Drive. A free tools option allows one standalone tool per church account, with limits that vary by tool; paid plans start at $49.00 per month, and a 30-day trial is listed. Online giving has no monthly fee, but each gift incurs a 0.5% Ministry Planner charge plus Stripe processing fees. The company says church data is encrypted in transit and at rest, churches can export it at any time, and it is not sold or shared. AI features include an assistant, smart imports, and engagement predictions; data is stated not to train models. A congregation app is listed as coming soon.
