Planning Center Calendar vs. Text In Church

Planning Center Calendar is a communication tool to help you manage your events schedule, reserve rooms, and track resources. With Planning Center Calendar, you can categorize events with descriptive tags, book rooms and resources and make those reservations visible to your team, set up event approval requests to mitigate miscommunications or double-bookings, and publish your calendar where congregants can see events and sign up.

Text In Church is the church communication platform built to help you connect with people beyond Sunday mornings. 2-way texting, email, automated workflows, and the Plan A Visit feature give your team everything needed to follow up with guests, re-engage members, and make sure nobody slips through the cracks. Whether you're welcoming a first-time visitor or checking in on someone who's been missing, Text In Church makes it easy to reach the right person at the right time, so every person in your community feels known, noticed, and loved.
