Planning Center People vs. Planning Center Calendar

Planning Center People is a membership database that helps you centralize information from your ministries. With Planning Center People, you can sync information from across your church into a single place. Send church-wide emails, follow up with visitors using custom workflows, organize personal details of people and their families, record background check completions, create reports based on peoples’ information and activity records, and much more.

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.
