Our church uses Planning Center Services to coordinate servants and volunteers serving during events such as the Sunday worship service. This helps simplify planning, communication, and avoids double-booking people.

<aside> 👉🏻 Your Services account is the same as your main church directory account in Planning Center People. If you have never logged in before, you will be asked to do so the first time you access Services.

Recommendations for everyone

• Use the Church Center mobile app: all your volunteer requests and sign-ups are available through the mobile app. Download instructions are at Church Center.
• Calendar Subscriptions: Sync your serving schedule with your personal calendar so you never forget.
• Blocking out dates when you’re not available: specify your unavailability in Services so all teams know not to schedule you. You can do it through the Church Center app.
• If you have any questions about Services, search their comprehensive online documentation which is also available by clicking on the “?” help button in the upper right corner of the Services app.
