Is there a worship team tool you can’t live without? For me, that’s Planning Center. I remember the days of excel spreadsheets and phone calls trying to nail down who was going to be available for Sunday. When we switched to Planning Center nearly 10 years ago, it changed the game for us. All of a sudden, we had an all-in-one solution for scheduling our teams, coordinating schedules, communicating about weekend details, and getting responses from band members.

A week doesn’t go by where I don’t use Planning Center.
No matter the size of your church, there’s a Planning Center option for you. Trust me. There’s no better way to schedule and communicate with your team.

Planning Center is offering a 30 day FREE trial so you can see for yourself how amazing this service is. After the 30 days are up, pricing all depends on the size of your church. I can say it’s worth the investment of every penny. It’s an easy, low cost solution that yields incredible results.

In This Episode You’ll Hear More About:

• The creation of a new instrument
• The story behind the writing of Honest Worship
• The 3 ways we have strayed from our “true north” in worship
