Ready for Weekend Services?
Planning worship is not easy, but there is a better way – Planning
Chances are you already have a process for planning your services. Planning adds some power to your process, helping you organize and communicate better while allowing you to focus on what's important in your ministry.
How does it work?
- Plan your service details with an easy-to-use worship flow editor. Add or import song details, upload files, and add notes for yourself or your team.
- Schedule and Notify team members one week at a time or for multiple months. Team members are notified via email, text, and even Facebook. They can "accept" or "decline", and also access the service details you've set.
- Update the worship flow and find substitutes to serve as needed. Since the plans are centrally stored in the cloud, you and your team can securely access them from anywhere, instantly.
You can relax with Planning because everyone is on the same page!
“Planning has revolutionized the way I organize and distribute resources, plan worship, and manage teams. I wish I had a tool like this for the first years of my ministry – life would have been much easier!” - Kenny L.
Smart Features for All Plans.
Planning's easy-to-use tools and intuitive functionality make quick work of organizing, planning, and scheduling your next service, your next series, or even the upcoming year! All features are included in every subscription plan.
Worship Flow Editor
The plans for this Sunday are vital to you and your team. You need a tool that lets you easily specify every detail, and lets your team get to that information.
Worshipplanning's intuitive drag-and-drop worship flow editor allows you to plan the fine details, or just a general set list. Click "read more" to see how you really need more than a simple text editor to effectively plan your worship service.
People & Scheduling
No doubt, volunteers are the key ingredient to success on Sunday mornings. Keep everyone on the same page with our advanced scheduling tool.
Schedule individuals one at a time or as entire teams—based on availability and qualifications—with a single drag-and-drop action. Once scheduled, volunteers are notified via email, text, or even Facebook to respond.

Virtual Sheet Music
Replace the sheet music mess of paper and binders with OnSong for your iPad, iPhone, or iPod. By integrating your OnSong app with Planning, you can import the song files you need in just a few seconds.
OnSong is the gold standard in virtual sheet music apps. Use it to transpose, annotate, rehearse, and perform your music. It even works with AirTurn wireless foot pedals to flip your vitual pages. Sounds magical? It is!
Presentation Options
It is easy to go from worship flow to slides with a couple options at your disposal. Our integration with Proclaim Church Presentation Software makes building your presentation a snap. Or, if you use another program, slides can be centrally stored with each song in your library, then easily downloaded by your tech team to merge together.
Our integration with Proclaim makes building slides easier than ever. Proclaim will even recognize any song mapping you've set, and build your slides accordingly. Proclaim has created a brief demonstration of how easy it is.
Other Integrations
By integrating with other systems, you get functionality that is both deep and wide. Our list of systems with which Planning integrates is constantly growing. And we always welcome new integration requests!

"This single spot where all of Sunday morning worship planning happens is a tool we wouldn't want to do without. Worship Leaders (volunteers) can enter their songs from home. The pastors can enter their sermon themes and scripture readings. The support volunteers can be easily scheduled... all in one space." - Judy vK.

“The ability to schedule my team is great. Especially since we have 5 different teams with many members. Also, the songs library with the stats on when I've played a song last is a lifesaver.” - Greg H.
