In this podcast we talk new music, ministry at Jesus Culture, the tension of artistry and ministry, and more. Enjoy! Click to Listen Show Sponsor: Planning Center When I think of essentials for worship ministry, not many compare to Planning Center. It’s a tool I use on a daily basis and works around the clock. Planning Center is all-in-one solution for scheduling our teams, coordinating schedules, communicating about weekend details, and getting responses from band members.  Maybe many of you use Planning Center to schedule your teams and organize your services. While that’s fantastic, it just scratches the surface of what PCO can do for you. If you’re looking to advance to Planning Center Ninja status, you need to use it as full church management software system. Planning Center provides Check-ins for your kids ministry, an online giving system, managing people and small groups, event registrations, resources, music stand, and a mobile app for your congregation. Crazy right? 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.
