This past Sunday (3/26) we introduced Church Center, a protected platform for members and attenders to connect with one another, sign up for events, discover opportunities to serve, and more! You can view Church Center either on the web or on the mobile app. Church Center is part of a suite of tools within Planning Center Online (PCO), Blacknall's new church management system that has replaced Church Community Builder (CCB).
We would love for everyone to join the online church directory in Church Center. And don't forget to add your picture! If you are a regular member or attender, you should already have permission to view the directory and do not need to register. (Click “Read more” to see instructions on how to access the directory.)
The PNC Would Love One Minute of Your Time
The Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) is now receiving applications for the Senior Pastor position and we appreciate how you have already helped to get the word out. As you have prayed and brainstormed about possible candidates, is there anyone that you have contacted? Is there anyone who has popped into your mind as a possible candidate that you haven’t yet contacted? In either case, would you let us know who came to mind? You can use this short form, which will take less than one minute to complete.
