See the gaps early
Open the week with volunteer needs, overdue follow-ups, and work waiting for a decision.

One place to checkStart the week with priorities, owners, and next actions.
Built around your workflowBegin with one real handoff your team needs to fix.
A calmer church week
Less chasing. Fewer dropped handoffs.
Your team should not need five tabs, two spreadsheets, and somebody’s memory to know what still needs to happen.
Know who owns it
Give every next action an owner, due date, status, and enough context to move.
Keep the tools people know
Use Pews beside Planning Center and your current systems. Replace nothing on day one.
Follow-through that keeps the person in view
From “someone should” to “Sarah has it.”
Pews keeps the person, the reason, the owner, and the next step together—so a care request or guest follow-up does not become another forgotten note.

First accessInvitations go out in the order churches fit the first workflows.

Your current tools
Planning Center stays in place. Pews connects to selected Planning Center information when your account and setup allow.
Before anything starts
Scope, timing, data access, any pricing, and exit terms are agreed with your church before real use begins.
Not included yet
Full Planning Center replacement, native worship planning, check-in hardware, donation processing, accounting, mass messaging, broad migration, or a finished member app.
Built by someone who knows the church week. Petie Clark spent years as a worship pastor before moving into technology. Pews starts with the handoffs church teams feel every week—not a checklist of software modules.
Register for early access
Fix one weekly handoff first.
Early access starts with one problem your team already feels. If Pews cannot make that workflow clearer, it has not earned a larger role.
Best for churches already using Planning Center plus spreadsheets, forms, inboxes, or task tools.
Choose one church-side owner and one workflow to improve.
Keep control of your source records and current systems.
Get on the early-access list
Tell us about your current tools and where follow-through breaks down. We will reach out as early-access spots open for churches like yours.
Register for early accessBy submitting, you ask Pews to contact you about early access. See the privacy notice. Product previews use sample data and illustrate product direction; they are not customer results or a promise that every connection is production-ready.
Questions
What churches usually ask first.
Is Pews replacing Planning Center?
No. Planning Center stays in place. Pews adds a weekly view and carries follow-up work beside it. Any future replacement decision would be made one workflow at a time.
Does registering for early access cost anything?
No. Registering is free and is not an order or commitment. Pricing will be shared with early-access churches before any paid use begins.
What will we need to change?
Start with one real workflow and name one church-side owner. Your existing systems and source records stay in place. The exact connection work depends on your setup and available source access.
What is not part of early access?
Full migration, donation processing, accounting, check-in hardware, native worship planning, mass messaging, and a finished member app are not included in this phase.
What happens after I register?
We review your answers. When a spot opens that fits your church, we schedule a short conversation about one workflow, confirm the boundaries, and agree on scope, timing, billing, data access, and exit terms before anything begins.
