Voice Teacher Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Online Worship Service Planning " November 13, 2019 4.0 Worshipplanning.com is a straight forward and functional website. It gets the job done at a fraction of the cost of its competitors. Pros The browser-based software is easy to use and it covers all the necessary basics needed to create and plan a worship service. The online scheduler is very useful, the file-hosting is great and the integration with CCLI and other popular worship software programs is really well done. Cons The user interface could use some work. There is a bit of a learning curve as administrators but it is easy enough to use for the average user. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands November 14, 2019 Hi Alexis, Thank you for the review! You'll be happy to hear we have a major update, including a new user interface, that is live for new sign-ups, and being rolled out over the next few months to existing accounts. If your organization is interested in using the new update sooner than currently scheduled, feel free to contact me or our support team. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. -tom Eric M. Pastor Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for Planning the Weekly Worship Services" May 18, 2019 5.0 Pros There are several features we like as a team. Our Pastor can go into the system and add his message series, title, text several weeks in advance. The planners then can also login and add members of the worship team, tech team and connections team. The planner can see when a team member accepts their role for that week. Cons Wish there was more flexibility with the elements portion of the service. Each part of the service uses different people and different mics. There is no way to communicate things like the announcement person will be using mic #? or color ?. There is no way to chart that on the schedule so that everyone of the team knows, what and where. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands May 21, 2019 Hi Pastor May. Thank you so much for the great feedback! You may be interested to know that using the "role notes" for each element, you can put specific notes for specific roles, people, or teams (like which mic they are to use or where they are to stand). Perhaps that feature can allow you to communicate the exact info you need the singers and musicians to have. Anyway, thanks again for the review! Tim M. Software Engineer Civic & Social Organization Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Worship Planning is a great company with a useful product that could use an update" June 22, 2018 3.0 Worship planning helps our team coordinate its schedule and get on the same page ahead of our practices. Pros Worship planning does a good job of the basic functionality of coordinating the schedule of our team. Cons Worship planning has pretty basic functionality compared to its competitors and could use a modern design refresh. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands June 25, 2018 We sincerely appreciate the feedback, Tim. It truly helps us improve! In the 15 years we've been around, our internal development motto has been "be the best at the basics". In other words, while there are many solutions out there with lots of bells and whistles, we feel those often come at the expense of making things complicated and expensive. That said, we've worked hard to keep up with what the majority of users ask for...things like text notifications, self-signups, song arrangement management, and a growing list of integrations with other cloud-based software. Regarding the design looking a little aged, we agree. We are actually in the midst of a user interface redesign. Thankfully, the way we've coded the software allows us to do a redesign without doing a complete rewrite. Thanks again, Tim, for your honest feedback. I'm more than happy to chat with you further about any of these, or other items. Just give us a call at 877-399-3342 and ask for Tom. VR Verified Reviewer Parts General Manager Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worship Planning is a solid program for team management" December 22, 2017 4.0 Makes team management easy Pros I like that the user interface (from the user side) is simple and easy to use. I've been using it for about 4 years now. Cons The admin side is quite confusing in my opinion. Especially switching from user to admin. It doesn't work very well. I also don't like that you cannot create a spotify playlist via the admin side. It will create a sort of playlist, but it doesn't direct you to spotify, it only opens a dialogue box that you can list from. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands December 26, 2017 Thanks so much for taking time to post the great feedback! It sounds like you've identified a few places we need figure out how to make smoother for you. I believe some of the items you mentioned are possible to do, though we may need to improve how it is implemented if someone with your 4+ years experience is still getting hung up with it. We'd be happy to have a call to discuss, if you're interested. Feel free to give us a call at 877.399.3342 after the holidays, and we'll help you out and figure out how we can improve. AS Anna S. Worship Architect Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This website is a lifesaver for organization and communication between our staff and volunteers. " December 28, 2017 5.0 Organization, communication, planning Pros We use Worshipplanner.com daily to send emails to volunteers, upload files for our worship team, schedule volunteers and create detailed services. It's connection to Songselect is very useful as we choose music, as is it's ability to make detailed notes for everyone involved in Sunday morning. The unlimited storage is also a definite plus for us. Cons There are really very few issues we have come into with this website. I think the versatility of copying/linking services could be somewhat improved but overall there is not much to complain about! Review Source Response from Ministry Brands December 29, 2017 Thanks for the feedback, Anna! We're especially excited to hear that the SongSelect integration is helpful! Keep an eye out for more similar integrations! It's good to know that copying/linking services could be a little smoother for you. We'll take a look at how we can improve that area. YO Yabo O. Musician Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Its the administrative staff I never had that frees me up to create and focus on worship" December 31, 2017 5.0 Pros It is simple as you want it to be and deep as you want it to be. In the short term and for the quick and easy it can put together a program in minutes. In the long term as you keep using it and the repertoire grows, it is fast and doesn't miss any administrative events. I depend on it and I haven't missed a beat. As a leader, it puts the onus on the team to follow through on assignments that and cover for subs when called for. As a communication tool I use it to organize any kind of concert as the timeline is flawless in sticking to a timeclock. So good is its coverage that I often use it in broadcast TV situations along with Pro Presenter. Cons It competes and exceeds performance of other software packages, but doesn't have the exposure and marketing advertising that others may have because the company puts its resources into the software. That would be a "con" to some who are interested in having marketing rule their brand. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands January 2, 2018 Wow! Thank you so much for the great review, Yabo! VR Verified Reviewer Owner Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Solid, reliable and easy to use" December 22, 2017 5.0 Sometimes on mobile the lyrics for a song can be cut off. But that's not something we use often anyway. Pros We've been using WorshipPlanning.com for years, and it has never let us down. It does just what we need without being bloated with stuff we don't need. Every Sunday is organized, and everyone can see what is going on. We have a rotation of disparate music leaders, so having visibility into what has been played recently was important to us. Everyone is now literally on the same page! There are more features available than we use because we are so small. But I can see that there is a lot of power available if we needed it. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands December 26, 2017 Thank you for the feedback! We try to keep the more advanced features out of the way when you only need the basic functionality. VR Verified Reviewer School Psychologist Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "WorshipPlanning.com makes scheduling teams so simple!" January 30, 2018 5.0 Team members have expressed that the software can be confusing to use. There are many great functions that take some time to figure out. Pros The ability to create and manage teams allows ministry planning effortless. Team members can easily indicate their preferences and availability. The ability to import from sites like SongSelect makes it all very worthwhile! Review Source Response from Ministry Brands January 30, 2018 Thank you for the great feedback! We are always striving to make the software easier to use, especially for volunteers. If you or they have any suggestions, we'd love to hear them. Feel free to contact us directly via our support center (we welcome phone calls) to share your ideas. WG William G. Director of Worship Religious Institutions Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Worshipplanning.com has been a great tool for us in planning worship and related tasks." November 28, 2017 4.0 Great planning tool, great way to distribute information across many different ministries and people. Pros It's intuitive, it's easy to learn and use, response to feedback and enhancement has been superb, and it's expandable for use by many different types of ministries. We not only use it for worship planning, but we use it for kids and student ministry as well, and also as a type of database for storing files and other info in logical ways, and making that info available to others. Cons Like any software, I have several small nits - small nit-picky things that I'd change in the way that it behaves, or enhancements that might make a common task for me more easily accomplished. But overall, I'm very happy with it. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands December 22, 2017 Thank you for the great feedback, William. BJ Barry J. Minister of Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Overall the product is very useful and provides our music ministry with what we need. " December 21, 2017 4.0 Pros No paper for our rehearsals! Everything is centralized! Everything is consistent! Love the ability to schedule our Praise Team members for different Sunday's they're assigned to sing! Love the ability that allows them to add another person on their team when they're NOT available or something comes up! Love the song books; music library!!! Cons Not being able to listen to the music and read the lyrics is a big issue! I am hoping this is changed in an upcoming version. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands December 22, 2017 Thank you for the feedback, Barry! WorshipPlanning.com does allow you and your team to view lyrics and listen to music if that information has been added to the song, so we'll connect with you about where you might be having trouble. Dany H. Pastor Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great way to organize and schedule your services" April 6, 2018 4.0 Pros Sometimes it seems like music and worship at the church level is like herding cats. WorshipPlanning helps you get control of the chaos which allows you more time to focus on the end product. Cons I think some others might have also mentioned the challenges in getting some of our older members to take advantage of all that WorshipPlanning can do. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands April 10, 2018 Thank you for the review, Danny! NF Nancy F. Minister of Music Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very user friendly. My music ministry members would now be lost without it!" December 21, 2017 5.0 The ability for my music team to always know what it going on and what is coming up. Pros The ability to post charts and recordings for my volunteers and the ability to communicate with them through your website Cons it is a little pricey. Unfortunately, it is a little hard to understand for our older, less tech-savvy volunteers. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands December 22, 2017 Nancy, thank you so much for the feedback! We are always open to ideas on how to make the site easier for \_everyone\_ to use. Feel free to share any suggestions with us directly. VR Verified Reviewer Student Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Affordable and Functional " July 19, 2019 4.0 Good experience overall. No issues. No outages. Consistently works with no surprises. Pros The price point is great. It has pretty much all the bells and whistles you need in a service planning website. Organize, schedule, plan and provide resources all in one spot. Very well done. Cons The user interface is clunky and ugly. IT does everything you need it to it just isn't as pretty as some of its competitors. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Voice Teacher Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Not the Best Service Planning Software, but not Terrible" April 30, 2019 4.0 Comparatively, it's just not as good as Planning Center Online. It's not terrible, but it's also just not as intuitive. I think especially if you've been using the other and then switch to this, there's a learning curve. Pros I like that our worship leader is able to attach many file types to the songs. Cons It's just not the most intuitive software to use. Review Source JM Jenn M. Church Secretary Religious Institutions Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Confusing and not intuitive" October 25, 2019 2.0 If it were my decision, we would not have purchased and set up an account with Worship Planning. It's just one more thing. Another silo. When everything could be done far easier using excel and email and PDFs of songs sheets. Valiant effort, WorshipPlanning. I do sincerely hope that yall can find a nice groove so you can grow your business and help churches. Pros I like that links to songs can be added to the worship service liturgy, so worship team members can access the version of the song being sung. Cons Unfortunately - The site is difficult to navigate, is not at all intuitive, scheduling groups or individuals is confusing, going between 5 different areas of the website to get people scheduled is time consuming and tedious. Everything that can be done in WorshipPlanning can now , for the most part, be done in CCBm, where we already have schedules and groups set up.

" December 21, 2017 4.0 Excellent tool for planning worship services and communicating with the team! Pros I like the way the software helps me to manage my teams and communicate assignments. I also like the way it works at a glance to see what my plan is for a given week. It also allows me to import songs from SongSelect and print out lyrics or highlights of the plan for other participants. Cons I haven't found very many negatives at this stage. Perhaps it would be nice to have additional options for communication with the team. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands December 22, 2017 Thank you so much for the feedback! JC Jason C. Worship Pastor Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I have been using worshipplanning.com for a couple of years to help me plan worship." November 29, 2017 5.0 I am able to save a lot of time in the worship planning process. I am currently only using the service planning page and scheduling. Pros This software is really easy to use. I have a small team at my church and am able to get the plan entered and send it out in a very timely manner. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands December 22, 2017 Thank you so much for the review, Jason! We try to keep a "no church/ministry too small" philosophy, and are thrilled to hear it is helpful to your small team. TB Trevor B. Pastor Religious Institutions Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Great tool for helping plan & organize worship service" March 3, 2020 5.0 Very limited, but overall very positive. I would definitely consider in the future. Pros I enjoyed the accessibility of the software to plan and organize our weekly services. It allows the various people involved in our services to access the order of service/notes of the components of our service Cons This was a great tool. I enjoyed it a lot. However, being a smaller church, It just wasn't necessary for us at this time. We ended up canceling to save money. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands March 10, 2020 Thanks for the great feedback, Trevor! We continue to add functionality that we hope is good for all sizes of churches. Looking forward to perhaps being able to serve your church in the future! GS Gibeth S. assistant Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "When planning is key!" March 12, 2018 5.0 Pros My church's worship team has actually been using this for quite some time. The dance ministry was just integrated to this app, and wow has it made a difference! To be able to see the layout of when everything is instead of waiting for "cues" has made Sunday's so much easier! We are able to program how many people will be on that altar, the song list and order, and email everyone. Cons There are very few problems that we have had. Overall, there is not much to complain about! I wish we would have used this sooner. Review Source Response from Ministry Brands March 13, 2018 Thank you so much for the great feedback, Gibeth! It's great to hear how the app is able to help your dance ministry get on the same page. TV Theresa V. Used the software for: ### "Excellent product, excellent value!" February 10, 2017 5.0 worshipplanning.com is an excellent product for organizing and planning your worship flow. It has an intuitive interface and outstanding features and functionality. Great value that starts with a free trial! Pros ease of use and features Review Source Similar Products Featured
