Planning Center Integration

The church website built for Planning Center.

Your team already runs the church in PCO. Your website should run on it too — events, sermons, giving, and Church Center working together automatically, on a site designed to turn online visitors into Sunday guests.

Starting at $295/month · Integration included · No long-term contract

Why This Matters

PCO runs your church. It should run your website.

Around 75,000 churches use Planning Center — and most of their websites don't talk to it at all.

Stop updating events twice

Most churches maintain events in PCO and again on their website — until the website version quietly goes stale. Sync kills the double entry and the stale calendar.

Church Center isn't a website

Church Center is great for members. But guests find you on Google, not in an app. Your website is the front door; PCO is the engine behind it.

Giving without friction

PCO Giving handles the transaction. Your website's job is getting a first-time donor to start it — clear page, fewer clicks, mobile-first.

Sermons that stay current

An out-of-date sermon page signals an inactive church. A synced archive updates itself every week.

The Integration

What a church website with Planning Center integration includes

Publish in Planning Center. Your website keeps up.

Events & calendar

Synced from PCO Calendar — publish once in Planning Center, it appears on your site

Church Center

Registrations, groups, and check-ins embedded right in your pages — no bouncing visitors to a separate app

Online giving

PCO Giving wired into a giving page designed for first-time donors

Sermons

Sermon archive that stays current — organized by series, speaker, and date

Plan a Visit

Visit forms get real follow-up — instant confirmation, warm sequences, and staff tasks via Second Sunday (PCO People sync coming soon)

Every church's PCO setup is different — on our first call we'll map exactly which products you use and what the integration looks like for your site.

Built by people who use PCO every week

White Oak Media is run by a working pastor and production director. We schedule volunteers, publish events, and run services in Planning Center ourselves — so the integration decisions on your site come from inside church operations, not from an agency reading API docs for the first time.

How We Compare

White Oak vs. PCO website builders

If you're weighing a Planning Center website, here's the honest landscape.

The Church Co, Faithmade & other PCO site builders

Template-based platforms with Planning Center sync built in. Quick to launch, but your church can end up on the same template as everyone else, and design flexibility is limited.

Display.Church, PCOWidget & other embed tools

Handy for adding a Planning Center calendar or group list to a site you already have. They solve embedding — not custom design, SEO, or turning first-time searchers into Sunday guests.

White Oak Media

A fully custom website — designed around your church, not a template — with the same Planning Center sync running underneath: events, giving, sermons, and Church Center. Built and run by a working pastor and production director who use PCO every week, all-inclusive from $295/month with no separate integration fee.

Prefer a self-serve builder? We have one of those too. Church Studio is our own self-serve church site at $39/month — the fast, low-cost entry point before you step up to a full custom build.

FAQ

Common questions

Do we keep using Planning Center the way we do now?

Yes — that's the point. Your team keeps working in PCO exactly as they do today. The website reads from Planning Center, so publishing an event or sermon in PCO updates the site automatically.

What's the difference between this and just using Church Center?

Church Center is a member app, not a public website. It isn't built to rank on Google, tell your story to first-time visitors, or convert searchers into Sunday guests. We build the public-facing site and embed the Church Center features your congregation already uses — best of both.

Which Planning Center products do you integrate?

Most commonly Calendar (events), Giving, Church Center (registrations, groups, check-ins), and People (visitor follow-up workflows). If your church uses a product we haven't listed, ask — we work in PCO every week.

How much does a Planning Center–integrated website cost?

A fully custom build is $295/month, all-inclusive — custom design, build, hosting, domain, maintenance, and support. PCO integration isn't an upsell; it's how we build church sites. If you're not ready for a full custom build, Church Studio is our self-serve option at $39/month — the entry point on our ladder before you step up to a custom site.

Can you show us a live example?

Yes — book a free call and we'll walk you through live client sites with PCO sync running, including what the editing workflow looks like for the church staff.
