We are so thankful for the time and energy and love you put into C3Kids ministry! Here are some basics to get you started in using the scheduling program Planning Center that we use here at C3. Thank you again for pouring your hearts out to help our Kids Grow in the Knowledge of God and Bear Fruit.
Basics for Planning Center
We use Planning Center to orchestrate all of the Volunteers at C3. Here are the basic steps to get started in the App.
Step One - Logging In
- Download the services app and log in. Tap on the bottom left icon titled "Schedule", that will take you to the page that says "My Schedule".
- You will see the services that you have been scheduled to serve, you can accept or decline from this page or from your email/texts.
Step Two - Curriculum
- Tap on the date, from here you should be on that date's page - you can look at who all is serving, the times of the services, and any curriculum I have uploaded.
- Tap on “Files” - here you will find the curriculum that I have uploaded. You will only have access to these IF you are on the schedule.
Step Three - Profile
- Now tap on the top right circle with your initials in it, this will take you to your Planning Center profile.
- If you tap the “Edit” button in the top right corner you can make edits to you profile including your name, phone number, email, address, and important dates
Step Four - Teams
- Look at the button that says “Teams".
- If you have told me of certain classrooms you prefer to serve in I do my best to schedule you in those classrooms, but the way I remember is by the teams I have put in your profile.
- Tap on “Teams” - You will see the label “C3 Kids” and a list of teams you are on, which are the classrooms you are willing to serve in. You do not have the ability to change these teams, but if you would like for me to edit them then please send me an email.
Step Five - Scheduling Preferences
- Now on that same page, if you look at the bottom you can see “Scheduling Preferences”, this is something you can edit. You can choose how often and on what weeks you would prefer to be scheduled. I will see this when I go to schedule and take it into account.
Step Six - Blockout Dates
- Go back to your profile page and go to “Blockouts”. Use this to add blockouts to any Sundays you are unavailable to serve!
