Sermons are a central part of your church service, and we’re thrilled to announce a highly requested feature that will enhance how people interact with your sermons.
You can now create sermon notes for your congregation to follow along with!
With sermon notes, congregants can engage more deeply with your messages through customizable note-taking—right inside Church Center.
See how it works!
Build outlines in Publishing, experience them in Church Center
Our new sermon notes feature allows Publishing admins to create structured note outlines with interactive fill-in-the-blank sections. People can then view those outlines through the Church Center mobile app, where they can follow along, take notes, and actively participate in the sermon experience.
These are the key features for an engaging and personalized sermon experience.
Customizable sermon note outlines
Design and structure sermon notes to perfectly match each message’s content.
Interactive fill-in-the-blanks
Create engaging sections where congregants can follow along with the message.
Self-paced notetaking
Alongside filling in the blanks, congregants can also write their own notes when hearing a message. They can even reveal answers at their own pace in case they miss something.
Easy exporting
People can easily email their notes to themselves or share them to other apps on their devices.
Getting started with sermon notes
Sermon notes is available in beta for any sermons Publishing plan.
If you're already using our sermons feature, just head over to your channel settings to enable notes. From there, Publishing admins will see a new "Sermon notes" tab where they can activate notes for individual sermons.
Whether you're live streaming, offering on-demand video, sharing audio, or publishing podcasts, sermon notes can be seamlessly integrated into your existing sermon delivery methods.
The future of sermon notes
Media in Planning Center is only getting better! Think of this sermon notes release as a teaser with the full picture still to come.
We’re going to keep working on things behind the scenes, implementing your feedback, and improving the functionality with even more features.
Stay tuned for more!
