About Tend

Tend is a church-focused consulting service that helps ministries organize and streamline their people and discipleship processes. We provide clear, actionable systems to ensure no one slips through the cracks, making it easy for pastors to track engagement, follow up with people, and guide them on their next steps in faith.

We specialize in simplifying church data and workflows, ensuring that church leaders can focus on relationships over records. Whether it’s setting up structured follow-up systems, optimizing existing tools, or providing insights to improve discipleship, Tend helps churches build sustainable processes for long-term spiritual growth—without the overwhelm.

How it works with Planning Center

Tend does not replace Planning Center—we enhance it. Many churches struggle to use Planning Center effectively for shepherding, leaving people disconnected. We audit, organize, and optimize your Planning Center workflows, lists, and automations to ensure your church has a clear, structured system for tracking discipleship and follow-ups. We have a proven strategy to turn church data into actionable insights, making it easier for leaders to care for their people with confidence.
