through the cracks.

Most churches lose new people somewhere between "I want to know more" and "I'm a member."
— THE PROBLEM IN ONE SENTENCE
HOW IT WORKS WITH PLANNING CENTER
Real integration. Not "connects via Zapier."
OnArk runs on a check-in-based system. When someone joins one of your classes online, OnArk doesn't ask them to create another login — it identifies them through your PCO data and writes back automatically.
01
Identify everyone through PCO
When a class attendee enters their email, OnArk checks Planning Center People. Existing person? Writes to their record. New person? Creates them with name, phone, and email — no duplicate profiles.
Save class responses to PCO Profile Fields
Every form input, assessment result, and conditional answer can flow directly to a profile field on the attendee's PCO record. Spiritual gifts results, ministry interest, contact preferences — all stored where your team already looks for them.
02
Trigger People Workflows automatically
Class completion or specific responses can add attendees to the PCO Workflow your team already uses for next-steps, volunteer onboarding, or pastoral follow-up. Your existing process keeps running — OnArk just feeds it.
03
WHAT CHURCHES USE ONARK FOR
Three jobs your team is already doing manually.
Most OnArk customers don't think of us as a "learning management system." They think of us as the system that handles a specific process they used to run on paper, in spreadsheets, or through email chains.
— JOB 01
The next-steps pathway
Replace the in-person membership class your new people miss because life got busy. Self-paced, accessible whenever they're ready, with built-in spiritual gifts assessments that trigger PCO workflows.
———
"We had more people finishing our next steps class because they could do it whenever it suited their schedule."
— JOB 02
Volunteer onboarding
Sign-in sheets, application forms, self-assessments, commitment cards — replaced with one online experience volunteers actually finish. Personality test results flow into PCO so team leaders know who they're getting.
———
"Our serve team doubled in a few months."
— JOB 03
Growth Track digitization
Take your existing in-person Growth Track structure and put it online — same content, same flow, infinitely accessible. Your assimilation team gets cleaner data without changing how they think about the process.
———
"It was so easy to build our Growth Track classes through OnArk."

We were growing but seeing people falling through the cracks and not attending in person training. We moved it online and we've seen our serve team double in a few months.

Our connections team receives a notification when someone completes the DISC and Gifts tests. They can then contact those people and help them find the next step that aligns with their results.

Before OnArk our volunteer onboarding process was a hassle for both our church volunteers and our staff. After finding OnArk the process was streamlined for our staff and made more sense to our new volunteers. The best part is the integration with our church database.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
Built by a church leader, for church leaders.
I'm Rachel. I built OnArk because when my church went all online in 2020, I needed a way to keep teaching my class — and nothing on the market understood what that actually meant for a church team. So I built one. Today OnArk is the system I still use at my own church, and I'd love to make it work for yours too.
