Common questions

Yes. Urim connects directly to your existing Planning Center account using OAuth. You'll need an active PCO subscription with at least the People app enabled.

Urim works with PCO People, Calendar, and Groups. If you don't have all three, the corresponding tabs will simply show empty or limited data — everything else works normally.

Under 30 seconds. Click "Get started," sign in with your Planning Center account, approve the permissions, and your dashboard is ready. No configuration, no data imports.

Yes. Each staff member signs in with their own Planning Center credentials. There's no user management on our end — anyone with a PCO login for your organization can access the dashboard.

Your subscription gives everyone in your organization access to Urim. What each person can actually see is determined entirely by their individual Planning Center permissions — Urim fetches data using each user's own PCO credentials. If someone can't see certain data in PCO, they won't see it in Urim either.

Never. Urim is completely read-only. We only read your data to display it in the dashboard. We cannot and do not create, edit, or delete anything in your PCO account.

Individual member records — names, emails, phone numbers — are never stored by us. They are fetched live from Planning Center and only exist in your session. We do store daily aggregated snapshots (e.g., total member count, group count, gender and age breakdowns) in our database to power the historical trend charts. These snapshots are aggregate statistics only — no personally identifiable information about any individual congregation member is stored.

We use Planning Center's official OAuth 2.0 flow. We store a short-lived access token in a secure, encrypted session cookie — never your PCO password.

We request read-only access to your Planning Center account, including People, Groups, Calendar, Registrations, Check-ins, and more. We never write to your account. You can revoke access at any time from your Planning Center account under Connected Apps.

Pricing is based on your church's active member count in Planning Center. Tiers: Starter (under 500) — $49/mo; Growth (500–1,999) — $99/mo; Community (2,000–9,999) — $199/mo; Network (10,000+) — $299/mo.

If you've moved to a new tier, you'll see a notification in your dashboard and the plan will update at your next billing date — no surprise mid-cycle charges.

Custom is for organizations that need a tailored dashboard beyond the standard features — custom tabs, org-specific data views, and bespoke integrations. Pricing is by arrangement. Contact hello@urim.church to get started.

Yes. Cancel at any time with no contracts or cancellation fees. You keep access through the end of your current billing period.

We want Urim to be accessible to churches of all sizes. If pricing is a barrier, reach out at hello@urim.church and we'll work something out.

When you log in, Urim automatically extracts the primary colors from your church's Planning Center logo and applies them throughout the dashboard. No configuration needed.

If your PCO account has multiple campuses, a campus selector appears in the sidebar. Selecting a campus filters the People, Events, Groups, and trend charts to show only data from that location.

Member directories, events, and groups are fetched live from Planning Center on every page load. Summary statistics (active member count, group count) and trend charts are served from daily snapshots stored in our database, so they reflect yesterday's numbers at most. Some live responses are briefly cached in your browser (1–5 minutes) so navigating between tabs feels instant.
