What Relay does
No spreadsheets. No paper cards. No one falling through the cracks after the altar call.
Pre-registered attendees get PR badges. Walk-ins get WI badges. Scan any badge and the profile loads instantly.
Baptized, filled with the Spirit, Bible study request — tap the moment it happens. Saves to Planning Center immediately.
Forces a PCO search before creating new records. Prevents the duplicate problem that plagues event check-in.
Every milestone holder gets assigned to a volunteer. Contact attempts logged. Status tracked from Unassigned to Completed.
Out-of-area attendees get routed to their nearest campus. Assignment syncs directly to Planning Center's primary_campus field.
Every assignment, status change, and contact attempt is permanently logged with attribution. Nothing gets lost or quietly changed.
How it works
Relay is designed for the chaos of a live outdoor event. Fast, mobile-first, and adaptive when the line is twenty people deep.
Scan or register
Pre-registered attendees scan their PR badge. Walk-ins get a WI badge and are registered in under 30 seconds.
Record milestones
One tap for baptism, Holy Ghost, or Bible study. Saves directly to Planning Center with your name attached.
Sync follow-ups
After the event, leadership assigns every milestone holder to a volunteer. Household info and contact details pulled from PCO.
Close the loop
Volunteers log every call, text, and visit. Out-of-area attendees get routed to their nearest campus automatically.

What is Planning Center? Planning Center Online (PCO) is the church management platform used by thousands of congregations to track people, groups, and giving. Relay integrates directly with PCO People so every check-in, milestone, and follow-up flows into the database your team already uses — no double entry, no exports.
Built in the open. Free to deploy. Made for churches that take people seriously.
