and 'Ready to Serve.'

No spam. Just a heads-up when we launch.
Built for Planning Center
Already using PCO? EquipFlow connects with your people, groups, and teams so training fits right into your existing system — no double entry, no extra lists to manage.
People
Sync saved lists to auto-enroll the right people
Groups
Assign courses to small groups and communities
Services
Train worship teams and volunteers by team
Planning Center WorkflowsTrain people inside the workflows you already use.
When someone enters a step in a Planning Center Workflow, EquipFlow automatically assigns them the right course. No manual intervention, no separate list to manage.
And when they finish? EquipFlow writes back to Planning Center and advances their workflow card. The whole loop closes itself.
Person enters a workflow step in PC
Your existing Workflows keep running exactly as before — EquipFlow just listens.
EquipFlow assigns the course automatically
Map a workflow step to a course once. EquipFlow handles every new assignment on its own.
Completion writes back to Planning Center
When the course is done, EquipFlow advances the workflow card and updates custom fields on the person record — automatically.
People records stay current — automatically
Configure any course to stamp a custom field on a person's Planning Center record when they complete it — a completion date, a status like "New Member Class Done," or any value you choose. Pick an existing field or create a new one directly from EquipFlow without ever leaving the app.
New member classes
Replace a 4-email manual onboarding sequence with a single Planning Center Workflow step. New members get your church's story, beliefs, and next steps automatically as they move through your welcome workflow.
Volunteer onboarding
Every new kids' ministry volunteer, sound tech, or greeter gets background check training, safety policy, and role-specific video assigned the moment their onboarding step kicks off.
Discipleship paths
Attach a 3-lesson leadership primer to your small-group leader application. Elder development, mission trip prep, any workflow step — if it lives in PCO, EquipFlow can train for it.

Got polished video content your church has already produced? Use it. Prefer to pull from YouTube, Vimeo, or anywhere online? Do that instead. EquipFlow is the platform — what goes in it is entirely up to you.
Your own videos
Upload or embed video you've already produced — sermons, trainings, walkthroughs, anything.
YouTube & Vimeo
Link any public video directly. No upload, no re-hosting, no extra cost.
Written lessons
Rich text guides written in your church's own voice — not someone else's script.
PDFs & documents
Attach handbooks, worksheets, or reference docs alongside any lesson.
Quizzes
Add multiple-choice questions to check for understanding after any lesson.
Acknowledgements
Have learners confirm they've read or agreed to something before moving on.
Built for the people taking the courses, too.
Training only works if people actually do it. EquipFlow makes the learner experience simple enough that volunteers won't dread it.
No extra login
Sign in with Planning Center — the account your volunteers already have. No new password, no new app to register for.
Familiar culture
Content written by your church, in your church's voice. Learners hear from leaders they know — not generic curriculum they'll tune out.

Frequently compared
Quick answers for churches evaluating EquipFlow alongside ServeHQ or MxU.
How is EquipFlow different from ServeHQ? +
ServeHQ is a solid general-purpose church training tool with a PCO People import. EquipFlow goes deeper: we write back to Planning Center Workflows, advance workflow cards on course completion, and stamp custom fields on person records automatically. If you live in PCO Workflows, that difference will save you hours every week.
How is EquipFlow different from MxU? +
MxU is great if you want their worship-and-tech-specific content library. If your church produces its own training content — sermons, ministry-specific walkthroughs, leadership development — you're paying for a content library you won't use. EquipFlow is BYO-content-first: unlimited learners, unlimited courses, and deep PCO integration at roughly half the price.
What about cost? +
EquipFlow Equip is $59/mo. MxU Platform is $99/mo annual or $159/mo quarterly. MxU + Content is $129–$189/mo. ServeHQ starts lower but caps active users on lower tiers. For a mid-size church with existing content, Equip is the lowest total cost of ownership.
