How it works
From connection to outreach in three steps
Connect Planning Center
Securely link the Planning Center account you already use. It takes a few clicks — no spreadsheets, no setup project.
Shepherd scores engagement
It reads attendance and activity, scores every member, and quietly flags the people who are starting to drift.
Your team gets a list
A prioritized outreach list shows who to reach first — each with a ready-to-send email or text draft.

Built for a church's trust
Your members' information stays yours.
Shepherd connects securely to Planning Center and Gmail and reads only what it needs — your member directory and attendance — to find who's drifting. Member data stays private to your church, isolated from every other church, and you can disconnect and remove it at any time.

Questions

Yes. Your data is isolated to your church, never shared with other churches, and stored securely. You can disconnect Planning Center or Gmail and remove your data at any time.
Does Shepherd send emails automatically?+
No. Shepherd prepares drafts in your own Gmail. Your team reviews and sends every message — nothing is ever sent without you.
