Ministry Margin

Less administrative drag. More ministry margin.

AI meeting notes can be genuinely helpful. But a polished summary is still a draft.

Understand where the information goes. Turn off model training where possible. Keep people responsible for what the meeting meant.

Before you paste it into AI, ask whether AI belongs in the task at all.

A simple green, yellow, and red framework for pastors using AI with integrity, with privacy, judgment, and human care intact.

Directory 1.2 turns Planning Center addresses into ministry context.

People Map reveals member concentrations for church planting, community groups, and third spaces.

People Nearby starts with someone who needs care and shows which members live around them.

Planning Center already holds the information. Ministry Margin Directory gives pastors and church staff a focused iPhone app for finding a person, taking the next step, and remembering to follow up.

The story behind the app, from Jonny:

Directory is out with a 1.1.1 fix for a couple of performance issues.

[Ministry Margin @ministry_margin]

Ministry Margin for Mac 1.1 has been approved for release. It now includes a 7-day free trial, so you can connect your own Planning Center data and see how the app fits your ministry before subscribing. It should have worked this way from the start, and now it does.

[Ministry Margin @ministry_margin]

Directory 1.1 is in the App Store now. You can now have a 7 day free trial to try the app out with your own planning center data.

[Ministry Margin @ministry_margin]

Something I’m working toward for the 1.1 release of both Ministry Margin apps is adding a free trial. Thank you to everyone who has already downloaded and supported the apps without one.Going forward, I think it will be much better to let people experience the apps with their own data before subscribing. Thanks for your patience while I build this!

Ministry Margin Directory got an update today!

The biggest improvement: if your church doesn’t have any People Lists in Planning Center yet, the app now works seamlessly. It will automatically import everyone from Planning Center People and use an “Everyone” list by default.

[Ministry Margin @ministry_margin]

Today I’m excited to launch Ministry Margin for Mac.

The first native Mac client for Planning Center.

Built by a pastor to work alongside the Planning Center account your church already uses, helping church staff stay focused on people, not administration.

@LukasCantCode My precise phrase is “don’t build” or maybe “don’t build, we’re just talking”.

I know it’s funny considering these apps and this company, but I didn’t even know that https://t.co/jU0VjJcUBG existed until today. Fun to join and see opportunities where I can help and it’s cool to see the creative ways people are solving ministry friction.

Yesterday was an extremely low key launch day for Ministry Margin Directory. I did not expect any sales and yet, I still had a single subscriber to my yearly subscription. First time I've ever made something and someone bought it. Thank you.

[Ministry Margin @ministry_margin]

Connect prayer requests with the people you care for. Send an encouraging text, follow up by email, get directions to bring a meal, or save selected profiles to Apple Contacts.
Live Planning Center access requires a subscription.

@sama Just made my company’s website on sites and I think it turned out really well: https://t.co/v7RWnw2B3j

I’ve spent almost two decades serving in the local church.

I’m finally building the software I always wished existed.
