A multi-site church in Canada running a prayer and pastoral note log
The church
A two-campus church in Canada of about 7,200 people, with Planning Center connected. Eight months on CareNote.
What they set out to do
Give campus pastors somewhere to write down pastoral care that is not their own inbox.
How it works now
Updates and prayer requests carry almost the whole record here. A pastor logs what happened against the person: the conversation, the request, the visit, the call. Sixteen groups organize the congregation across two campuses, and milestones mark the arcs that run longer than a single conversation.
Planning Center keeps the people list current, and the church's own forms already flow into it, with automations standing ready to turn a submission into a care request whenever the church wants to work needs as assigned, closable jobs. For now the pastoral log is what this church needs, and it has held steadily for eight months across thousands of people.
What it takes
Four paid seats and the discipline of writing it down.

Is this your church?
If a campus pastor is carrying pastoral care for thousands of people out of their own memory and inbox, this is the smallest thing that fixes it, and the request queue is there when you want it.
