Right now
You already know how Monday goes.
Sunday’s connect cards are still in a box by the coffee pot. Someone has to turn that stack into clean records — typing each one in by hand, name, email, the boxes they checked, like they’re filling out the form for the visitor. That’s where the week leaks.
The welcome that bounces
One mistyped letter in an email, and the first-time guest never hears a word back.
The family split in two
“Jon” and “John” become two records — and one household quietly turns into two.
Follow-up by Wednesday
By the time the list is keyed in and double-checked, the 24-hour window is long gone.

What used to take a volunteer most of a Monday now takes one person 30 minutes. Same names, same workflows — just without the typing.

Where it starts
It starts with the card you already use.
No new forms. Nothing for your guests to download. Keep handing out the same connect card you always have — filled in by hand, dropped in the bucket on Sunday. Steeple picks it up from there.
- Works with the card your church already prints
- Front and back — contact info and prayer requests
- Your guests never know there's software behind it
How it works
You scan and approve. Steeple does the in-between.
Everything between the card and Planning Center, in three steps.
Handwriting? Handled.
No more data entry.
Volunteers photograph connect cards with any phone right after service. Names, emails, phone numbers — extracted automatically. Even the creative penmanship.
- Reads cursive, print, and everything in between
- Any smartphone — no special equipment
- A Sunday's stack cleared before Monday lunch
Every name spelled right.
Every duplicate caught.
See the original card image alongside the extracted data. One click to approve. Quick edits when needed. Duplicates get flagged before they ever reach PCO.
- Catches “Jon Smith” vs “John Smith” automatically
- Side-by-side view — card image next to extracted data
- One-click approve or edit
One click.
Straight to Planning Center.
Clean, verified data flows directly into PCO People. Workflows fire. Custom fields map. New visitors land in the right list — same day, not next week.
- Direct PCO API sync, not CSV uploads
- Maps to your PCO custom fields and workflow lists
- Optional Breeze / CCB routing if you migrate later
Think your handwriting will break it?
Bring your messiest card. Watch Steeple read the whole thing in seconds — no signup, on your time.
We’d rather build it right with one church than sell it to a hundred.
For two months, Steeple has run a real church’s Sunday cards every week — not a demo, the actual stack. We built it alongside them, in the open, fixing whatever real life surfaced.

The signal
After two months on one campus, they asked us to turn it on at their busiest location too. Churches don’t expand the things that don’t work.
Every wrinkle a real church runs into — multi-campus, staff onboarding, the messy edge cases — we’ve already met and fixed right alongside them.

Sure your church’s handwriting will break it?
Bring the card you’re certain will stump it — cursive, doodles, a phone number crammed in sideways, even a full prayer request in someone’s own hand. Steeple reads the whole thing in seconds and gets it right far more often than you’d expect. It won’t be perfect every time — so you review and tweak anything before it syncs. Still not impressed? Your first paid month’s on us.

Questions
The four we hear most.
Anything else? hello@getsteeple.com — a real person on the team answers.
Do I have to leave Planning Center?
No. PCO stays your system of record. Steeple writes into it — connect-card data, deduped, in the right lists, with workflows fired. You keep using Planning Center the way you already do.
What if the OCR misreads a name?
The review step shows the original card image next to the extracted fields. You catch and fix anything before it touches PCO. Nothing syncs without your approval.
How long does setup take?
Most churches are scanning cards within 20 minutes. The PCO integration is a single OAuth click — no IT lift, no developer involvement, no migration weekend.
Can I cancel?
Yes, any time. Your records stay in PCO — Steeple never holds your data hostage. Every name we've ever synced is already in your Planning Center.
Live · no signup · on your time
Try it with your own card.
