Now in pilot with its first church

Know every person in your church by name.

“Then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.”
1 Corinthians 13:12 (ESV)

A Fully Known card for a sample person, Jordan Avery: Starting Point, Baptized and Team are complete, Group is not yet, giving is locked, and the next step is a Community Group.

Reads from Planning Center People Changes nothing in Planning Center Sign-in limited to people your church names

Why it exists

As a church grows, people get lost in the gaps. Someone comes to a first-step class, gets baptized, and then nobody notices they never found a group. The information is all there in Planning Center, but finding it means knowing where every field lives.

Fully Known puts it on one card, so a pastor or staff member can see a person at a glance and know how to care for them next. It is a friendly front door to the system your church already uses, made for the people doing the caring.

Three steps from a name to a conversation

1
Connect

Fully Known connects to your church's Planning Center People with read access. You choose which steps count and in what order.
2
Search a name

From a phone or a laptop, a staff member types a name. Adults appear as you type.
3
See the next step

One card shows the steps on record and suggests the first step with no record yet, so the follow-up is clear.

The full sample card for Jordan Avery, with six step badges, a next step, dates for each step, the last check-in, contact buttons and a household of two.

Everything a pastor needs before saying hello

Steps as badges: Steps like a first-step class, baptism, a group and a serving team light up, with a date, when Planning Center has a record of them. Your church sets the steps.
A suggested next step: The first step with no record yet, in the order your church chooses. A starting point for a conversation, based on what is recorded.
Latest check-in: Their own latest check-in, plus the most recent check-in for anyone in their household, with the event and who it was.
Their household: The people in their Planning Center household, with step badges for each adult.
One tap to reach out: Call, text or email straight from the card.
Giving, only when approved: Giving badges stay locked until your church decides to turn them on.

Sample data. Jordan Avery and family are invented.

How Fully Known handles your people's information

A church's member records deserve care. These are the commitments, stated plainly.

Read the full privacy notice

Read only. Fully Known reads from Planning Center People and never writes to it.
Cards are read live. Each card is fetched fresh when someone opens it and is not stored.
Every lookup is logged. An access log records who opened which card and when, for the admins your church chooses to review.
Named people only. Only the people on your church's list can sign in, each with a code sent to their own email.
Children are hidden. Anyone marked as a child in Planning Center is left out of search, and their card does not open.
Some fields are never read. Medical notes, birthdates, background checks, gender and grade stay in Planning Center.

Where it comes from

Every person in a church is already fully known by God. Fully Known exists to help the people who care for them know them a little better: where they have been, who they belong to, and where they might go next.

It is built by Richard Schmidt, and its first church is helping shape it. A small number of churches will join as the pilot grows.

Questions churches ask

Do we need Planning Center?

Yes. Fully Known reads from Planning Center People, which stays your church's record. Everything you change in Planning Center shows up on the next card.

Can it change anything in Planning Center?

Fully Known only reads. It sends no updates to Planning Center at all.

Who can see a card?

Only the people your church puts on its list, after signing in with a code sent to their email. Every card they open is recorded in the access log.

Can we choose our own steps?

Yes. The steps, what counts as a group or a team, and the order of next steps are set for each church.

What about giving?

Giving badges are off until your church approves them, and they stay locked on every card until then.

What does it cost?

Fully Known is in its pilot. Ask for a walkthrough and we will talk about what fits your church.
