For church staff and leaders

Know every person in your church by name.

Type a name and see one card: where they are on their journey, who they live with, and a good next step. Read live from Planning Center, built for the people who care for your church.

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

An invented person. Real cards are seen only by the people your church names.

Why it exists

As a church grows, people get lost in the gaps. Someone comes to Starting Point, 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 front door to the system you already use, made for people instead of administrators.

What it shows

Their steps

Starting Point, baptism, a community group and a serving team, each as a simple badge that lights up when it is true.

Their household

Who they live with, with the same badges for each adult, and the family's latest check-in, since adults rarely check themselves in.

A next step

The first step they have not taken yet, in the order your church chooses, so every conversation has somewhere to go.

How it treats your people's information

Planning Center stays your system of record. Fully Known only reads from it and never changes a thing.
Read live, kept nowhere. Cards are fetched fresh each time and are not saved. The only record kept is who opened whose card, so your church can always see it.
Only the people you name. Each church decides exactly who can sign in, and each person signs in with a code sent to their own email.
Children stay private. They never appear in search, and their cards do not open. They show only as names in a parent's household.
Sensitive fields are never requested. Medical notes, birthdates and background checks are never read. Giving stays locked until your church approves it.

Where it comes from

Fully Known is being built by Richard Schmidt, first with and for Valley Life Church. Each church gets its own private address and its own list of people who can sign in. In time, other churches will be able to use it too.
